In the Franklin Pierce School District, counselors and educators have created a model for teaching students the skills they need to chart their own course through middle school, high school, post-secondary education, and adult life. The system also provides students with an ongoing, personal relationship with an adult that lasts throughout middle school, and another that lasts throughout the four years of high school. It also keeps parents involved in the decisions their teens are making. These changes have had profound impact on the student motivation, and on students’ willingness to take on more challenging coursework.
Please keep in mind that the Navigation 101 program is a part of a larger K-12 comprehensive guidance program that is structured after the American School Counseling Association’s “National Model Framework for School Counseling Programs” and “Developing & Managing Your School Guidance Program”- Gysbers & Henderson
The Navigation 101 downloads on this web page are provided to assist school districts as they develop their model. We ask that you do not alter the Dr. Susan Quattrociocchi “Parent Tips” sheets.
