Pathway Project – Decision Making Process
To introduce this project we will be listening to a Dr. Seuss classic to get some perspective on the planning and decision making process.
Click here to watch and listen to "Oh, The Places You'll Go!"
In this whimsical rhyme the good doctor covers all the components of decision making:
- Goal setting (making good decisions, finding the right path)
- Making a plan to realize those goals (steps necessary to put plan into action)
- Road block and set backs along the way(how to deal with these)
Our next project will be covering the steps above, with the addition of:
- analysis and deconstruction our goals (reasons why we make the goals we do)
ACTIVITY 1:
STEP 1: Reflecting on your career image, create a list of 5 reasons why you want to pursuit your selected career, include the following:
- your ideal work environment
- a passion or interest
- a natural ability you possess
- a skill you would like to develop or learn
- your desire to work in a group or on your own
STEP 2: Once you have established these 5 points, select 5 images from the Internet that visually represent each point, 1 image per point.
For example: Marine Biology
- Ideal work environment: outside moving around
- Passion: Love being near the water
- Interested: the diversity of living things
- Natural Abilities: very analytically minded
- Skill to Develop: find the research fascinating
- Group or Individual: individual or small group
Tomorrows Quiz: You will be given a creative exercise to complete, it will be guided exercise and you can't study for it. This exercise will be used for next weeks activities that requires some pre-thought.
