Georgette's Week of Nov. 3-7
This week was HOSA week (our student organization). It was fun for the most part, but I clearly recognize a need to get more students involved. I did enjoy enlightening the school about our activities. I had my first guest speaker and that was a lot of fun. The students really like having a person working in the field talk to them about real-life experiences. Although, this is one more thing that I am responsible for, I enjoy it.
Hi, Georgette - HOSA offers many great experiences and activities for your students and really enriches your class and program - glad to hear your pushing for more student involvement.
ReplyDeleteGuest speakers are great, aren't they? Soon you will have a list of good speakers that will spark your program and possibly provide connections to job shadowing experiences as well as jobs for your students. Students love hearing from actual people in their career area, especially if those people are former students, which will happen for you soon, and that's a really great experience for everyone!
