Comparing options after high school: school support plan
Support focus
Compare two options after high school and check missing facts.
Example situation
A made-up student is interested in fixing equipment and working with others. The student wants to compare a paid training route and a college technical program. Costs, entry requirements, transport, and schedules have not been checked. A friend claims one route guarantees a job.
Student words or action
Compare schedules, entry rules, full costs, transport, and supports. A friend's job guarantee is not verified information.
Adult response
“Which question should we check first? We can leave unknown information marked unknown.”
A supported practice
A fictional training notice gives a length but no entry rules or cost details.
Which facts need checking before choosing?
An example response: Record the stated length and mark the other details unknown until checked with an official source.
A second practice
Two options have different meeting times. The student knows their available days.
Which facts need checking before choosing?
An example response: Compare the confirmed days first, then ask about missing support and access details.
