Hello and Welcome to the College and Career & Technical (CTE) Post Secondary Exploration Course! In our course we will explore college and major research methods as well as creating a system to narrow the college search down to find the right place for you. At the start of class we will introduce each other and share what we might be thinking for college or for careers, and the start of class will provide a chance for questions. Our start of class discussion will allow me to provide specific information on colleges, CTE programs, and careers as we go through the material. The class will also provide a lot of ideas on how to create a personalized system to help narrow and pick colleges or CTE programs you might be interested in. The system will cover categories like majors, academic programs, geography, cost, campus life, size, extra-curricular involvement (opportunities), and fit. After covering all the factors that help us in narrowing down our college choice/search - we will examine all the resources that are there for students on the campus. This will include the book store, writing center, and important offices that are important for financial aid (etc.). During each segment of the class college like Career & Technical Education Programs will be examined and part of the class. The last part of the class will be next steps while you are high school to move toward your college goals and choices. The class will end with another opportunity to ask any questions and discussion. The main format for this class is in a seminar style that allows for a lot of material to be covered, provides a discussion or opportunity to ask questions throughout, and pull specific information for each student as well as the group. I encourage a lot of discussion and questions in class, which allows for material or information that is specific to you and what you thinking for college.
Learning Goals
The College and Career & Technical (CTE) Post Secondary Exploration Course is set up to assist students in learning how to research colleges and majors. Creating a system to help make post secondary choices. What to expect when going to college? Essential programs on campus to help students be successful. One of the main learning goals is to assist students in thinking about college or careers and determine the steps to take now while in high school.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello,
My name is Michael S. Gullett. However, all my students tend to call me Mr. G! I have 20 years of being a teacher and a principal in Alaska. Plus, another six years as a young pup growing up in Alaska. I have had the wonderful opportunity to work and travel all over the state of Alaska. Many of the villages and towns are only accessible by plane or boat.
During the vast majority of my career, I have taught history/social studies; but while teaching at a high school near Anchorage (Alaska) I became a member of the Seminar or the Socratic Method to teaching. In the seminar method students and their take on learning the content through readings (many time primary documents), creating together deep philosophical questions to expand our learning, and discussion. These three aspects a main parts to a seminar class, but I can ensure future students and parents that there is so much more to this style of teaching. The Zoom technology is a perfect for examining history and language arts through the seminar style. I use the seminar style to ask my students deep philosophical questions that allows us to think deeply about history. In my classes, history comes alive is so many different ways. My teaching experience includes elementary to high grades, different contents or curriculums, special education resource, as well as Career and Technical Education.
I have been teaching on Outschool since 2020 (hard to believe it has already been four years)! I really enjoy teaching on Outschool, because I am able to teach history, language arts (writing), public speaking, and other unique classes from sports broadcasting and podcasting to classes about Alaska. I am looking forward to your son or daughter signing up for one of my classes!
I have two Master Degree: One in Educational Leadership and the second in Career and Technical Education. You will find that I do a wonderful job of getting to know my students and their future interests. This allows me to connect history to my students interest. I also have a BA in History and Secondary Education. My main emphasis for history was Native American and the Frontier (West) History. Even though this was my focus - I love all history from American History to World History and even a cool topic like 1960s Rock and Roll. One of the main reasons for joining Outschool is having the freedom to offer interest historical and language arts topics, finding out what my students are interested in, and creating classes on topics that in a traditional school I might not have the opportunity to go in depth. I know that you will find my classes fun, engaging, creative, and an excellent bridge between high school and college level content. I am also looking forward to creating exciting history and/or geography lessons for younger grade, because many times traditional schools no longer have the time to dive into these extremely fun ares.
