Instructional Ideas
- Have pupils create a short presentation about the career or job cluster they've identified as a match for their interests
- While they research, ask scholars to identify at least one college or trade school that specializes in their careers
Classroom Considerations
- Substitute a more global online job family search tool for the state-specific resource in the lesson plan
Pros
- Students are very autonomous during the lesson, performing a self-assessment and using the results to guide their career research
- Helpful teacher resources make it easy to launch the lesson, then mingle and check on everyone's progress
Cons
- None
