So many students graduate high school without knowing what they are going to do now. The earlier students think about their futures, the more prepared they are post high school. In this class, students ages 12-15 will take an interest inventory to determine what Holland Codes they fit into the best. We will learn what each Holland code is and what that means for the student. As a class, we will use a website during class to search occupations that fit into each Holland Code. They will learn the average wage, outlook, and education needed for different occupations they choose to look at. We will discuss what occupations they found at the end of class with everyone. No prior knowledge is needed for this class and all students in this age group are welcome to attend. *This class can take up to 50 minutes depending on how many students are in the class.*
Learning Goals
The goal for this class is to learn the different Holland Codes and explore which code the student fall into. They will then more knowledgeable about which career paths fall into their interests. This will NOT, of course, guarantee that your student will know exactly what career path they want to do, but it can help get them thinking about it and hopefully narrow it down.

Hello!! My name is Amanda. (My students can call me Amanda, or Teacher, or Teacher Amanda. Whatever they prefer). I am so excited to teach your child! I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Family, Consumer, and Human Development, and a Master of Education Degree in Psychology. I worked about 2 years in the counseling office in schools(helping students aged 12-18), but now I stay home with my 2 kids. I also spent 2 years teaching Chinese Children English online, ages 5-14.
Working with the school counselors, my favorite thing to talk to students about is their futures and planning what post high school holds for them. I want to include classes that will help students with this and give them resources to use.
I am also a book junky, especially YA readers. I'm planning on adding more book club and trivia classes to go with different books as I read more.
My teaching style is usually pretty calm, relaxed, and chill. I love to joke around and have fun with my students.
My favorite thing to do is go on adventures with my husband and kids. We especially love spending time in the mountains. I also love reading, going on long walks, and taking bubble baths.
I am looking forward to seeing your student in my classroom!!Reviews
