|| Career Education is currently systemically available via our Careers Class (currently 1/4 credit). However, career exploration opportunities (internships, job shadows) are currently only available to a number of students typically due to conflicts in and related to student schedules during the school day. || A longitudinal, systemic approach following goals of the 21st Century Learning Task Force. (See attached proposal outline) Additional staff time required to organize, implement, monitor, evaluate, assess, and verify completion of this requirement. || Student driven. Will not require students to have available time in their course schedules. **Although, students initial requirements (interest assessments) will need to be implemented by advisor and is required before students proceed.** Students may complete assignments (job shadows and final projects) on their own time in grades 10 through 12.
