TIES Curriculum Module

Title: Career Preparation: Communicating, Analyzing, and Preparing for Your Future

Teachers: Clark, Morales, Sexton, Sweetnich

Business: Defense Acquisition University

Description: In order to better prepare for entry into a lifelong career, one must not only have a desire to pursue a certain career field, one must also have a working knowledge of how to accomplish the task. William Arthur Ward once said "We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them." This unit is intended to encourage the student to build a career from the stones given to them during their formal education years by preparing students to achieve effective technical writing, analytical reading, career exploration, and communication skills needed in the technical business world. The main scope will fall under the business umbrella of the Tech Prep program currently implemented in the state of Ohio; however, this curriculum could be adapted to any high school level (9-12) English and/or business class. The goal of this project is to introduce a manageable number of activities for use across the curriculum and in a variety of disciplines.
