EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The theme of a one-day “kick off” seminar on October 26, 2007, is that a “can do attitude” will shape their high school experience into a positive and successful time in their lives. The provider fee includes planning meetings (3 hours at a value of $150), materials for students (books and handbook $45 per student, or $3,150), goal setting follow-up materials and certificates ($25 per student, or $1,750); and, a one-day multiple speaker seminar presentation during the school day in the auditorium at King High School. The presentation will be divided up into four sections, and follow-up materials for students and teachers will be provided at that time. Students will be coached to write, and to commit to follow through on a specific achievable goal within the week following the seminar.
"On-track" students (successfully completing their goal) will receive an incentive award and then be challenged to write up a 30-day goal; "off-track" or non-successful students will be coached to work on a new 5-day, week-long goal, and monitored for achievement. This process will continue throughout the rest of the school year with the support of all five Career Academy faculty members and the joint homeroom period in which all 70 students have been scheduled for the 2007/2008 school year.
