Capstone 1: Making a Difference in the World Around Me
This course will continue to focus on the “work world”. While the students will be finalizing their professional resumes, practicing interview skills, obtaining and completing employment applications. Students will be completing their electronic portfolios.
Capstone 2: Harnessing our Strengths
This literacy-based course will guide students on making personal decisions and commitments. The course begins with The Three Questions based on a story by Leo Tolstoy. The Three questions, “When is the best time to do something?” “Who is the most important one?” and What is the right thing to do?” invite our students to explore the skills of decision making and its impact on them as individuals and in their social circles.
Capstone 3: Wellness Seminar
This class focuses on mindfulness and application of strategies as well as building awareness of emotions and resources for emotional regulation within the community.
Capstone 4: Networking: Making an Impact with Professionalism and Community Outreach
This course will center on the social aspect of a work environment with an emphasis on the hidden curriculum of the individual’s workplace. Seminars will provide students with opportunities to share both successes and stressors and seek assistance for conflict resolution within the workplace.
Capstone 5: Opening New Worlds: Self Advocacy
This course focuses on good decision-making skills. Decision making is a complicated process as it can have far-reaching effects on many people in our lives: whether it is to move into an apartment with a friend, or to commit to the care of another individual or to change jobs. This course attempts to move previously taught concepts and skills into another dimension of adulthood.
