Course Description:
This eCourse was designed for instructors from secondary schools, colleges and post-secondary training programs who want to incorporate more technology into their
Career Choices Series course.* It is also for administrators who want to provide professional development to ensure its campus-wide use for academic coaching and counseling. This eCourse provides background, tips, and strategies to successfully launch your course from the first day with a primary focus on
My10yearPlan.com®.
My10yearPlan.com® is more than just an electronic rendering of the planning process outlined in the
Career Choices Series. It is a comprehensive, internet-based system delivering 98 exercises, activities, and surveys that interact with the learner, facilitating a decision-making process that culminates in the development of a personalized 10-year plan that is not only quantitative, but more important, meaningful. My10yearPlan.com® is not a canned, one-size-fits-all experience where the learner has little control over or relationship with the outcome, similar to those found on the Department of Labor websites. Instead, My10yearPlan.com® enhances the textbook giving the computer a role that reaches beyond that of "tool" to something more akin to that of a coach, counselor, or mentor. The system gently guides, prompts, and, where necessary, prods the student through an in-depth decision-making process. The end result is an online career and skills-based education plan.
Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this eCourse, participants will:
- Manage and support the My10yearPlan.com® program on campus.
- Share the My10yearPlan.com® process with the whole campus and why it is important for student success.
- Provide professional development to the whole school on how My10yearPlan.com® is used for academic coaching and advising.
- If a high school, and you are not the School Site Executive for the campus, then help recruit and train the SSE.
- Work with your principal or dean to create a plan for campus-wide use of My10yearPlan.com®.
