PowerPoint Presentations, with or without counselor workload introduction, the PowerPoint scripts which can be used as a newsletter or blog, and Videos of these presentations are below for PARENT EDUCATION. Counselors have a huge workload and duty to students which leaves little time to bring parents up to speed on changes, high school opportunities, offerings and future planning.
These are presentations to be sent to or presented to parents to ease counselor workload and achieve
buy-in from parents
The Introduction can be used or dropped -- the intro catalogs counselor duties to students, leaving little time for parent education. It can be fast-forwarded to make a serious point humorously in a presentation so parents see the enormous counselor workload.
Videos with movie clips and narration available in January

A student-centered approach to high school, academic and career planning is the direction national, state and local departments of education working with higher education and industry and business to solve the employee shortage in high-paid growth jobs.
The world of college leading to a lifetime job is in the past. The Technology Age is a gig economy (contract work, like a musician playing a different bar weekly), agile structure within companies to keep up with fast changing innovation, and a lifetime of learning targeted to innovate.
The 'pre-med' high schooler would do better in a medical career course, shadowing doctors, doing rounds, than an AP class in history. Or the coder can start with Lockheed Martin's drone program in the VR department in high school and keep upskilling for that degree (if that bachelor's is the goal.) The coder getting the Bachelors risks not getting the job. It is a different world. 21st Century skills are a starting point.
Below are how departments of education, think tanks and industry see 21st Century Skills.
