COUN 286. COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS. (3 Credits)
College and career readiness is a relatively new focus in K-12 education and may become a new benchmark on which K-12 systems are evaluated. This course combines career exploration/development, college access, college knowledge information (entrance requirements, financial aid information) as well as strong grounding in non- cognitive factors that impact student success. Students will understand the myriad of factors (e.g., growth mindset, self-efficacy, resilience, optimism, self-management) that impact student successes. Students will develop strategies to integrate career development into their existing lessons and teaching strategies.
