I chose the CD7 9-12th Grade, Lifelong Learning and Goal Plan. The lesson plan begins in the 8th grade and it has a holistic approach to working with high school students. The idea is to focus on academia, as well as plans post high school. The student has the opportunity to choose the option that best suits their needs. In addition, the student starts thinking of their future before the 12th grade, which can combat unnecessary stress and anxiety related to impending changes.

Grade Level: 9th - 12th grade (initiated in the 8th grade)

Objective: Students will learn knowledge, skill, and understanding to implement during the process of identifying post-secondary options.

Specific Instructions: Lesson plan attached
