What educators are saying
Description
Help your students connect their current classroom learning to their future goals and aspirations with this fun research project designed just for elementary level kiddos. This project is perfect to build intrinsic motivation and connect to real world learning!
Students will explore different career paths that match their strengths and interests. They will research their dream career to discover what skills they will need and how much education is required (high school, college, etc.). Students will determine how much money they can expect to make in this career and learn how they will spend their day on the job. Most importantly, students will learn how they will use reading, writing, and math in their futures. In their final project, students will compile what they have learned into a mini book!
This project includes…
~ 20 Career Exploration Sheets that describe different career fields and provide example jobs in each area
~ a graphic organizer for students to record information about their job
~ a KWL chart for students to guide their own learning about their career of choice
~ a list of helpful, child-friendly websites to help students in their research
~ a kid-friendly resume and college application to help students imagine their future selves
~ a page where students are able to evaluate their current work habits
~ an interview sheet to allow students to interview an adult that currently works in their field of choice
~ a mini book describing their future goals and how they plan to achieve them
~ a career-themed word search is included just for fun!
