Mountain View High School Teachers feel excited about their teaching, students are involved in activities that connect the workplace to their academic learning . AYES is developing brochures linking careers to the program at the high school. All student and their parents participate in this process and meet with counselors individually on at least an annual basis. Unique and individualized attention is provided to students with circumstances that require it. An important part of the educational and occupational plan is to enhance student awareness of career and educational choices.
Students discuss social skills, employability skills, and career interests.
They also discuss how decisions impact life roles, career choices, and future possibilities. These include interpretation of the CPS, review of the Utah Career Guide, and an introduction to the Career Center where students can explore careers and take interest and aptitude tests. Sophomores are also encouraged to take the Foundations of Learning Class where the curriculum focuses on learning styles, multiple intelligence's, research skills, time management skills, Covey's Seven Habits, cultural literacy, goal setting, project planning, critical thinking, creative thinking, and presentation skills. They also participate in units on resume writing and interviewing skills in their English classes. Here they have an opportunity to participate in mock interviews and to ask questions that will help them in choosing an occupation.
