Take a minute…• What message(s) is the video
trying to illustrate?• What is YOUR opinion about the
video?• Think about whether or not the
explanation of how to “succeed” in today’s economy has any bearing on the post-high school options YOU are currently exploring…

High School & Beyond Plan
An evolving process of career exploration and academic planning. Completion of this on-line portfolio is a graduation requirement.
Each year, we will help you explore what you’re passionate about and/or interested in (Who am I?) and then research careers that match your interests & skills (What, then, can I become?). Finally, we help you determine the education/training needed for that career! (How do I become that?).
Lessons will be led by (me) using the Career Cruising website as a tool to help you figure out what to do after high school.
