Self Exploration

It is time to begin thinking about our Spring CBU Plans.  The SRT Theme is Exploration.  Each grade level team is responsible for figuring out how they will incorporate Exploration into their units over the course of this semester while creating a display that showcases how this theme was integrated across the curriculum.

One idea that I would suggest is Self-Exploration.  Adolescent males are trying to understand themselves.  We are trying to teach them how to make and achieve short and long-term goals that will help them reach their dreams and become productive responsible members of society.  Concepts related to this include:  Career Exploration; Being a Male (Man); Being a Global Citizen; Generational Patterns and Family Traits / Characteristics; Interests, Goals, and Dream.  With that idea, I would also suggest creating a Career Section in your class.  Everyday for 30 days a new career related to your content area can be introduced and discussed in class.  This idea allows for students to see opportunities for themselves in your content, thus making the lessons more relevant.

I look forward to your thoughts about these suggestions.
