I shared the presentation with students via email. Additionally, I met with our school guidance counselor to have the PaCE Student Checklist included on our school website under Counselor’s Corner. This Corner of the website provides endless amounts of post-high school planning, amongst other things. I also shared my presentation with a staff member who teaches college and career readiness within our school!

We created a presentation to share with the Career & Equity Council (CEC), an advocacy group that Emily founded last year. We created the presentation as a resource and sent it out through CEC as a resource for students to utilize. We’re also going to be meeting with our district’s director of career development to discuss ways to better incorporate the PaCE checklist into students’ academic journeys.

My counselor will be introducing the tool during upcoming one-to-one counseling sessions with upperclassmen. They plan to discuss its benefits and applications, potentially incorporating it into various guidance and advisory sessions with the students in the future. Additionally, they may share it through digital means, such as email or online resources, to ensure wider accessibility.
