Career Day

Over the past two years, Berkshire High School students have participated in Career Days in cooperation with the Geauga Growth Partnership and Great Lakes Cheese. This year, the seniors will spend the day at Kent State Geauga learning about the I-Sight Program.

I-Sight is a unique learning profile developed for young people from ages 12 to 18. Using the DiSC model, I-Sight creates positive self-awareness and understanding of others by helping young people recognize and accept behavioral differences. A four-page assessment uses easy-to-understand language to explore behavior across the four primary dimensions: D – direct and Active; i – interested and lively; S – steady and cooperative; and C – concerned and correct.

The school district is pleased to once again be working with the Geauga Growth Partnership on the I-Sight Program. Lori Gorrell of Upward Solutions and Berkshire teachers will be leading the students throughout the day.

Career Day will take place Nov. 11 from 8 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. at the Kent State Geauga campus. Breakfast, lunch and transportation will be provided.

A letter along with a permission slip has been mailed out to all senior class families. The signed copy should be returned to Mrs. Hull by Nov. 3.

Contact Superintendent Douglas J. DeLong with any questions.

Berkshire is looking forward to providing a unique learning experience for the students.
