Welcome Back & CDC News


So grateful to be back at Carroll Magnet Middle full time...last year I served two schools as a new Career Development Coordinator.  Served as a School Counselor at all educational levels K-12 for 12 years, the last three at Carroll...so this is my 5th year serving our middle school.  This year I am continuing as a CDC, Career Counselor and teaching three elective classes of Career Decisions, 6th, 7th & 8th grades.  Career Decisions helps students explore who they are, their interests, values, personality and how those match different careers.  We will continue to have Career Cafe monthly, and will be in my classroom, since my room is across from our school cafe!  Our Business Alliance will meet quarterly, so grateful for our amazing Volunteers.  Our Mentoring program is kicking off October 13th, in a new collaboration between Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Triangle, Captrust, and Carroll, 15 students who will job shadow on site with a Captrust professional twice monthly.  Our own mentoring program will continue with Mentors who worked with our 6th and 7th grade students last year and our new 6th grade students who need a Mentor, will be matched as we have new Volunteers sign up.  I am also setting up Guest Speakers for our classrooms all over our school, and Off Site Learning Experiences, formerly known as field trips!  I will be advising a new Club at Carroll, FCCLA, Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America.  http://www.FCCLAinc.org
