II. Motivation (15 minutes) The Senior High Career Party Note to the Teacher: Prepare music or song for this activity. Procedure 1. Arrange the chairs on the sides so that space will be maximized for the activities. 2. Tell the learners to dance as the music plays. (If there is no music to be played, ask the learners to sing any song that everybody can relate.) 3. Tell the learners that as the music stops they will have to find a partner on the dance floor. Emphasize that it will provide them a chance to share their interests and experiences in senior high school with others in the group. 4. Stop the music and ask the learners to share with their partner what is asked in the first sharing. The music will continue after the first sharing and the learners will find another partner for the second up to the fourth sharing. a. First sharing: What are your goals after Senior High School? b. Second sharing: What are your interests that served as your basis in choosing your current SHS track? c. Third sharing: What are your memorable experiences in SHS? d. Fourth sharing: What curriculum exit do you plan to go after senior high school? Processing Questions: 1. How did you find the “Senior High Career Party”? 2. What did you feel while sharing your goals, interests, experiences, and chosen curriculum exit in SHS?

III. Main Activity (50 minutes) Activity: Golden Doors Note to the Teacher: Before the activity, prepare the “Golden Doors” (made up of art or recycled materials) and Gallery of Careers (showing the results of NCAE). See Appendices 2 and 3 for the materials to use in the activity. Procedure 1.

Behind the Golden Doors, they will find different worksheets (which symbolizes opportunities they can grab as they enter any curriculum exit). They will have to accomplish what the got behind the Golden Doors. 10. Ask the learners to do small group sharing with other learners who chose the same door they have chosen. 11.

What occupational interest will you consider in choosing a curriculum exit? 3.

IV. Lecturette (15 minutes) In order to guide the conduct of career guidance at the school level and to ensure the development of skills and competencies required in the world of work, the Department of Education has been conducting career assessment to Grade 9 students through the National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE). The NCAE aims to provide guidance to individual learners for their future educational and career choices. It also provides the basis for profiling learners’ aptitude in the four Senior High School tracks. There are three domains measured in the NCAE. These are the General Scholastic Aptitude (GSA), Occupational Interest Inventory (OII), and Aptitude for Senior High School Tracks. The GSA measures the learner’s reading comprehension and scientific, verbal, mathematical, and logical reasoning ability. The OII is a checklist of occupational interests that provides an assessment of inclinations or preferences for comprehensive career guidance. The Aptitude for SHS Tracks determines the learner’s inherent capacity to succeed in the SHS tracks. A profile chart of the students’ occupational inclinations and preferences through the identified cluster occupations is provided in the results of the NCAE. The test is being administered to all Grade 9 learners who are currently enrolled in public and private schools with government permit or recognition. Moreover, learners with special needs may also be assessed provided that test accommodations are met. (as per DepEd Order No. 55, s. 2016 Sec. 9) Module 1

Helping people make career decisions have been fundamental to counseling psychology since its emergence as a profession, and it continues to be central to its identity today (Gelso & Fretz, 2001, as cited in Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2010). After acquiring all the knowledge, skills, and attitude and being aware of their interests and personality types, Grade 12 learners will now choose the curriculum exit they will pursue after senior high school. Grade 12 learners may choose to work immediately since they are of legal age and have the competencies to perform a specific job, or to pursue a business they can start to earn money. They may also proceed to higher education and pursue a degree course or take up any Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) courses for middle-level skills development. Employment. Any senior high school graduate who plans to work after senior high school can check with the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) in their locality for possible job vacancies, or they can browse in the Department of Labor and Employment website, www.ble.dole.gov.ph for possible local employment. Entrepreneurship. Senior high school graduates who plan to pursue the entrepreneurship exit will have to consider many things. They have to be cautious lest they end up losing money invested in the business. The Philippine Business Industry (as cited in http://www.biznewsph.com/p/business-ideas-in-philippines.html, 2012) has come up with a list of ideas where prospective entrepreneurs can start and grow their own business in the Philippines. (See Appendix 3: List of Business Ideas in the Philippines.)

Higher Education. Senior High School graduates who would want to pursue a degree course in higher education may directly inquire at any colleges and universities in their area. They may also inquire at www.ched.gov.ph, the official website of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) for the recognized programs of schools per region. Middle-Level Skills Development. Senior high school learners who may want to pursue middle-level skills development after finishing a specific track and strand in senior high school may inquire at their local TESDA offices for the courses offered in their locality. Those who went to Technical Vocational Livelihood Track and earned a National Certification Level II may apply for a higher level of national certification if they opt to. Senior high school graduates may go to any curriculum exit regardless of the SHS track they took. If a learner took up a TVL Track, he/she can still enroll in college to pursue higher education. Moreover, after entering a specific exit, any SHS graduate may proceed to another exit. For example, a graduate who chooses to pursue higher education and gets employed after graduation may enter into a business or pursue middle-level skills development while employed. Nonetheless, whatever curriculum exit senior high school graduates pursue is their own decision. They only have to maximize their talents and resources in order to be successful. As what author and speaker Mack R. Douglas said, “You are responsible for everything you do.” Module 1
