JAG

Students will research and learn about famous entrepreneurs. They will focus on the characteristics of entrepreneurs and reflect on characteristics within themselves. Students will create a business plan for their own business. They will present it to Entrepreneurs in the community.

Students will identify Title 1 Schools in their areas, potentially the elementary school the majority of the students attended. They
will then identify an after school program they would have enjoyed participating in with high schoolers, (i.e. basketball, coding,
art, Minecraft, animation). Students would need to group together common ideas and then propose the various ideas to the rest
of the class to then vote on. The
purpose of this project would be to collectively create an idea that would in turn give back to their communities, give them a
chance to own their roles in their communities, be a mentor to a group of students that are much younger than they are, and learn the basic idea for proposing a business plan for a new idea/venture.

Students will complete a community assessment and using the problem solution lens develop an entrepreneurial idea that will change their community.

Students will be able to do the following:
Identify several professions in the healthcare field, identify characteristics of effective healthcare providers, and consider if any of the occupations covered in class are appropriate paths for them.

Students will be introduced to the JAG goals and standards and encouraged to treat their education like their job. They will learn about classroom and employer expectations, filling out applications, requesting letters of reference, and taking part in a 30-day review. It is encouraged for specialists to use this project at the beginning of the school year.

Students will be able to understand the general entrance requirements, expectations, & career opportunities for each branch ofthe military (Army, National Guard, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard). Through the ASVAB & Future Ready Iowa career assessment they will able to align their top 3 career interests to career opportunities with each branch of the military.

Students will work to become self-aware about the barriers that they face. They will learn about local resources available to help overcome said barriers. *This project is not exclusively for students with learning disabilities. It can be applied to all students and any barriers they may have to include, but not limited to, mental health issues and other family related traumas.

Students will create a portfolio that can allow them to show off all of their skills and accomplishments that make them employable. They will compile a binder with all of their documents to present when they are going through an interview process. Students will also have an opportunity to participate in a mock interview. They will then be able to get in groups and create a multimedia presentation of a top 10 list of do�s and don�ts of resume writing, cover letters, filling out an application, professional dress attire, etc.

Students will go through a series of activities to prove they have the soft skills necessary to be successful at their job. Each activity will focus on different soft skills students are lacking in the workplace. The challenges will encourage creativity, communication, critical thinking, listening skills, respect, flexibility, problem solving, teamwork, patience, negotiation, time management, and interpersonal skills. Students will then create a game/activity that incorporates soft skills, to present to the Pep Assembly Committee for use at future assemblies.

Students will become more self-aware and understand how their strengths and weaknesses are used in their daily lives, in relationship with others, and how their skills and attributes could benefit them in the military. Students will be exposed to how those strengths and weakness could make them successful in different career paths in the military.

Adult students rarely have the opportunity to tell their own stories. Many of them simply intend to go to school, achieve their High School Equivalency Diploma and simply move on. This activity gives them the opportunity to overcome their greatest obstacle: themselves. Through the lost art of introspection, the specialist allows students to go on a self-guided tour of discovery and rediscovery of themselves by showing where they have been as a catalyst to where they are going.

The students will be planning and implementing a Veterans Day Breakfast & Ceremony to be held on a school day prior to the Veterans Day Observance. Students will work in classes and on committees to create a menu, develop the budget, develop a program for the ceremony, invite guest speakers, and begin advertising & seeking donations from local businesses.
Purpose-The purpose of this event is to provide free breakfast and student-led ceremony to show our local veterans and their family members the utmost respect they deserve for their sacrifice and service.

Students will research a career of interest using online and �live� resources (e.g. job shadow, informational interview) and reflect on it to determine if that career is a fit for them based on their interests, skills/abilities, aptitudes, and personality. Through this project, students will complete the Holland Code Interest Inventory, Myers-Briggs, utilize online resources (e.g O-Net, Occupational Outlook Handbook, Career One Stop), and complete a job shadow and/or multiple informational interviews.Students will also explore one career cluster using the career map packets developed by JMG.
