Southwest Airlines Adopt-A-Pilot Program

-
Southwest Airlines has an amazing Adopt-A-Pilot program that teaches students about careers in aviation and the importance of education.  I happened to learn about this program by flying on Southwest Airlines this summer to the ASCA National Conference in Seattle, WA.

The Southwest Airlines Adopt-A-Pilot Program connects pilots to 5th grade classrooms for a mentorship program.  Students learn about core subjects through aviation related activities. They also learn F.L.I.G.H.T. values (Fearlessness, Leadership, Imagination, Gratitude, Honesty, Tenacity) and the importance of education and staying in school.

Registration is open until October 31st. I'm sure this is an extremely popular program, so act fast to register the 5th grade classrooms at your school!

There is also an online version of the Adopt-A-Pilot program where classes can connect with a pilot virtually through email while completing the Adopt-A-Pilot curriculum on their own.

For more information check out the Southwest Airlines Adopt-A-Pilot website.

    Simply enter your details and you will be issued with your personal number. Then, whenever you book a flight online or through an agent always mention your frequent flyer number so that the reward miles can be credited to your account. This is beneficial for regular travellers. thy uçak bileti

Career Café is an opportunity for students to learn about careers from individuals in their community.  One of my biggest success as a school counselor  has been s tarting a Career Café at my school. Students absolutely love Career Café, it is a blast to host, and it meets  ASCA Student Standard in the Career Domain .   Career Cafe can also be geared toward any level - elementary, middle, or high school! I have gotten tons of inquiries and questions about hosting a Career Café. I am creating a series of posts to explain Career Café in greater detail and provide you with the tools you need to start a Career Café at your school.    There are a number of ways that you can determine how students are selected to participate in Career Café.

College and Career Ready Bulletin Board

I created a bulletin board to showcase vocabulary related to college and career readiness! My "College and Career Ready!" bulletin board is in the 7th and 8th grade hallway. I plan to make a duplicate of this board for the 5th and 6th grade hallway. I want students to see the words to begin a dialogue about what it means to be "College and Career Ready."  Some of the words I chose include punctuality, effort, dependability, attitude, and responsibility. I used vocabulary that students should know by 5th and 8th grade in the Pennsylvania Career and Work Standards.   I made a pdf and doc version on google docs!  Bulletin Board How To The Graduation Cap To make the graduation cap I cut a large square out of  black roll paper . I then cut out two curved triangles to make the bottom part of the graduation cap. I cut a small circle out of the black roll paper for the button on the cap. I used strips of  white construction paper  for the tasse
