Individual Planning and

Student Support Systems - A

Jigsaw Way
Jigsaw Junction High School has undoubtedly dedicated its teachers, administrators,
and professional staff toward providing A+ quality support to its respected students.
Each student brings their own unique qualities, interests, strengths, and even
weaknesses. As a committed team of professionals looking to provide the highest level
of support for our students, we have created three activities designed to improve our
students in each of the following domains: academic, personal/social, and career. Each
of the three activities that tie into these domains are as follows:

Academic Responsibility, Growth, and Analysis

A:A1.3 Take pride in work and achievement
A:A3.1 Take Responsibility for their actions
A:B2.3 Develop and implement annual plan of study to maximize academic
ability and achievement
Activity: Students will actively be involved in standardized and general test
review, interpretation, and analysis with their teachers and counselors. A meeting
will be conducted quarterly with each student to go over achievements, struggles,
and what support/ actions can be implemented to make them continue to
succeed in future goals.

Interest Inventory Design

PS:A1.1 Develop positive attitudes toward self as a unique and worthy person
PS:A2.3 Recognize, accept, respect, and appreciate individual differences
C:B1.2 Identify personal skills, interests and abilities and relate them to current
career choice
Activity: Each student will participate in an interest inventory session each
school year. The interest inventory changes as the students progress from grade
to grade to better suit the needs of that particular age group. The overarching
principle in each of these inventory sessions is to promote the strengths and
positive qualities each student has, while embracing and recognizing others
strengths, as well.This will also give them insight to career options, and the
mindset to improve their strengths further.

College Selection Committee- An Evaluation and Analysis of the Future

C:A1.2 Learn about the variety of traditional and nontraditional occupations
C:A1.5 Learn how to make decisions
C:B2.1 Demonstrate awareness of the education and training need to achieve
career goals
Activity: Counselors will meet with students in the first few months of the school
year to go over and evaluate their potential college choices. This meeting is
designed to make sure that students are choosing colleges that fit their individual
needs and occupations. Students will learn what they have to do to be successful
once they arrive at their college, and how to make decisions once they arrive
there on their own.
