pace and progress towards completion.

The stratified nature of the decision making also encourages students to work at a pace they are confident and comfortable with. The assessment will also steer students struggling with these decisions in the right direction. Preparing students for T this lesson and posting the diagnostic websites in advance will allow all students to begin this lesson in advance if pacing is an anticipated issue. The web based portions of the activity will also allow students more time to finish the research and graphic organizer portion of each activity to ensure students will be prepared to engage in discussions. The sequence of this lesson moves from teacher guided strategies (researching from provided websites) and concrete activities (standard graphic organizers) to independent applications (career cluster comparisons O and formal presentations). The flow of the lesson is to move from an entire class activity (research) to an individualized activity (presentation) while small and whole group discussions intersect and connect each step of the process. ______________________________ This planning guide was written by Karen Rubican, School Counselor, Canon-McMillan High School, Canonsburg, PA.
