3 Dear Parents and Students; This Career and Educational Planning Guide is intended to assist students as they make plans for a career that will lead to a rewarding and enjoyable future. We urge students and parents to work with the school faculty to review the information in this book in preparation for creating the student s Personal Plan of Study. Each year you will annually revisit the student s Personal Plan of Study. The Personal Plan of Study is the student s unique plan of study which outlines courses that align with future education and career goals. When students see the relevancy of high school course work to what they aspire to in their future, they are more apt to take school more seriously and enroll in more rigorous and relevant courses. Remember, course selection is very important and schedule changes can be very difficult. Parents please familiarize yourself with the abundance of information in this book and actively participate with your school and student in creating and reviewing your student s Personal Plan of Study. Students rank parents as the most influential people in their lives. Challenge your student(s) to set high standards, select courses and school activities which directly help him/her achieve personal and career goals, work hard to achieve these goals and attend classes daily. Embrace the power of your influence and genuinely engage in educational pursuits with your student(s). We look forward to partnering with you for a successful year. Please don t hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance. Sincerely, Moberly High School Guidance Office Shannon Stanek, Guidance Counselor sstanek@moberly.k12.mo.us 10 th and 12 th grades Maeghan Gunn, Guidance Counselor mgunn@moberly.k12.mo.us 9 th and 11 th grades Ayana Shivers, College and Career Counselor ashivers@moberly.k12.mo.us

10 6 NCAA web site: NAIA website: MAC SCHOLARS PROGRAM The purpose of the Minority Achievement Committee (MAC) Scholars is to encourage historically underrepresented minority students at Moberly High School to do their best academically while assisting one another reach their potential. The program also seeks to build a network and support system, build positive relationships with other minority scholars and explore college and career options. The goals of the group are to increase achievement and parental involvement, decrease the achievement gap, and to discuss issues uniquely related to minorities striving for success in today s society. ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES The curriculum of the AP American History, AP Calculus, and AP English courses are aligned with the courses offered through the College Board Placement Program. Normally, students may choose to pay approximately $84 to take an AP exam at the end of the course hoping to qualify for college credit, advanced placement, or exemption from certain academic requirements or prerequisites upon entering the college of their choice. Interested students must make a deposit of $15 by 2/28 to the guidance office. The AP American History course requires a great deal of reading. DUAL CREDIT The Dual Credit Program, with a written agreement between MHS and MACC, gives the opportunity to take college level courses for both high school and college credit while remaining in their own high school. Dual credit academic classes will transfer to any public institution and most private institutions in the state. Students requesting information regarding transferability of courses to a specific college need to contact an MACC representative or check macc.edu website. Students are advised to contact the four-year college of their choice to see how the number of dual credit hours affects scholarships. Some colleges and universities will limit the number of dual credit courses that they accept in transfer and others will not. The following table lists the courses offered at Moberly High School which can be taken for dual credit, the name and section numbers of each at the college level and how many college credits they are worth.

12 8 CAREER PLANNING Purpose of Career Paths and Career Clusters Career Paths Career paths are clusters of occupations/careers grouped according to participants interests and talents or skills. All paths include a variety of occupations that require different levels of education and training. Thus, career paths provide a plan for all students, whatever their interests, abilities, talents, or desired levels of education. Selecting a career path provides a student with an area of FOCUS, along with FLEXIBILITY and a VARIETY of ideas to pursue. The focus of career paths is on helping students choose a career path, not a specific occupation. Selecting a career path is not a lifelong commitment; it is a place to begin focusing one s energies. As students take different courses and learn more about themselves and careers, they will probably change career paths. Students who understand the career paths concept will be aware that there are a variety of other related possibilities if the first path no longer fits them. If different career paths become more interesting, the students can reevaluate plans, make appropriate decisions, and revise their high school plans as necessary. Benefits Deciding on a career path can assist you in exploring your interests and preparing for your future. The intent is not for you to decide on a specific occupation for the rest of your life, but to select a career path into which you can begin directing your energies. Identifying a career path can help you in selecting school courses, activities, and part-time employment. It can also help guide your participation in job shadowing, career exploration and internships. A career path choice is not a permanent commitment. As you have new experiences, you learn new things about yourself and may decide to change career paths. If you decide on a different career path to explore, you should discuss it with your counselor and adjust your future course selections in accordance with your new career exploration. CHOOSING A CAREER PATH OR CLUSTER 1. Identify your interests, abilities, and talents. 2. Identify the career path or cluster that relates to your interests, abilities, and talents. 3. Explore occupations in those career paths or clusters. 4. Decide how much education you want to receive after high school. 5. Develop a personal plan of study by selecting courses and co-curricular activities that relate to your career educational and career goal. 6. If undecided regarding a career path or cluster, choose courses from different career areas to give you a better idea of your interests.aths

What do you want to do after high school? That is a question that is asked of our students a multitude of times over the course of their public school education. It s a question that is not easily answered, due to the enormous number of possible post-secondary alternatives that are currently available to our students. Technological advances and global competition have transformed the nature of both education and work. Tomorrow s jobs will require more knowledge and training, highly developed 21 st Century Skills, technological skills, and more flexible workers than ever before. Our students need to be prepared for, and informed of, the reality of several job and career changes over the course of their lifetimes. They need to understand that they will have to continually update their knowledge and skills, which may require additional training and/or education. The Moberly School District offers a wide array of courses and experiences to its students. As students review course offerings and activities, we hope to guide them in choosing coursework and experiences that are relevant to their future goals. In planning for post-secondary goals, students should start with examining where their own interests and talents lie. This can be accomplished in many different ways within the school district; researching middle and high school classes of interest, taking interest and skill inventories, participating in career fairs offered, and taking advantage of the many extra-curricular and enrichment activities available. The school district uses the Missouri Connections online program ( for interest assessments and to explore the variety of options students have beyond high school. Using the results of career assessments students create their personal plan of study for their high school years and beyond. School counselors, teachers and other district personnel, are available to guide students and parents in this important planning process. The planning process is critical to not only meeting graduation requirements, but also to taking the coursework that will ultimately lead to a successful post-secondary transition. The following program of study templates, serve as a guide, along with other career planning materials, to help students develop their personal plans of study. Courses listed within these program of study templates are recommended coursework only and should be individualized to meet each learner s educational and career goals.
