Career Exploration Activities and Career Awareness Lessons for K-2

Description

Whether you’re introducing the concept of jobs, helping students connect their interests and strengths to future careers, or showing how school skills support their dreams, this bundle brings career exploration to life in a way that’s meaningful and interactive for primary learners! And makes delivering college and career readiness activities a breeze.

Each lesson in this bundle includes:

• A structured slideshow to guide instruction and begin with a fun hook or opener
• A whole group activity to build shared understanding
• A small group or partner activity for students to collaboratively practice what they’ve learned
• An individual practice activity that provides a concrete lesson takeaway as students apply the learning to themselves
• Built-in opportunities for movement and interaction to keep young learners engaged

All About Jobs: Discover what jobs are, why people work, and how jobs help the community through fun, active learning. Includes teamwork activities and a mini-book for personal reflection.

Who I Am and Who I’ll Be: Helps students connect their unique strengths and interests to different jobs. Incorporates a “My Qualities and Interests” survey to boost self-awareness and confidence.

Learning Today, Working Tomorrow: Gives students the opportunity to connect school skills to future careers. Gives students the opportunity to map out their own career path.

While all three lessons support specific career development objectives, they all also incorporate key elements of career awareness and career exposure. Use them together as a complete unit or individually across different grade levels to meet the needs of your students and your program!
