Job Skills

This week in Job Skills class, students were split into two groups. The first group worked at the school store where they got to work with money, making change for customers. They also had to work on social skills by speaking with customers. The second group worked in the classroom. They started off the week learning about their IEP. With the help of their teacher, they went through their IEP and learned what different pages meant. They also discussed their current goals and accommodation. After this, students took a quiz that helped them learn their learning style, then another quiz that helped them determine what types of jobs would be a good fit for them. At the end of the week, both student groups met in the cooking classroom where one of the senior students taught them about where things were located in the kitchen and safety when cooking. Students also delivered recycling bins to classrooms and offices that did not have bins and helped donate some school store merchandise to the Freshmen Tailgate.
