THE STUDENT JOURNEY

10th Grade through College and Career

STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TODAY

1. Log in at GET STARTED.  You will get a confirmation email, then prompted to create your profile as a School Counselor.  Multiple staff can do so, or they can log on as a parent.
2. Inform Students and Parents about the website. Sample posts, videos, emails, and newsletter are in the College-Bound Kit.   Your school will immediately benefit from this simple step. You can also share the  High School Student Page and the Parents Page.

FURTHER WAYS TO ONBOARD STUDENTS

• Set up your Counselor Dashboard.   This will allow you to quickly upload all your students by graduation year, automatically invite them, and see their level of engagement at a glance --  in high school and on to college. They will be in a cohort together in high school or college.  You can see their progress at any time automatically, so there is no input from you. We recommend that you upload grades 10-12.

Vocational Discipleship

(Barna report - Faith for Exiles)
Barna believes this emphasis on careers presents an opportunity for the church to engage in what could be called “vocational discipleship”. The church has an opportunity to reach this next generation of teenagers through integrating career, and calling into their discipleship efforts.
