About the Incubator<\/h2><\/div>

The decisions high school students make about their post-graduation plans significantly influence their futures. Students need to consider potential career paths, vocational programs, college options, such as two and four year degrees, and other opportunities. Decision Education can provide students with the skills and dispositions to navigate these big choices and support them in becoming better decision makers. <\/span><\/p>\n

The College & Career Decision-Making Incubator for High Schools is a fully funded opportunity for schools to design and pilot new instructional models nationally. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Project: Developing Decision-Making Skills in 9th and 10th Grade Seminar <\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cabarrus-Kannapolis Early College High School is rewriting their seminar curriculum for 9th and 10th grade students to implement Decision Education. In future years, they plan to extend this curriculum through 11th and 12th grade.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each student will create and maintain an electronic portfolio chronicling their experiences and decision-making efforts during their four years at the Early College. By the time they graduate, students will have curated a variety of artifacts\u2014decision tools, reflections, projects, and more\u2014that will answer the question, \u201cHow have the experiences and decisions I\u2019ve made over the past four years empowered me for success in college, career, and life?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This shift to portfolio-based assessment will make educators more deliberate and intentional about having the students reflect on the significance of the unique experiences afforded to students in the early college program, as well as how the choices they make as young adults will have an impact on their lives once they graduate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
