Lesson 3 2015

Advanced Challenge - Learning Express 1. A fourth-grader needs help with reading comprehension. What are 3 things you will show him on Learning Express? I would show the student how to get into Learning express and where to find the elementary section. Since the student is having trouble with reading comprehension I would point out the English Language Arts skills improvement and then the Informational Reading Practice and the Literature Reading Practice. Both have two practice sets for fourth grade.

2. A recent high school graduate has her eye on an office manager job, but she knows she needs to improve her skills before she applies. What do you recommend for her in Learning Express? I would have the graduate go to the Career Center and Build Your Workplace Skills. This section has multiple ways to help someone prepare for an office manager job. I would also encourage the person to check out the Preparing for WorkKeys Assessments. It is a ways for someone without work experience to show a potential employer they have taken a job skills assessment.

3. A high school student comes to you for help on his report on careers. He is interested in being either a nurse or a pharmacist someday. What do you show him on Learning Express? In the Careers Center there is a section for becoming a nurse which has everything a person might need to know.  I wasn't able to find pharmacist in the Learning Express. I did a general search for all areas and was able to find pharmacy technician but that was as close as I was able to come.
