Lead Learner's Message
Goooooood evening #BroncoStrong faculty and staff!
I hope everyone is having a magnificent weekend! Don't forget this upcoming week we start Social Studies and Science interventions during Team Time. I have sent out the the new lists so please tell kids to review the lists posted at their normal locations sometime Monday or Tuesday. Please tell them to check both Wednesday and Friday to see where they belong on both days.
We have LOTS going on, so read this edition of the Bronco Chronicles within 48 hours. I hope you made today the BEST Sunday of the week! Thanks so much for all you do and don't forget, our mindsets shape our behavior when it comes to learning. #Growthmindset

FIND YOUR CALLING
Find Your Calling is on a mission to help students figure out what they want to do before they rack up thousands of dollars in debt and find themselves in a job they can’t stand. The program starts by assessing what’s important to the student and then works on pairing the student with career options and the education needed to get there.
Students start by taking either a short or long questionnaire based on their interests. Find Your Calling then shares personal strengths and pathways. Each pathway can be added to student profiles and each one is then broken down into more specific careers.
For instance, if the Travel and Tourism pathway is suggested, students can learn specifically about being an event planner. The event planner page—a specific career page—gives a projected yearly salary, suggested level of education, tasks performed by someone in this field, and even a list of specific companies that have hired people in the student’s state or region!
Once careers have been “liked” and automatically saved to student profiles, Find Your Calling goes so far as to suggest schools in the area that will help students reach their goal.
