High School, Postsecondary, and Career Planning

High School and Beyond Plan

SPS High School and Beyond Plan

All students have the right to dream, aspire, and thrive. We envision that every student is equipped with the knowledge, skills, & beliefs to set meaningful goals, explore diverse pathways, and exercise agency in shaping their career and future.  我们将希望科学作为高中和超越规划过程的关键,作为推动学生走向未来的催化剂.  

Hope is something we can teach. It isn’t a feeling.  希望是我们用来激励、培养韧性、克服障碍的工具.  并指导学生如何做出明智的决定和长期计划.  我们相信高中和超越计划不仅仅是选择课程.  It is a literal pathway to the future, 为他们的旅程制定计划,并相信他们有能力和意志力来实现这一目标.  Hope is much more than wishful thinking. 科学告诉我们,这是一个人一生中最具预测性的幸福指标. Hope is measurable. And it changes lives. Hope is a cognitive process and psychological strength (Hellman & Gwinn, 2019) it requires both pathways and agency.  

High School and Beyond Planning is not a checklist, or a worksheet. It is a process where students learn how to set goals, problem solve, make long term plans, 评估高中毕业后的费用,以及如何做出明智的决定,选择一个支持他们职业目标的项目. 随着毕业的临近,学校鼓励学生改变他们的目标和计划,加入新的兴趣和知识. 这与年度高中经济援助日相结合,支持学生制定全面的未来计划和终身技能.
