Career Planning
Students complete career artifacts that align with Pennsylvania’s Academic Standards for Career Education and Work. Career Education and Work Standards describe what students should know and be able to do at the end of 8th grade in the following four areas:
- 13.1 Career Awareness and Preparation
- 13.2 Career Acquisition (Getting a Job)
- 13.3 Career Retention and Advancement
- 13.4 Entrepreneurship
Students complete at least two artifacts each year using the Naviance management system. In addition, all 8th grade students create an individualized career plan.
