Hewitt Career Center Reservation Information for 2007-2008

To: Waukegan High School Staff

We would like to thank all the teachers who participated in the Hewitt Career Center's first four months of operation. Over 1,000 students completed their career portfolios during the last semester. In order to meet the projected growth in the amount and quality of services at the center, the following plan will be in effect for the 2004- 2005 school year:

• Reservation for presentation, or any activities will be scheduled on the first come first served basis.

• It is suggested that the teacher reserving the Hewitt Center for any service, kindly advise his or her students as to the nature of their visit to the center.

• It is also suggested that the teacher bringing his or her classes to the center meet with the Hewitt Center personnel before the scheduled visit to plan the most effective way to utilize the instructional time.

• We request the active participation of the class teacher throughout the time the students spend at the center.

• Teachers having a planned career activity or prepared lesson plan, should discuss it with the center to determine required service, AV equipment needs, and additional information needed.

• Teachers requesting a special presenter should submit the name and pertinent information about the presenter ahead of time so that planning process can be completed.

• To maximize your students learning experience, please incorporate your stated goals and objectives in your lesson plan

We have prepared additional information to reserve the use of the facility.

The Center has four areas that can be reserved:

• Computer Lab (12 computers)
• Classroom (40 person capacity)
