Essential Skills for College & Life Course Description:

Important Dates:   2008 - 2009 ACT TEST Dates

     In this course, upper level Classmen will learn skills that will be needed in their search for a college and how to complete that search – all while learning the keyboarding and other computer skills necessary for life beyond high school.  In this course you will complete a binder and online portfolio to take on college interviews and visits. Parts of this portfolio will include:  a personal profile of yourself, your college plan, your resume, a cover letter, references and college essays – just to name a few.  We will also briefly look at life skills needed while at college like managing your money and finances and the overall transition to college life. Here is an overview of the course and my expectations of you as a student in this course.
