I hope everyone has as nice a weekend as I did. When you come into class, please click the link to the left (Keyboarding Practice) or log into TypingWeb.com and practice your typing for 5 minutes, or until we get started.
Next, please go to School District of Philadelphia LOGIN Page (Click Here) and use the Username & Password listed on the index cards to LOGIN to your StudentNet Accounts.
ASSIGNMENT:
Please add the following GOALS to your Individual Learning Plan on StudentNet
LT1 - Long Term Goal 1 should be a future career or college you want to go to and why
LT2 - Long Term Goal 2 should be your goal for the end of this school year
ST1 - Short Term Goal 1 should be something you can do this month to help reach LT2
ST2 - Short Term Goal 2 should be something you can change this week to help you improve.
Goals should follow the SMART outline. Make sure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.
You must list at least two (2) BARRIERS to reaching each of your Short Term Goals. Barriers can be Internal (you can change your habits to help yourself), or External (things that may be out of your control that you need help to change).
Finally, you must list a STRATEGY for overcoming each BARRIER. Your STRATEGY must be realistic and achievable.
The worksheet is not necessarily set-up for the assignment listed above. Please complete the worksheet completely prior to signing online. It helps to really be truthful to yourself about your abilities and limitations, and make sure you are doing your best to be honest about what you want to achieve. The more specific your goals, the easier it will be to complete this assignment. Start with your Long Term Goals, then Short Term Goals, then your Barriers and Strategies to overcome them. This exercise will help you to apply to High Schools and in the future. It is a good idea to follow these steps whenever you have to make a plan for something (Job, Family, Budget, Volunteering, Sports, or anything else you want to improve throughout your life.)

Assignment:
Use the Philadelphia Notebook to identify High Schools you are interested in applying for. Use your Student ID and Password for StudentNet. Use the information on StudentNet to fill out the worksheet for your Counseling Folder. Find your 7th Grade Final Grades for Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies. Find your Attendance Records and other Information on the form. Do research about the schools you are interested in. Finish the forms on the cover of your Counseling Folder and the High School Application and Return the folder to Mrs. Cohen.
Please follow the instructions given by Mrs. Cohen over the next few days to help you start the application process for High School Selection. We will be working on StudentNet and High School Applications in Computer Science Class until Thursday.
Friday and next week we will begin IMovie. Follow along and please take the next few days seriously. The high school you attend can be critical in helping decide on a college or future career. We are here to help you make the best decision you can.
Good Luck!
