week 9 Classroom Guidance Activity

Overview of Activity:

I actually used this activity for my 2nd tape.  We meet with our seniors about what they need to be doing for college.  I have made a PowerPoint that we go over with them in their homerooms.  There are about 20-30 students and we give them a copy of their transcript as well.  We have a parent night with a similar PowerPoint as well.

Purpose:

To educate seniors about college planning and credits needed to graduate.

Age Group:

seniors

Materials:

Power point, transcripts

Intervention:
I would say this is prevention because you are helping students plan ahead.

Activity:

Just follow the PowerPoint slides that I will post tomorrow.  It usually takes approximately an hour depending on how many questions you have to field at the end.

Follow up act activities:

I will meet with students one on one to address their specific post high school plans and then have follow up meetings as needed to help them carry out whatever they have chosen to do.

Contingency Plan:

Remember to always remain calm and keep your sense of humor.  The main problem that I have had in the past is if the computers are not working for the PowerPoint.  If that happens. I have a hard copy of the PowerPoint with me. However,  it is more effective when the students can see it as well as hear the information on the PowerPoint.
