​Choosing Education Goals

By Brenda Baker

​Lesson 2 - Educational Performance

Purpose of this lesson

To identify high school graduation requirements and to introduce the educational performance indicators that post-secondary institutions use as admission requirements.

We talked about setting goals and how your education goals relate to your job and lifestyle, and why it is important to know your interests when setting goals for yourself.

Previous lesson

​You identified the subjects you like and why

Which subjects did you rate high and why?

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just take the classes we like in order to graduate?

There are a number of credits you have to have in specific areas but sometimes you have a choice within the area.

Today we are going to look at the credits you need to graduate and discuss some requirements you need to meet to attend different programs after high school.

​

​Today's Lesson

The next slide will give examples of graduation requirements in some Pennsylvania high schools.

In all schools across the country, certain requirements have to be met before you can graduate.

These requirements may not be the same in every state or even every district within the same city.
