L e s s o n 6 Support Systems Learning Objective To help students develop a system to support them in reaching a goal Materials Needed Completed student life lines from Section II, Lesson 5, Part 1 Vocabulary support system, goal, achieve, future, network SCANS Competencies Personal Qualities: Integrity/honesty; Self-management Basic Skills: Speaking Instructions for Conducting the Activity Explain that there are many people in our lives who already support us or who can provide future support to us as we reach for our goals. By recognizing who those people are and how they have helped us, we can better get the support we need. Ask the students to think back on one goal that they achieved at some point in their lives. Think back on a person that in one way or another supported them at this time in their life. (Note: If the students have completed Section II, Lesson 5, Part 1, Making a Life Line, you could ask the students to choose an event from the life line that represents a goal.) Model the activity by answering the following questions that are written on the board: • Who was this person? • How were they supportive? • What did they say to you at this time? • What did they actually do to help you achieve your goal? • Did they remain in your life or drift out of it? • Where are they now? Then divide the students into pairs and have them take turns answering the questions. Debrief the activity as a large group. Guiding questions include: • Who can you turn to for support now in your career search? • What kind of support do you need? Help with childcare? Transportation? Housing? Extension Activity Have students write an imaginary letter to the person who has supported them in the past in reaching a goal. Ask the students to recreate the situation, explaining how the person helped them, and how they might not be where they are now if it hadn’t been for their help. When the students are finished, have them share the letter with another student. Based on activity from “Personal Management: An Integrated Curriculum,” Patti McLaughlin, Curriculum Developer, ABLE Network, Seattle, Washington, 1993.

L e s s o n 7 Problem Solving Learning Objective To help students identify potential barriers and solutions to pursuing a career Materials Needed handout: “Problem-Solving Worksheet” Vocabulary barriers, solutions, alternatives, challenge, obstacles, advise, potential, community resources SCANS Competencies Thinking Skills: Problem solving; Knowing how to learn; Decision making Instructions for Conducting the Activity In this lesson, students will think through potential problems, how they solve them now, what might go wrong with that arrangement, and what another solution might be. Ask students to look back at their Family Tree from Section I, Lesson 5, where they identified people whom they talk to and take advice from when they have a problem. Then ask students to write a list of people in their lives whom they can go to for help and support. If appropriate, encourage them to add the teacher and students in the class. Then, ask students to write one potential problem a student is having (preferably related to career exploration, education, or work) on a piece of paper. Collect the problems and then post the “Problem Solving Worksheet” with one example filled in. Below is a chart with one example as a guide for the teacher and students. Problem Solution What if Another Solution I have a 2-year-old who needs care from 7:30–5:00 while I work. I leave him with my mom. Mom gets sick. I could arrange with my sister to take him on those days. I attend college classes at BHCC. I live 20 miles from campus. The transmission went out on my car. After posting the chart, pull one question at a time, and have students participate in completing the chart as a group. When all problems have been posted, distribute individual charts and ask students to record their question with the “solution,” “what if,” and “another solution” filled in. Ask the student to write some other potential problems that are personal to them, and fill in the chart. Encourage students to ask each other for help. Extension Activity Identify categories of potential problems (childcare, transportation, medical, etc.) and brainstorm community resources that can help. A suggested homework assignment: If there are some categories with few known resources, then ask each student to find one new resource to share with the group.
