October-November ELA Update!

Since September, students have been busy.  Along with their skills in their classes, they have also been exploring who they are, what they are interested in doing, and creating a research project. 

Since September, they have:

  • Took skill assessments on Career Cruising
  • Determined their natural talents and transferable skills
  • Identified their personality “color” and their traits or characteristics
  • Identified their learning styles
  • Identified what they value out of a job (work values)
  •  Using Google Drive
  • Created a rough draft of a resume
  • Created a presentation about themselves and jobs they would be interested in.

The students have been working so hard and we are just about ready to wrap up this Career Exploration session with them. 

Please note that their projects are completed using Google Drive which can be accessed anywhere using the internet.  Please feel free to take a look at your student’s project or have them practice presenting it to you.

In December, we will also start talking about:

  • Completing applications (online and paper)
  • Preparing for interviews
  • Undergoing 2 practice interviews\Participating in the first KTC job fair.

I am so excited for this year and I hope that you and your child are as well. 

Once again, if you would like to speak with me, please give me a phone call or email.  Don’t forget to check us out at ktcelainfo.blogspot.com!

Thank you!

Sincerely,
