If any student did not complete the two surveys from yesterday they must complete them both today. Click on yesterday and follow the instructions.
Today will be the last day of advisory if you would like to have a party with your seniors.
April 25th
Students need to complete the Final Senior Transcript and Scholarship Survey. Here is PowerPoint please look at this and go over it with your advisories. This is mandatory for the seniors to fill out before graduation. Make sure they complete this. If they don't they will be called down to the office to finish so please don't add more work for the counselors to do during graduation. The PowerPoint does a very good job of explaining what the kids need to do. To get to the Family Connections students need to go to the Liberty High School website, then click on counseling, then scroll down and on the right hand side they will see the link to Family Connections.

TEACH Kansas City: Student Survey Instructions
Along with 20 other local districts and teacher preparation programs, Liberty Public Schools (LPS) is a founding partner of the recently launched TEACH Kansas City initiative. This initiative’s goal is to elevate the perception of the teaching profession to attract more high school and college students to consider teaching, and then to provide those students with free resources, tools, and support to become teachers in the Kansas City area.
One of the elements of the partnership is the Career Interest Survey for high school students, which is a key enabler of LPS’s ability to identify and eventually recruit back its alumni to become teachers once they graduate from college.
This online survey is very short (3-5 min), and will provide LPS, your team, and your students with valuable information and opportunities:
-
Students get the option to sign up for TEACH Kansas City, where they will gain access to information, tools, and opportunities to help them explore and pursue teaching.
-
After the survey administration, schools will receive a summary of their student responses (e.g., career interests, desired career exploration resources, etc...) to further inform any existing college and career planning efforts in place, and with each annual administration, you will be able to track and benchmark results over time.
-
After students graduate from high school, schools will have access to data about their alumni who are TEACH Kansas City subscribers (e.g., how many are education majors, etc…) and the opportunity to communicate with them through TEACH Kansas City.

#BuildSomeoneUp
Breakfast Club is excited to have your partnership in launching our #BuildSomeoneUp
initiative. Please show the video below (4 min).
Please make sure you are able to play it and that the audio is easily heard. The beginning and ending text is important for the overall message we are conveying.
- After the video, ask the students to check their emails. The video will be emailed to them. We are hoping that everyone will want to share and post the video to start a wave of building up others!
- You can, of course, run with this theme in any way you like! One thought might be to take a group advisory pic and tweet it out sharing how your advisory is all about #BuildSomeoneUp
- David McDorman invited Dallas Ackerman to this event. There is a possibility that someone may come to your classroom for feedback/response.
Advisory Competition - Social Work Closet
Please show Advisory students the slideshow below AND the embedded video
March 14th
For the extended advisory students will be watching a portion of the ESPN film Broke which shows the lives and spending habits of certain athletes. These athletes talk about the downfalls of financial decisions they made and what happens to their money when they stopped playing.
Before watching the movie ask the students to come up with a number they felt if they make per year there would be no way they would go broke. Once you get this number from the students write it on the board and they will see how their number compares to some of the amounts these athletes made.
Once you have stopped the video discuss with the class what poor decisions these people made with their money. Do some of these same decisions apply to people who go broke that don't make millions?
Make sure to start the video from the beginning. I am probably going to show 45 minutes to an hour depending on how interested my kids are in it and then give them the rest of the hour to work on assignments or homework they have. This is up to you. You can always do grade checks if you have time.
