1. Do you think public schools are successfully and fully preparing students for
the real world and what to expect from inside a workplace?
As an educator for 20 years, I believe our public schools have increased the
emphasis on completing CTAE Pathways in high school over the last 10 years. In
working with business, industry, and college admissions, I believe we can
continue to improve the emphasis on teaching soft skills in high school.
2. Do you think there are specific things lacking from the skills taught to
students while they are in school?
CTAE Pathways are not a graduation requirement; therefore, many students are
not receiving soft skills training.
I think it is the responsibility of both parents and schools to prepare students for
life. Our district has begun implementing Financial Literacy in Middle Schools.
Internships provide students an opportunity to explore a career early on. The real
world work experience is huge. Students are able to get a glimpse of working
adulthood.
6. At what age do you think students should really start to focus on their future
and start to make decisions as to what they want to do as a future career?
7. If you were or are the one to look at resumes and decide on who to hire and
all of the applicants were students fresh out of college, what is something
that would stand out to you and allow you to seal the deal for your decision?
9. What is one thing you would encourage high school pathway teachers to
focus on so that their students are graduating with the foundational
work/career skills they need in order to be successful?
