	Career Choices Lead Teacher, selected and approved by the principal
	Administrators responsible for professional development for the high school or middle school campus
	You’ll also leave with the tools and the knowledge to share with Experienced Career Choices instructors who wish to attain certification as a Career Choices workshop leader or conference presenter

Just imagine if you could develop your own in-house team leader for your Career Choices/Freshman Transition course effort; someone who had the training and the tools to easily:

• Provide implementation workshops for new teachers
• Lead content-rich, capacity-building workshops for their team throughout the year
• Create buy-in strategies for the rest of the school personnel
• Facilitate the school-wide adoption of students’ 10-year plans as an effective advisory option.

To address the need for quality technical assistance in an ongoing fashion, the Career Choices Lead Teacher Institute is designed to equip you to deliver quality professional development for your school teams at your own site.

• A step-by-step agenda for 22 hours of professional development that includes:
  • A DVD of 22 training videos that will make your own workshops easy to conduct with confidence and minimal preparation.
• Strategies and tools for getting buy-in for the Freshman Transition Initiative from staff and parents.
• Innovative classroom teaching strategies that create involved learners.

• Career Choices coursework and the strategies that make it so successful.
• Optional academic and technology integration strategies that can be incorporated into their Career Choices classroom using the literature anthology Possibilities, the math supplement Lifestyle Math and online tools My10yearPlan.com, CareerChoices.com and LifestyleMath.com.
• How to use My10yearPlan.com not only in the Career Choices classroom, but throughout high school as an advisory tool for academic coaching and advisory functions

This workshop is different from a two-day Career Choice implementation workshop (which is ideal for first-time Career Choices instructors). To benefit as much as possible from the Lead Teacher Institute, it is recommended that the participant complete at least one of the following prior to attending:

• Teach the Career Choices course for at least one year
• Attend a two-day Career Choices implementation workshop
• Watch the four Career Choices Implementation workshop DVDs
