Career Exploration Book Cover

The primary reason for using Pathful is that our county subscribes to Pathful. It is a robust career exploration tool that features a variety of skill/interest surveys, college and career information, as well as job shawdowing and guest speaker oppurtunities. Naviance is similar platform. 

The primary purpose of our coaches is to provide personalized coaching and guidence to our students so they can explore relevant career opitions and oppurtunities beginning in grade 6. They work closely with our local work force development chapter. In addition to one-on-one meetings with students, they also conduct small groups and push-in classroom lessons. As students get older the activities become more focused how to achieve their future plans. Each grade level has it's own set of objectives, for example grade 6 is exploring personalitities and overall interests, by 9th grade students create mood boards and about what they want for their future, by 12th grade students should understand the roll of college majors or trade schools play in attaining their goals.
