How Many Credits Do You Need Each Year?- Replay
1w ago00:20:28Tap to summarizeThis week on the Homeschool Highschool Podcast: How Many Credits Do You Need Each Year- Replay? How Many Credits Do You Need Each Year? If you have been wondering about how many credits your teens need to graduate, you are in the right place! What does it look like each year? Let’s talk about how many credits you need each year for homeschool graduation requirements and make it a bit more practical to understand and follow! Do you know how many credits your teens need to graduate each year? If not, it’s quite alright as we all know how confusing it can be to figure out the yearly breakdown, especially when we often focus on the overall number of credits needed for graduation. So let’s make it practical and dive into the details! Understanding State Requirements First things first, it’s important to meet the minimum credit requirements set by your state. Each state has its own set of credit requirements for high school graduation. While some homeschoolers choose not to follow state requirements, most of us do. If you are unsure about your state’s requirements, you can check your state department of Education or reach out to organizations like Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) or National Homeschool Advocacy for guidance. Typically, states require between seventeen and twenty-six credits, with the majority falling between twenty and twenty-four. If you are a member of HSLDA, you can also access this information through their resources. General Guidelines Although there’s not ONE right way to homeschooling high school, we have gathered some practical guidelines based on our experience raising our own high schoolers and advising others in our local community. Let’s talk about some of those guidelines now that have worked for us over the years. Keep in mind that these are not set in stone, and you should always do what is best for your teens. College-Bound Teens Let’s shift gears and talk about college-bound teens. In addition to meeting the state’s homeschool graduation requirements, college-preparation homeschoolers often need to go above and beyond. Colleges may look for a higher level of rigor or specific courses on the transcript, so it is a good idea to research the colleges your teens are interested in to see what they are looking for in incoming freshmen. This can help you determine if your teen needs additional credits or more challenging coursework. For example, some colleges may require three years of World Language, even if your state only requires two. They may also expect four years of Social Studies, Math, and Sciences, even if your state only requires three. It is important to tailor your teen’s transcript to meet these expectations and showcase their interests and strengths. (Here is more on what college-bound teens should be doing.) Some motivated teens may have the goal of graduating in three years instead of the standard four This is certainly achievable, but it requires careful planning and a heavier academic load. By dividing the total number of credits required by your state by three, your teen will need to earn more credits each year. They may need to double up on certain subjects or spread out credits over multiple years to meet their goals. Teens Bound For The Workforce If your teen is not-college bound and aims to enter the workforce after graduation, meeting the state requirements is usually sufficient. Divide the total number of credits required by your state by four to determine the number of credits needed per year. For example, if your state requires twenty credits, your teen would need five credits per year. In states with higher requirements, such as twenty-four credits, your teen would need six credits per year. If you are unsure whether your teen will be headed towards college or go straight into the workforce, sit down with them to have a serious discussion about their future. If you still cannot come up without a clear path, try some Career Exploration. Another class or two never hurt anybody, and they may be grateful for that if they do decide to go to college! Regardless of the career path your teen chooses, certain subjects are typically required by most states. These include: Language Arts Mathematics History/Social Studies (such as American History, World History, Civics, and Economics) Social Sciences Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, and other elective Sciences). Some states may have additiona. requirements, such as: World Language Physical Education/Fitness Health<...

Emotionally Preparing Teens for College with Natalie Mack Navigating the journey from high school to college can be both exhilarating and daunting for you and your teen. It’s not just about ensuring they have the academic skills to thrive in higher education, but also preparing them emotionally and socially for the whirlwind of new experiences that college life brings. As a seasoned homeschool parent, you have likely guided your children through many transitions, and now it’s time to tackle this significant milestone. Join our friend and 7Sister Cousin Natalie Mack to discuss what it takes to set your teen up for success. Natalie is a homeschool mom who has graduated four with one in his senior year of homeschooling. She is also a figurehead in the military homeschooling community. Preparing Your Child For College From cultivating independent learning habits and managing time effectively to fostering emotional resilience and navigating the diverse social landscape of a college campus, there’s a lot to cover to prepare your teens for college success. How can you equip your teen to not just survive but to thrive in their college journey? Every homeschool high schooler is different. However, we have found these tips help them be ready for college. Academic Preparation First, let’s talk about academic preparation. You have already done a fantastic job homeschooling your teen, tailoring their education to fit their unique needs and interests. Now it’s time to shift gears and focus on developing independent learning skills. Encourage your teen to take ownership of their studies by including them in high school planning and their own goals. One practical tip is to introduce them to planners or digital calendars where they can track assignment deadlines, test dates, and study schedules. This helps them stay organized while also instilling a sense of responsibility. Incorporate College-Level Work Next, consider incorporating some college-level coursework into their high school curriculum. This could be through dual enrollment programs at local community colleges or online courses that offer college credit. These experiences provide a taste of the rigor and expectations of college academics and can boost your teen’s confidence as they transition to higher education. You can also familiarize your teen with the types of exams they might encounter in college. Practice timed tests can be a great way by building their test-taking stamina and reducing anxiety. But preparing for college is not just about academics. Emotional readiness is equally crucial. What Emotionally Preparing Teens For College Looks Like College life can be a significant adjustment, with new social dynamics and increased independence. For emotionally preparing teens for college, talk to them about the importance of self-care and managing stress. Encourage them to explore mindfulness techniques or relaxation exercises that can help them stay grounded during stressful times. It’s also beneficial to discuss potential challenges they might face, such as homesickness or the pressure of meeting new people, and brainstorm coping strategies together. Your teen will meet a diverse array of individuals from various backgrounds and walks of life in college. This exposure can be enriching but also overwhelming at times. Help your teen develop strong communication skills and a growth mindset. Encourage them to be curious, ask questions, and engage with people who have different perspectives. Remind them that it’s okay to feel out of place initially; finding friends takes time. Making themselves available helps. For instance, keeping their dorm room door open when they are around is a simple yet effective way to foster connections. Help Your Teen Learn How To “Schedule Backwards” One practical piece of advice is to practice “scheduling backwards.” When your teen gets their syllabus at the beginning of the semester, have them mark all the major due dates for exams, papers, and projects in their planner. Then, help them work backwards from these dates to schedule regular study sessions and check-ins. This proactive approach can prevent last-minute cramming and reduce stress. Practical Life Skills In addition to academic and emotionally preparing teens for college, it is essential to equip your teen with practical life skills. Make sure they know: How to manage their finances, including budgeting, understanding credit, and balancing a checkbook Basic cooking skills are also invaluable, especially if they will be living off-campus or in dorms without meal plans Teach them how to do their laundry Navigate public transportation Handle minor medical issues These skills will contribute to their overall confidence and independence. <span styl...

3w ago00:25:59Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Senior Summer Checklist with CJ. Senior Summer Checklist with CJ Do you have a rising senior on the horizon? If so, you probably feel the pressure of this eventful time. That’s why we asked our friend, CJ from Homeschool Through High School, to join us. She is walking the walk with her own homeschooling high schoolers. CJ’s story CJ has been homeschooling for a long time. She says she never thought she would get this far, but at the time of our interview, she had three high schoolers: a ninth grader, a tenth grader, and a rising senior. CJ has found that: Homeschooling high school is an adventure and a blessing. As she has been facing having a senior in the fall, she developed an unusual checklist for that summer of senior year. There is so much to do during senior year. However, we want to remember important things beyond academics. With that in mind, CJ has developed a checklist that is a little unconventional. First, you want to make sure that: You are up to date with your transcripts and testing scores Your teen has at least started the process for colleges, trade school- … gap year, missionary work, whatever we’re gonna do next However, CJ’s checklist is different. It includes things for your senior to pursue the summer before their senior year starts, along with family goals CJ’s checklist for senior summer These activities and goals will help your senior and your family be well prepared for that final year of homeschooling high school. Just relax and have fun Including some reasonable level of video games Reading non-school-related books Go swimming Watch the sun setting, noting the different colors in the sky Sleep in … can we just have them sleep in and be? If they want to cook pancakes every day for lunch, so be it Just let them be because this journey is going to go by so fast. Society has us throwing them out into the real world. And as homeschoolers, we don’t need to do that. There is going to be a shift, but they need time just to relax and be teens. Why is this important? A healthy life cannot only be serious. If we are always telling our rising seniors, “Oh my goodness, we gotta get the transcript read,” or “We’ve gotta go visit 14 colleges,” they may not have time or energy for personal growth and energy restoration. Teens (and adults) need some fun to be healthy. More on the senior summer checklist Ready for more ideas? Prepare them for “the question”! CJ tells the story of attending a gathering, where her 11th-grader was bombarded with the question, “What are you gonna do after you graduate?” There was so much pressure! She learned then to prep them with an answer that they feel confident with, even if that answer is, “I’m just gonna enjoy my junior year, my senior year, and I know everything is going to fall into place. I’m just gonna have fun right now.” Take “the photo” on the first day of senior year Senior photos are important as gifts for grandparents and friends. It takes stress off the senior year to get it done on the first day of school, on his last day of high school. Cover the life skills necessary for after graduation What do you want your kids to learn that is not in a textbook? Learn to hold their head high When CJ’s teens leave home for anything, such as a youth group, shopping at the mall, or hanging out with friends, she wants them to remember their character and their faith Remember their last name, and make sure they represent well And teens need to know that some of the ways that we carry ourselves, the things we do to honor our family heritage and tradition Go back-to-school shopping Remember this year’s back-to-school shopping because the next stage could be moving out, college dorm, trips around the world for traveling, or missionary work Plan simple family activities Think about simple day trips or pajama nights with all the siblings. Create memories of the family having fun together. Find a mentor, if possible It is good for teens to have someone outside the family to bounce some ideas off. It does not have to be anything structured. It might be someone they can play basketball with or go out for a hamburger. Encourage volunteering Volunteering is good for our teens for many reasons. It’s great for the teen and the community. It’s great for your mind and soul. God created us to serve others, and it’s a blessing. (Also, it looks good on scholarship applications. ) Encourage your senior if they’d like to, to write a letter to their future selves Then, they can read it on graduation day. They can see how they grew over their senior year, or they can just read the letter for fun. Moms, remember: Senior year is not an ending. It is a beginning!

Apr 1400:15:53Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Resources for the Homeschool Curious with Morgan. Resources for the Homeschool Curious with Morgan Welcome to the newest podcast on the network. We are so excited to talk to Morgan about Homeschool Curious! How Morgan became homeschool curious We talked to Morgan when she was pregnant with her fourth boy. Her oldest was five years old, so they started homeschooling not long ago. Morgan is what she would call a homeschool curious mom. As her sons became closer to school age, she began thinking about traditional school. She would visualize them sitting behind a desk for hours a day and that did not feel like the right fit for her and her family. So, a couple of years ago, she became homeschool curious. Neither Morgan nor her husband had been homeschooled. They both went to traditional schools growing up. She enjoyed her full-time working mom lifestyle. However, when she had two boys and pregnant with my third, it hit me that all her sons were very young. She would be paying to put all three of my boys in daycare in order to go to work. Something needed to change. Morgan and her husband decided that it was a good idea to stop her career and stay home with the boys. It was a very big transition because she had always thought she would work full-time. After all, she loved her job. She climbed that corporate ladder for about thirteen years. It was a big transition Although it was a big transition, Morgan and her husband quickly realized they were wise to follow what their hearts were telling them. They have not regretted the choice. The Homeschool Curious Podcast is born Morgan wanted to help other newbie homeschoolers connect with resources so she created the BaseCampEd app. Soon, our fellow podcaster, Melanie Wilson, of the Homeschool Sanity Podcast heard about Morgan’s resource and invited her on that podcast. Melanie felt that Morgan should meet Felice, the president of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network (and host of Vintage Homeschool Moms Podcast). Felice soon asked her to start a podcast for new homeschooling parents. It was a perfect fit. On Homeschool Curious Podcast, Morgan helps novice homeschool parents understand the process and resources for homeschooling. BaseCamp Ed App BaseCamp Ed was born during their early days in homeschooling. Morgan wished there was a Zillow where she could pull up a map of her area, find homeschool families, and connect one-on-one. Base Camp Ed helps people to find other homeschooling families and resources. When a homeschooling family wants to connect with other homeschooling families, they can type their zip code in and then find the other homeschoolers and activities in their area. How does it work? After the parents download the app, they set up a profile to find other homeschooling families. There are a few questions to answer, such as the age range of your children and your family’s interests. It’s like virtual online dating, kind of, but not that. Basecamp Ed can be found on both the Android and the iPhone App Stores. So, if you are new to homeschooling, check out the Homeschool Curious podcast, along with the BaseCamp Ed app! Morgan will help you find the resources to get started!

Transcribe →Helping Teens Handle Procrastination- Special Replay
Apr 700:18:40Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Helping Teens Handle Procrastination-Special Replay. Helping Teens Handle Procrastination Putting things off, especially things you don’t want to do, is a human thing. We all tend to do that. Sometimes for teens, because they have less experience in life, procrastination is one of the hardest things to conquer. Here are some tools for helping teens handle procrastination that you can share with them. Understand Why Teens Procrastinate The first thing teens need to know when they are procrastinating is that it really is part of the human condition. It is one of the parts of the human condition that we have to develop tools to conquer, though. Honestly, wouldn’t you rather just do nothing if you could? Or just entertain yourself all the time without doing other obligations? Sure, we all would, but that doesn’t make us happy in the end. And neither does procrastination. When you sit down and talk it through with your teen, usually when they are procrastinating, they actually feel worse at the end of the day than they did at the beginning of the day. That is because those things that need to get done just sit there in the back of their head trying to hide. As the neglected task is eating at their consciousness, their anxiety levels are going up. Skills To Help Teens Handle Procrastination When you see your teen procrastinating, sit down and talk with them about what they are procrastinating on. It could be math lessons or research papers or cleaning up their bedrooms – whatever… Once you have them talking about it, see if it is really procrastination at play here or if there is something else going on. It is a common thing for teenagers is to experience bouts of anxiety or depressive episodes. This is difficult for teens because they have no experience with handling those kinds of things. In these cases, procrastination is not really procrastination but stuckness caused by the tough emotions. When the problem is anxiety or depression For a teen, anxiety or depression can look like: Just sitting around like a lump their body may feel heavy, like their arms and legs are heavy and it is hard to move. Not being able to concentrate on anything Or feeling flat or miserable or hopeless Feeling like they cannot do anything. There are many different causes for anxiety or depression: Sometimes the mood is depressed or anxious Other times their hormones got off track Or perhaps they are experiencing a long-term stressor like a pandemic or other tragedy Sometimes getting in a big fight with their best friend can cause anxiety or depression It does not have to look like they are crying all day. In fact, it often does not. When teens feel depressed or anxious, they cannot focus on their work very successfully (unless it is really easy academics). But it is hard for them to handle more difficult things, those things that take a lot of concentration or they don’t really like too much. If your teen is experiencing anxiety or depression, have a gentle discussion about it with them. Then talk to the family doctor regarding what to do about it. See if they can connect you with a counselor. When teens get a few tools for recognizing what’s going on and managing these kinds of issues, they feel so much better about it. They will regain their energy to be successful at their schoolwork as well as the harder things in life. Tools for helping teens handle procrastination On the other hand, it is not uncommon for teens to actually be procrastinating for procrastination’s sake. In this case, try these tips. Eliminate Distractions Sometimes the procrastination is actually the teen feeling distracted. When distraction is happening: Sometimes it is caused by addiction to notifications. This is a universal problem these days where there are always these notifications going on for our teens (or us moms). Honest to goodness, if you could get your teen sit down and turn off notifications during the school day, where the constant sounds disrupting their thought patterns, your teen will have more neural energy and more thinking power to do the things that are not so exciting. Other times, the distraction is caused by having too many tabs open on the computer. Close unused tabs and see what happens. Sometimes they are distracted by something they are powerfully interested in. They would rather do some gaming or go bake a batch of cookies. Those distractions of things they would really rather do are calling to them. In cases like these, that’s a discussion for self-discipline. Those other interests are great, wonderful things to do. But let them understand that they can do them after four o’clock in the afternoon or in the evening or whenever school is over. Work on it together with your teen and come to an agreement. Try this: Help them list their next-day’s priorities each night before bedtime. (It is really hip these days for teens to literally write those priorities on a white board.) Practice Delayed Gratification One of the definitions of maturity is the ability to delay gratification. The ability to wait to do what they really want to do is a good life skill. Help teens reward themselves when they finish their daily priorities. (Have the write the reward on their white board, so they can really celebrate when they accomplish their priorities.) Help With Feelings of Overwhelm Many times, teens will feel overwhelmed. For They do not know where to even begin. You know they are feeling overwhelmed if you hear them complaining about their schoolwork or see them simply staring at a blank page. When you see your teen doing this, tell your teen to just close their eyes and scribble (or type) the letter R over and over again. Once that page is not blank anymore, things start to happen. The words start to flow, and the terror of the blank page or the blank screen is not so scary anymore. And just the act of doing some kind of writing will help your teen get started. Knowing What’s Next Another thing that helps teens get over procrastination is knowing what to do next. According to research, it was discovered that when people know what they are going to do the next day before they go to bed, they will be less likely to procrastinate the next day. For this, one thing that helps is to get a whiteboard and colored markers. Then have your teen write down what their tasks are for the next day every night at bedtime as well as the tasks they will be doing. For some reason, research shows that they are more likely to actually do those things that are written down (versus waking up and then deciding what to do without a plan). Having the paper or schedule in a colorful form or on a whiteboard they are going to do the next day really helps conquer some of the procrastination tendencies.

Mar 3100:33:33Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Career Exploration for Teens Who Don’t Have a Clue- Special Replay. Career Exploration for Teens Who Don’t Have a Clue “SO, what are you going to do after graduation?” That’s the dreaded question for many teens. They simply don’t have a clue what they want to do. How do you help a teen find direction in life? How do you help them get to know themselves or get to know God’s leading? For teens who know they do not want to go to college but do not have a clue what they want to do Many teens do not have any idea what they want to do after graduation. That is okay. They do not need to know everything about the future during high school. However, it is wise to help them explore. Here are some ideas: Give them rich experiences Many times teens do not know what they want to do because they have not experienced it yet. One kind of rich experience is field trips. Hey, the good thing about homeschooling is that we homeschool moms tend to value field trips (although sometimes at high school level, it is harder to squeeze them in to our teens’ busy schedules). However, if you create a Career Exploration elective credit for their transcript, you can log many field trips towards that credit. That is because, any trip gives a little more life experience. Any life experience helps build the ability to make decisions- especially career decisions. For instance: ranger-led nature walks at state parks, cooking demonstrations at special events, car shows or museum exhibits. Sometimes, a teen will get inspired by a watching the person in charge of whatever event they are experiencing. They think: “Hmmm, this might be a cool job!” Or, on the other hand, they might think, “Ugh, I would NEVER want to do that!” Either way is valuable career exploration. Show them role models Movies based on careers Biographies of interesting jobs FB Watches or YouTubes about interesting jobs Volunteer work Teens need to do volunteer work. It is good for transcript and the soul. Service work is SO important for personal knowledge and development, as well as making the world a better place. Some volunteer opportunities our teens have done: Church (worship, set up, digital team, nursery, office) Digital volunteer opportunities Food bank State park volunteer events Library volunteers For teens, whether they have a clue about career or not, try a career exploration course A good career exploration course is very helpful. For non-college-bound teens, 7SistersHomeschool has a simple Career Exploration Textbook. Even if you choose something else, think about looking for curriculum that includes (like our workbook): What is God’s will? Teens who are believers sometimes feel anxious about choosing a career that will please God. A good curriculum helps them trust God to direct their paths. Past experiences What have teens already done that help them find strengths or interests What other people see in them Get some feedback from people who know them Can they identify interests? IF the power went out for the day, what would you do for fun? If you had a day to yourself with no chores or schoolwork, what would you do? Define career values Career values help teens choose a career field by defining what is important to them: Work hours, desire for involvement in things after work, level of income desired, etc. (Rabbit trail, all teens will benefit from taking a Financial Literacy course that helps them understand and plan for financial responsibilities coming their way in adulthood.) Explore careers Check out career descriptions and information at CareerOneStop.org. Join a club or interest group Sometimes a group experience will help them explore an interest or strength, network or lead to the next interesting experience. Even if it does not turn out to be fun, no experience is wasted. All experiences are growth, one way or the other. Try some apprenticeships We cannot recommend this enough. See if you can help your teen find something that can count as apprenticeship. Be sure to log everything! Those Career Exploration electives are SO valuable and look great on the transcript!

Mar 1700:28:28Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Homeschooler Becomes a Veterinarian, with Dr. Sarah Varnell, Special Replay. Homeschooler Becomes a Veterinarian, with Dr. Sarah Varnell Dr. Sarah Varnell is a veterinarian near Cincinnati, OH. Homeschooled through high school, Sarah studies zoology at the undergraduate level, went to veterinarian school, and now specializes in equine medicine: a homeschooler becomes a veterinarian! How did Sarah handle her time in high school so that she was college-ready for a science like zoology? Academics for Sarah were heavy in the maths and sciences, both textbook-wise but also hands-on! Dr. Sarah Varnell. Photo used with permission. Heavy Sciences on the transcript, completed at honors level: Biology in 8th grade Zoology Chemistry Advanced Chemistry Physics Volunteering, MANY hours: Horse rescue Brandywine Zoo (snake handler who walked around the zoo carrying a snake for visitors to meet) Teaching at a Christian summer camp that specializes in horses (she was also a camper there when she was a child) Shadowing, MANY hours: Small animal veterinarian (this steered her away from small animals because Sarah likes being out and about, not stuck inside) Noticing and developing interests and loves: Being in the outdoors Being around large animals Through college, her networking and shadowing helped guide her in her studies but it took time to clarify that she wanted to be a field veterinarian. She connected to an equine vet (through a homeschool family that she babysat for- nothing like networking!) and spend many hour shadowing For college success, Sarah learned to: Look forward to necessary courses and kept in touch with college advisor for advice on specialized and extra courses she needed to take. (Sarah needed some specialized courses that most zoology undergraduates did not need.) Visit her professors often during office hours. Sarah chose a small, Christian college (Malone College) for her undergraduate degree. When choosing her college, she made these a priority: Small college, so she could know her professors and advisor well Good college advisors that are interested in the success of their advisees Opportunities for networking and exploration/volunteering/shadowing Of all the vet schools in the nation, Sarah applied to the best vet school in the nation: University of California. She chose her graduate program by applying to the average number of programs, not choosing University of Delaware (her local college) since it had no vet program and few opportunities with their reciprocal programs at other schools. Rather, she chose to other nearby colleges and the vet school that her veterinarian of her childhood cats. After applying, she flew to California for interviews and tours of campus. She liked the way their program was organized. AND it was December with NO snow! She rocked her interviews. How did she do that? Beginning in 8th grade and all through high school, she was a member of the homeschool rhetoric team, so was comfortable speaking. This is the curriculum that Sarah’s rhetoric league used. She was also involved in her college forensics team (public speaking), where she specialized in 5-minute impromptu speeches. At UC, the interviews were MMI format (Multiple Mini Interviews), which are 5-minute impromptu speeches in a sort of speed dating format. She did so well that she was accepted into the program. Sarah’s advice for homeschoolers thinking about college? Make sure you avail yourself of advisors and professors. Network, network, network! Keep a class listing of what you will need. Keep an eye on when courses are offered (some courses are only offered periodically). At the University of California, Sarah learned: At the end of every lead rope there is a human. So soft skills and speaking skills are important. Sarah began her skills in her homeschooling high school years. Today, Dr. Varnell is treating horses out on the road and in the clinic where she works. Just like James Herriot of All Creatures Great and Small, she’s out in the field with people and horses. Here’s a free resource for helping teens choose a college major. Join Vicki and Dr. Sarah Varnell to find out how a homeschooler becomes a veterinarian.

Transcribe →First Resume for Your Teen’s First Job
Mar 1000:18:04Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool High School Podcast: First Resume for Your Teen’s First Job. First Resume for Your Teen’s First Job Many teens look for a first job sometime during their homeschool high school years. I have found that a good way to get the job-hunt process started is to help them develop their first resume. When I tell teens that we are starting with developing their first resume, they sometimes reply, “How can I have a resume? I’ve never had a job?” It is hard to have a resume showing your jobs if you have never had a job, and that is very true. However, our teens, by and large, have lots of resume-worthy experiences. Our high schoolers generally have: done volunteer work been involved in community organizations participated in sports and/or the arts served at church and the homeschool community All of those things are experiences that demonstrate that they can do things that are attractive to an employer, such as: teamwork responsibility drive. We can help our teens capture these activities on an experiential resume. This is not a job resume because they have not had a job. However, an experiential resume us useful and valid to show what kind of person your teen is. An experiential resume Let’s take a look at an experiential resume sample. (BTW- You can download a guide to help your teen develop their own experiential resume at 7SistersHomeschool.com) The experiential resume captures your teen’s experiences rather than jobs. Remember, these experiences tell potential employers about your teen’s work ethic and character. The resume includes: Student’s name Contact information (address, phone number, email) Skills section emphasize teamwork computer skills speaking and writing skills time management skills second languages spoken (check out our interviews with Karim Morato for ideas for learning Spanish, such as 5 Tips for Making Learning Spanish Fun) Experiences Use a bullet-point format and list The experience, contact or location information “Job title”/what they did Dates (nice but not 100% necessary) List of tasks, accomplishments, or interesting experiences Education List the homeschool or umbrella school’s name or simply write “homeschool” and projected graduation year Achievements and awards This section is optional References List two people as references Give their job title or connection to you Add their email and phone number You can decide to simply write, “References provided upon request” Have your teen ask the potential reference if they would be able to be called upon by the “powers that be” Teens should ask permission before listing a person as a reference. Be sure your teen alerts the references to expect a call from the interviewers. Tips: Keep experiential resumes to one page Avoid using the word “I” Use bullet points BTW- 7Sisters Career Exploration textbook contains (note that it includes Successful Experiential Resume Writing): Step by Step Through Career Exploration (providing a basic checklist of steps for you to follow) Career Exploration Questionnaire Career Exploration Workbook (31 pages) Successful Experiential Resume Writing (to create a resume that captures worthwhile experiences BEFORE that first paying job) Successful Cover Letters (a first impression is SO important) Introductory Interview Skills for Teens (a practical and empowering 9-page resource) Writing Your Personal Mission Statement (14 page workbook) Career Exploration in the Bible (a fun look at David, Joseph, Mary…and yourself!) Collected Posts on Career Exploration from 7Sisters’ extensive blog post archive Collected Posts on Financial Literacy (an important part of preparation for adulthood) Click image for full description. For more help with the job hunt, check out this episode of Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Job Hunting Skills for Homeschool High Schoolers. Fun tips about experiential resumes Your teen’s experiential resume is good for more than just a job application! Keep a copy for their portfolio (count it as a writing assignment). Include it as part of your teen’s Career Exploration course (In fact, the Experiential Resume Guide is included in 7Sisters Career Exploration download. For those in states that reimburse for curriculum, 7Sisters has a version of Career Exploration that meets the requirements for reimbursement.) Get your teen busy working on an experiential resume as their first resume for their first job! Note: We could sure use some new reviews on your podcast platform.
