Success 101 Class Syllabus

Linda Weissbrod

Course Objectives
This course is designed to help students foster academic success in their high school careers, and to aid in successfully reaching life goals set by the individual student. Students will be introduced to strategies for identifying possible career interests, researching those interests, and end the semester with a working digital and paper career resource portfolio. The student’s working portfolio will travel with him/her throughout his/her high school career, in order to build upon the foundational framework started as a freshman.


Objectives of the Career Choices curriculum are:
  • To start students thinking about an ideal future.
  • To help students begin to answer the question “Who am I?”
  • To help students answer the question “What do I want?” by considering their ideal lifestyle.
  • To instill an understanding of the costs of any given lifestyle—financial costs, as well as psychological costs and the costs in terms of commitment to a given career.
  • To have students take a look at the general characteristics they hope to find in a job before they begin considering a specific career.
  • To guide students in completing a three-step process in order to arrive at a career decision they will use for the remainder of the book.
  • To help students understand two important points about decision making—that not making a decision is making a choice, and that most decisions can be changed.
  • To help students make the plans, learn the skills, and acquire the tools they will need to realize their dreams.
  • To help students learn that problems are a fact of life that must be faced head-on if they are to be overcome. Since they are responsible for their own lives, it is up to them to overcome any limitations they perceive.
  • To instill the attitudes that lead to success, as defined by each individual.
  • To introduce students to some of the most basic job hunting skills—writing resumes, locating jobs, researching the job, filling out applications, & job interviewing.
  • Designed for students to use the information they gain and the skills they develop to write their own plan of action.
  • To utilize community service as an introduction to service, civic responsibility and leadership.
Textbook/Workbook - Curriculum
The Career Choices curriculum involves students in a career and life planning process that will motivate them not only to stay in school, but also to strive for achievement. This will be accomplished by teaching decision making, problem solving and critical thinking skills, then providing students with the opportunity to practice their skills.

Late Assignments
Will not be accepted

Evaluation of Work
All work should be neat, complete, and submitted on time. Assignments will be graded on both content and completion. Effective writing skills should be demonstrated in all written assignments.


Participation Points
Daily points are awarded each class meeting. Students are required to bring a pen/pencil and their agenda planner to each class meeting. Participation in class discussions, activities and reflection time is required in obtaining daily points. Team-based learning is a classroom teaching strategy, which requires an attitude of support for the class goals each day. This includes daily positive engagement in the activities and team challenges, along with the demonstration of respect toward peers and instructors, is the expectation for each and every class meeting. If a student is removed from class, participation points for the class period will not be awarded, thus not only effecting the student’s grade, but more importantly, the success of the class in which the student is a member.
