Mr. Lamoreau's Web Page
Hello, Success 101 Students!
​
We are living in challenging times! But we will get through them!
​
For the rest of the year, you will have two choices for completing our Success 101 class.
​
Option 1: If you have been assigned an online account with My10YearPlan, work on that account. There are 12 chapters. Work on the parts we have discussed in class. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me via email. Below you will find the links to My10YearPlan.com and OnetOnline.
​
Option 2: If you do not have an online account your project will be to work in your workbook which you will turn in at the end of the year. Again, I will be available Monday-Friday to answer your questions via email.
​
I will be checking in every week via email to see how you are doing. I can also arrange to be reached via phone.
​
Stay strong!
​
Most Sincerely,
Mr. Lamoreau

Success 101 Description and Course Outline
​
La Grande High School Teacher: John Lamoreau

​
Course Description: To meet the requirements of emerging adults, a freshman transition course must address a combination of personal/social, educational, and career and life skills.
​
PERSONAL SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
• Help students envision a future that is productive, achievable, and stimulating.
• Provide the framework for helping students learn to project into the future and understand the consequences of today’s choices and actions.
• Expose students to potential stumbling blocks that could impede their success and help them develop the necessary coping skills and attitudes required for a productive transition into adulthood.
• Help students become identity-achieved, a necessary developmental process for all adolescents, but particularly necessary for youth at risk of becoming teen parents, substance abusers, or dropouts.
• Provide practice in the communication and interpersonal skills required for career and personal success.
​
EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT
• Facilitate students’ recognition of the value of education and the importance of becoming internally motivated to succeed in school.
• Motivate learners and workers who challenge themselves and strive for higher achievement.
• Help students understand how education, training, and career choice impact their personal lifestyle.
• Motivate students to apply themselves, because once they understand how core subjects (e.g., reading, writing, speaking, and computing) impact their future success, academic achievement will increase.
​
CAREER AND LIFE SKILLS
• Teach a life and career planning “process,” so students can continually adjust their plans throughout their education and adult life.
• Help students become “career focused,” so every student is prepared to enter the workforce upon completion of their education.
• Facilitate the development of a personalized ten-year plan that matches each student’s career aspirations and commitment to education.
• Teach students the skills, aptitudes, and attitudes needed to successfully transition into high school, post-secondary education and/or training, the workforce, and adulthood.
