Educators and students alike speak about the turning point at which young people who have gone through this process come to see the value and benefits of education and the need to take charge of their lives. These are important breakthroughs for most young people. The Career Choices integrated curriculum consists of three textbooks, a Workbook and Instructor s Guide . The texts can be used independently or jointly to create an interdisciplinary learning experience. Career Choices is the main text, complete with over 100 motivational learning activities.
Students begin with a process for self-awareness.
Once they explore their unique abilities, ambitions and dreams, they are ready to learn the life skill strategies of goal setting, decision making, critical thinking, teamwork and long-term planning. Possibilities is a literature anthology of fifty poems, short stories, essays and speeches integrated thematically with the lessons in Career Choices . Literature s true gift is to help students broaden understanding of self and others. The selections in Possibilities help young people relate these lessons directly to their own lives while increasing reading skills. Lifestyle Math complements the Career Choices text as it teaches students real-world math skills they will use virtually every day of their lives.
