 GFSF Follow-Up Modules Overview
  Once students complete their online 10-year plans in 9th grade, targeted classroom-based lessons in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades ensure students stay focused on their goals. These three 16-lesson modules provide students with a "touch-point" in each year of high school to help them transition seamlessly to their post-secondary goal. Each workbook comes with access to an online Get Focused...Stay Focused! planning area, so students begin their work in their consumable workbook and then complete their work online in an interactive area of My10yearPlan.com.  This sophisticated hybrid-course provides the technological skills to assure students are ready to take advantage of technology advancements in learning.
