Welcome Teachers!
Why career planning for elementary school students:
- It is not too early to start teaching children at this age level about career awareness.
- It is important for children to become aware of the connection between school and a successful future i.e. the world of work.
Career Planning can assist students in elementary school with:
- Discovering the variety of jobs in the community.
- Connecting classroom learning to real-world situations.
- Visualizing himself or herself in an occupation.
- Developing work-readiness skills such as making decisions, solving problems, working and playing with others, and being a leader.
Why Infuse Career planning lessons into existing curriculum?
- Lessons in career planning address and support many areas of the Vermont Framework of Standards/Vital Results; particularly the Personal Development Standards.
- Curriculum integration can introduce students to the world of work.
- Career planning content can contribute to improved student performance.
