Goal

Students enrolled at Beacon High School will be able to identify courses, standardized and concordant assessments, overall graduation requirements, develop positive mindsets and determine post-secondary goals and actions needed to be successful. 

What will be done with my students

Students will meet with me individually to determine which graduation requirements are still unmet. They will receive a graduation checklist indicating which goals have been met and those still needing attention. Small group sessions will be held to help students change their mindset towards positive actions and goals. A bulletin board will be set up where students will set their goals and actions at the beginning of the year. As students move forward we will celebrate their attainment of those goals. Students will be well informed of testing dates and assisted in determining which date(s) best suits their schedule to take the SAT/ACT. Pull out sessions will be scheduled to help the student register for the ACT/SAT, take their picture for their admission ticket, and print out their ticket. Pull out sessions will be handy in helping the student apply for their FSA ID, be informed and instructed about the FAFSA, college options-state colleges/universities, vocational schools, and overall requirements. Students that have specific post-secondary goals in mind, will be assisted in researching their individual school/track needs. 

Benefits to my students

Students at Beacon are at great risk for dropping out. This is their last chance in many cases of earning a high school diploma. My students receive individualized attention and direction. They are given realistic data which helps them develop a better vision of their current situation and future possibilities. A well informed student has a better chance of developing into a successful member of society. 

Budget Narrative

The colored paper will be purchased to identify grade levels and for topic materials for small group mindset matters development. The ink cartridges will go into the printer that will be used to print the admission tickets (color) and any handout required by the student.
