Igniting Students' Interests





What was it that got you interested in your career or what you wanted to do before you left high school?




Teachers also look for ways to help students come to that conclusion before they graduate There are so many programs and courses, like drama, creative writing, band, and psychology to stimulate our teenagers minds and to give them an idea what they might be doing if they had a career in one of those areas.


This week a history teacher sent around her students to inform classes about the Peace Corps, as well as a personal hygiene collection to send to Africa. I gladly welcomed them to come in and speak. It is important to get children involved in things they feel passionate about. Having them come in went right along with the human rights stuff we have been learning about too! This also helped them think about their future. Is Peace Corps something they may want to do? I am always looking for ways to ignite their interests for their future!
