Career Cruising Introduction
Before the end of the year I will be entering all 6th grade Language Arts classrooms and teaching a lesson on Career Cruising. It will be an introduction to the program and allow students to begin creating their profile. More information below.
Career Cruising is an Internet-based career exploration and planning tool your child uses to explore career and college options and develop a career plan. Career Cruising can be accessed from school, from home, or wherever your son or daughter has access to the Internet. Features of the program include:
- Interest and Skills Assessment – a world-renowned career assessment tool to help people identify suitable career options based on their interests and skills
- Career Profiles -thorough and up-to-date information about hundreds of different occupations, including direct links between careers and college programs

- College and Financial Aid Information -comprehensive college and financial aid information, with a number of useful search tools to help students find the right college and the right scholarships
- Electronic Career Portfolio -available online, so students can develop their education and career plans from wherever they access Career Cruising

Career Apparel Day
Part of my job as a middle school counselor is to get students thinking about and talking about college. To engage students in a conversation about college students and staff we asked to wear college apparel on Friday, March 20th and ask/answer questions about college throughout the day. Below are a couple pictures captured throughout the day.
Lunch Bunch
Mrs. Hanseling’s 3rd quarter Lunch Bunch students invited a friend on Friday, February 13th for a Valentine’s Day mini celebration. Students talked about appreciation and how important it is to tell/show others how we appreciate everything they do. Then students wrote a letter to someone in their life that they truly appreciate. On Valentine’s Day students gave their letters to the special people in their lives. Finally, in honor of the holiday the group attempted to make a heart using their hands…we all thought it turned out pretty good…
