15 Aug Your role and responsibility as a school counselor as it relates to providing career and college counseling.
Secondary school counselors work with students throughout their high school years in preparation for college and post-secondary education. Because students may not be exposed to this information through other avenues, school counselors must provide accurate and comprehensive information about post-secondary options.
Create a 10-12 slide digital presentation to present to secondary students that explains the following information:
- Your role and responsibility as a school counselor as it relates to providing career and college counseling.
- Current requirements for high school graduation in NORTH CAROLINA:
- Core curriculum requirements and credit hours.
- World language requirements.
- Elective credit requirements.
- Minimum acceptable GPA.
- Standardized college assessments:
- Names of assessments
- General times of year assessments are offered
- Description of assessment
- Minimum scores required to pass
- Re-take information
- At least 3-4 examples of the college admission requirements from a local college or university:
- Required courses prior to college admission
- High school GPA required
- Acceptable assessments and minimum scores
- Types of careers and levels of education:
- The levels of education that can be achieved through college (i.e., AA, BA, MA).
- List 2-3 types of careers per degree that often require specific degrees.
- The length of time each degree requires for completion.
The digital presentation should include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes. Additionally, it should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
