Every year, Mrs. Collins has a Bible
class called “C3.” C3 stands for “Colleges, Careers, and
Choices.” It is a special class designed for students to start
thinking about where they want to go to college, what types of jobs
they are good at, and what careers they may want to go into after
graduating. One way she helps her students find this is by having
them go on a job shadow for potential career options.
Mrs. Collins hand-picks
where each student will go for their job shadow. First, the kids take
an online survey to find their interests and abilities. The students
then must fill out a sheet of their first, second, and third options
for the job shadow. Mrs. Collins then decides where to send them
based on what was filled out. She is not always able to find the
students’ top choice, but she does her best to find something
enjoyable and educational for each student.
Mrs. Collins was very
pleased with the wide variety of occupations her C3 class had chosen.
The kids picked anything from teachers to police officers to news
reporters. Mrs. Collins did a great job of getting the kids great
opportunities to shadow all sorts of jobs so they can see if the job
they picked is really the one they want to go through with.
Nearing the end of the
quarter, C3 has really been a unique experience for the sophomore
class, along with a few others. Job shadowing was really a blast, and
will be a lot of fun to share each others experiences with one
another.
