Mrs. Brown's Health Sciences level II students also updated their Stop the Bleed training. They have been immersed in a wide range of valuable learning experiences, particularly during the past five weeks of Co-Operative Education, where they visited various departments at Alice Peck Day Hospital. There, they shadowed healthcare professionals and explored numerous career pathways within the hospital system. The students have also been focusing on post-secondary planning, comparing colleges, creating resumes, and applying for their next educational steps.
In Ms. Johnson's Health Sciences level II class, students have been focusing on communication, leadership, and teamwork, as well as ethics and legal responsibilities. They also completed a Teen Mental Health First Aid training with the Hartford Community Coalition. These students have been engaging in Co-Ops in a variety of settings, including medical clinics, nursing homes, the VA, a funeral home, the fire department, and a therapeutic farm. Reflecting on their Co-Ops, discussing things they liked and didn't like, is a regular part of class and helps them to refine their career goals.
Students in both Health Sciences classes are working on a service project through HOSA, organizing a Teddy Bear Clinic for local elementary schools.
