1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,240 [Classical Music] 2 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,860 Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a great day 3 00:00:19,860 --> 00:00:24,180 I am Madalyn Grieb, I currently work as an Advising Specialist for TRiO 4 00:00:24,180 --> 00:00:28,800 Transfer Opportunity Program in Student Support Services at Umpqua Community 5 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,059 College while studying to receive my Masters in Teaching with an Emphasis in 6 00:00:33,059 --> 00:00:38,100 Business Education. I have a strong passion and progressing development of 7 00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:41,880 our high school graduates. I wanted to dive deep into the topic for today; 8 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,820 Career Development Activities to Enhance the Skills of High School Students to 9 00:00:45,980 --> 00:00:50,700 Transition to Young Professionals. The study suggests career development 10 00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:54,690 activities that can be used by teachers to enhance the Essential Skills of high 11 00:00:54,690 --> 00:00:58,560 school students through professional applications to transition into 12 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,000 adulthood to begin let's direct our attention to the graph. The rate of high 13 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,009 school graduation rates are increasing from around 10% from the class of 2008 14 00:01:08,009 --> 00:01:13,649 to the class of 2015. In fact, the class of 2015 the overall 15 00:01:13,649 --> 00:01:18,149 graduation rate is 78.7% point which states a 2% 16 00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:22,950 growth in high school graduates from the class of 2014. However why is this 17 00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:28,770 important well the 2% growth represents 950 more students with the high school 18 00:01:28,770 --> 00:01:35,490 diploma than the year before to emphasize that it's 950 more students 19 00:01:35,490 --> 00:01:39,889 that now have the opportunity to apply for a greater variety of jobs or start 20 00:01:39,889 --> 00:01:46,770 post-secondary education now we can move on over to the abstract section. Where it 21 00:01:46,770 --> 00:01:51,689 states that in January of 2007 the State Board of Education voted to strengthen 22 00:01:51,689 --> 00:01:55,770 high school graduation requirements to better prepare each student for success 23 00:01:55,770 --> 00:01:59,969 in college work and citizenship. Before going too far 24 00:01:59,969 --> 00:02:04,950 let's review some important vocabulary real quick. The Essential Skills are to 25 00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:09,630 read and comprehend a variety of text write clearly and accurately applied 26 00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:13,620 mathematics in a variety of settings. Whereas the personal learning 27 00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:19,410 requirements are an education plan and profile extended application career 28 00:02:19,410 --> 00:02:23,849 related learning experience. With the rise in high school graduations means 29 00:02:23,849 --> 00:02:28,160 that more students earned a my thought successfully completed the 30 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,970 credit requirements demonstrate proficiency in the Essential Skills and 31 00:02:31,970 --> 00:02:36,320 meet the Personalized Learning Requirements. In my research, I have taken 32 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,310 the consideration of the growth in rates and quality of high school diplomas 33 00:02:40,310 --> 00:02:44,280 through the Essential Skills and Personal Learning Requirements. 34 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,860 I suggest the use of what I call Professional Implication some examples 35 00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:54,900 to name a few of a Professional Implication will be to Create a Resume 36 00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:59,040 and Cover Letter, Public Speaking, Appropriate Communication, Appropriate 37 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,250 Attire and Filling in a Job Application or a W-2 tax form. Though I would love to 38 00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:08,340 implement a mandatory professional transition class to high school 39 00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:12,090 graduates there is a different way we can implement the Professional 40 00:03:12,090 --> 00:03:16,530 Implications to their education to move on to the left side of the poster. You 41 00:03:16,530 --> 00:03:20,990 will see the classes that fulfill the graduation requirements. 42 00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:26,480 I have suggested some examples in how to implement Professional Implications into 43 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,700 their graduation requirement classes. First, in high school within their 3 44 00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:35,210 credits of social studies the Professional Implication can be creating 45 00:03:35,210 --> 00:03:40,250 a Resume for the historical figure Rosa Parks. Second, writing a personal 46 00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:44,180 statement that gets reorganized into a Cover Letter in 1 of the 4 47 00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:50,480 english classes in high school. Third, trying to Fill out a Job Application in 48 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,250 their foreign language class. Fourth, in health class talking about Appropriate 49 00:03:55,250 --> 00:04:00,950 Attire to wear in different types of working environments. Even though that is 50 00:04:00,950 --> 00:04:04,460 only a start of examples that can be implemented into high school curriculum. 51 00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:09,290 It is the beginning to build on the growth and value of the high school 52 00:04:09,290 --> 00:04:12,190 graduates in Oregon. 53 00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:38,160 Please, reach out to me at Madalyn Grieb on LinkedIn. I would love to discuss 54 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,060 different activities that you would love to see fill in to the high school 55 00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:46,560 experience to enhance the transition from high school student to young 56 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,380 professional.
