Encourage all students to build leadership skills. Support students who are involved in career programs no traditional for their sex. Real-world activities in the classroom can make learning fun and relevant for young people. Have your students create an occupational family tree documenting the many careers that relatives have had over the years. Have students choose one of the careers that is of particular interest to them, and interview the corresponding relative about that career.
Students can then write about their interview experience and give an oral presentation in class.
