Individualized instruction is provided to each student. Basic math concepts and applications are taught, with an emphasis on developing pre-algebra skills. This course assesses student interest and abilities in relation to careers. Several career assessments are utilized and units on appropriate work behaviors and completion of actual job applications are covered.
Students also learn interview skills and participate in mock interviews with community volunteers.
Topics include budgeting, banking, credit, comparison buying, taxes, and wages. An emphasis is placed on the development of effective organizational skills and good study habits. I assist individual student needs in General Science and Algebra IA by attending those classes with the students, and overseeing such things as effective note-taking, staying on task, and successful completion of class assignments and tests.
