[0:00] Hi there. My name is Jordan and I'm here [0:03] to tell you about something super cool [0:05] happening at our school. It's called the [0:08] personal learning plan. From preK all [0:11] the way through graduation, our personal [0:13] learning plan is all about you. It helps [0:16] us understand more about ourselves [0:18] through lessons about self-discovery, [0:21] financial literacy, career awareness, [0:23] and post-secary education. Starting [0:26] early, we get to explore what we're good [0:28] at and what we love to do. It's like an [0:30] adventure where we learn more about [0:32] ourselves every day. The personal [0:35] learning plan helps us explore careers [0:37] with excellent opportunities at every [0:39] grade level as we grow. Through the high [0:42] school career pathways program, we can [0:45] take foundational courses and even more [0:47] options, including advanced and college [0:49] credit classes. At the district-wide [0:52] career pathways program, we get to [0:54] explore four exciting career fields: [0:57] science and medical, innovative and [0:59] emerging technology, business and [1:01] communications, and education and human [1:04] services. These fields open a world of [1:06] possibilities. [1:08] With hands-on learning and leadership [1:10] opportunities in clubs and [1:12] organizations, we can explore our [1:14] interests more deeply. Imagine building [1:17] robots, leading a debate team, or [1:19] running a school store. High school [1:22] students can earn industry [1:24] certifications like certified nursing [1:26] assistant, Microsoft Excel, and [1:28] automotive service excellence. How [1:31] awesome is that? These certifications [1:33] give us a head start in our careers. [1:35] Thanks to our strong partnerships with [1:37] local organizations and businesses, we [1:40] get realworld learning experiences. [1:43] We can go on tours, meet professionals, [1:46] do mock interviews, and even get paid [1:48] internships. These experiences help us [1:51] learn about career paths we might want [1:53] to pursue after high school. And guess [1:55] what? We even get to decide if we like [1:57] them or not before making big decisions [2:00] about our future. The personal learning [2:02] plan prepares us for realworld careers [2:05] by giving us practical skills and [2:07] valuable experience. [2:09] Whether in science, business, [2:11] technology, or education, we're ready to [2:14] take on the world. With the personal [2:16] learning plan, we're all set to discover [2:19] who we are and what we want to do in the [2:21] future. It's all about us from preK [2:25] through graduation. [2:27] Join us on this amazing journey and [2:29] let's make our dreams come true [2:31] together.
