Career Awareness Program to Connect to Black History Month and Women's History Month Celebrations
Our staff members have been thinking about how to have a meaningful and relevant celebration of Black History Month as well as Women’s History Month. We also want to align the work to our family goal setting initiative and the District’s focus on college and career readiness. The goal of the program is to have our students reflect on how they will make their own history.
Over the next few weeks, our students will identify a STEM field they want to work in. Once the field is identified they will research, for their Capstone Project, an African-American and a Female STEM Professional who have made an impact in their chosen field. Students will identify how their role models trained for their field, developed job experience, and the impact they have had on their STEM Field. Once done, they will develop a goal for making their own history in their STEM area and a plan to achieve that goal. Students will present their work to their grade level at the 2nd Capstone on March 14th.
Teachers are always encouraged to develop classroom projects throughout February and March to support students in celebrating Black History Month and Women’s History Month so additional information will come from the classroom teachers.
