(Describe ALL info. that might be important for your paper. Explain to the reader and/or summarize what might be found in this source)
Within the reading of College and Career Academy in Cumming, there are explanations for the reasoning's behind opening a College and Career Academy and how it can change the focus of a student's education. With the information, such as the statistics on the amount of open jobs in workplaces that aren't being taken, I can help support my claims in my summary. I can also use the explanations that are within the article to help explain to my audience, when creating my capstone, what the school is and how it is going to affect student's education. This article can help set my summary up and get a head start to what I want my message in my capstone to be when it gets down to the end of it. If I can start out broader by using this article, just using basic explanations of what this is and how it will affect kids, the next annotated bibliography I can begin going deeper into detail. I can also use quotes from the section, "Why does Forsyth need this," to start my summary out with a strong hook to why we need to create this school before going into detail with all of my facts and statistics.
Potential Quotes:
(Are there any significant quotes you can use or paraphrase from this source?)
“most successful school districts in the United States implement a model that includes a variety of career academies, along with a central facility [that] focuses on advanced CTAE programming.”
“The Department of Labor has statistics on thousands of jobs that are available in the state of Georgia right now, that are high-wage jobs that they can’t fill because they can’t find people with the certification,” he said. “Most of the manufacturing companies will tell you today that industry certification even trumps a college education.”
Assessment:
(Analyze and explain why this source is credible)
This source is credible, because it is coming from the Forsyth News, and within the article there are direct quotes from Dr. Bearden, (Forysth County's Super Intendent) when giving a speech about it at a meeting.
Reflection:
(How will you potentially use it?)
I will use this article when writing my summary to back up all of my information stated. I can use my quotes from the article to help support my claims. I may also use the article's information to further my study into this subject area.

Just as this article states, "Without experience, it’s hard for students to appreciate what type of career they’d like to have because it’s all hypothetical," which is why as a high school student, you should take the advantage of having pathway courses available to you and take them to prepare you for the future. Focusing on a career earlier can help you to decide whether or not is something you are serious about as a future career. It can give you the option of deciding before you go into college that maybe it is not what you thought it would be and you'd rather do something very different. Interning is another way to get ahead of the game. Interning within your community and within your career field can help you to get more hands on experience. You can learn so much from a mentor who is willing to teach you all about the insight of what happens on an everyday basis in the life of that career. Your schools should also offer you different pathway based clubs such as Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) or Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). These groups can help to prepare you for any situations you could face in these jobs later on and give you more experience with the type of people you will be working with.
Potential Quotes:
(Are there any significant quotes you can use or paraphrase from this source?)
A lot of people job shadow and get so much out of it, which is why starting early with experience within your future career field is important. High school students have now started getting this early experience through jobs, internships, and other activities such as clubs. Some of these clubs are DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, or SkillsUSA, which all have the same goal to promote career readiness. There are also classes that are given to students as options, like Food and nutrition, Education, Cosmetology, etc. These classes prepare you or sometimes even give you the first class credit for college. They also give you opportunities to talk to workers already in those careers about as to whether or not they enjoy it or not.
Assessment:
(Analyze and explain why this source is credible)
This article is taken from a credible site. It comes from a government source, which makes it valid. Elka Torpey, the author of this article, is a economist for Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is a Federal Agency that is responsible for measuring labor market activity, working conditions, and price changes in the economy. It collects and analyzes information about the economy to help make private and public decision making.
Reflection:
(How will you potentially use it?)
This article fits into my research, because it gives me more information about pathways and how focusing on them can help you in the future. It supports my research by giving examples about a real life student and councilor and their advice for students going through high school. I can use this information and statistics to help back me up in my research and ideas.

In this article, Lewis Mandell states that high school students aren't graduating fully prepared for the real world. The one major thing that is hurting this generation in the long run is not being taught about money and a person's financial well being. High school students must be taught about money to avoid "Debilitating debt, clumsy money management, poor retirement planning and even bankruptcy." (Mandell) Bankruptcy rates are the highest among the states where children aren't taught anything about savings, debt, or interest rates. Just as Lewis Mandell stated, "These results indicate that America's teenagers are heading down a path toward financial difficulty." (Mandell) We must begin to teach this generation the importance of money throughout high schools. They should be taught things such as, taxes, investing, saving and spending so that they are leaving high school fully prepared for the outside world. Some people might say that these skills should be taught at home by their parents, but parents aren't always the best teachers when it comes to money. It has been proven through a Stanford University study that people who get taught personal finance classes save more money in a lifetime than the ones who don't. If we don' t start teaching students the financial knowledge needed for after high school, the generations coming will be in the same boat as the one today, without a clue of financial stability.
Potential Quotes:
(Are there any significant quotes you can use or paraphrase from this source?)
There are many ideas that Mandell gives me that I could use within my capstone project. For instance, sending high school students out into the world without a clue of how to handle money is like pushing someone out of an airplane without a parachute. Schools teach sex education, computer skills, and hygiene/home economics, so why shouldn't we teach personal finance? Some people think students should be taught personal finance at home, but parents aren't necessarily qualified to teach them. Personal finance should be a mandatory class given to high school students that emphasizes taxes, investing, saving and spending.

The source used for this annotated bibliography is valid since it is an education source with a URL ending with .edu. An education website uses credible sources to gather their information used within the article.
Reflection:
(How will you potentially use it?)
This article fit into my research by allowing me to use this information to explain how not only pathways are important but could be made more efficient if they taught us things like personal finance since they are trying to prepare us for our future. This article can help back up my ideas with statistics and ideas. I can use it to add more detail and make the idea of adding this to schools and pathways seem beneficial to all students for their futures.
