I get students ready for careers, college and / or independent living.
I begin the day by checking email and making any necessary connections. After taking attendance, I facilitate instruction. During preparation periods, I make phone calls, write emails, read, plan and prepare for the next class. I teach 5 different courses each week. Two of the courses that I teach are college level. I interact with students on a personal and professional level throughout the day. At the end of the day, I do what is necessary to prepare for the next day / week / month / year.
Here's the first step for high school students
Take courses in the area of Family and Consumer Sciences and psychology. Look for ways to help others and get involved in community service. Learn to write well, read often, and experiment at home after hands on activities taught in the classroom.
