Career Explorations Fall 2008
This course will provide students resources to learn about and prepare for college, Technical Center courses, employment and personal growth. Topics addressed will include self-awareness, career research/exploration, work ethics, workplace expectations, career strategies, school-to-work transitions, diversity in the workplace, and lifelong learning. A variety of assessment tools will be used to help a student identify strengths and personal talents/interests as they may relate to their future career and/or education. Upon completion of the course, a student will have created an electronic career portfolio using Adobe Dreamweaver. Career Explorations is taught by three teachers: David Lamberti, Brian Schwartz, and Mike Arcovitch. To ensure every student is taught the same curriculum and assessed fairly, we have developed a single web page for all Career students.

Computer Literacy Fall 2008
This year we are taking measures to make our Computer Literacy course more appropriate for the new generation of technology users. This course will not only briefly teach proper touch-typing mechanics, but also cover more technological concerns with the use of iSafe. My classes will also be piloting blogging and RSS feeds into our everyday classes. Proper report composition will also be taught by utilizing reports from other classes, and how to best format and compose them. We will also incorporate innovative assignments where students compose researched letters to a political figure and actually send the letter. There will also be an opportunity for students to receive ‘Honors’ distinction by meeting certain standards.
