Goals Students will demonstrate concepts of work, careers, vocational learning, on the job expectations and will improve comprehension of some fundamental ideas associated with career education. This will be a teacher-made test, with answers circled or written by students. Write or illustrate definitions of the key words from the assessment. Identify three familiar careers or jobs and apply the key words to each to find out what are the job tasks, pay, work hours, etc.
Students can prioritize and divide up the list to write and send their own letters.
Different small groups of students will be responsible to conduct and facilitate the speakers' events. Students should rehearse their roles a few times before the speaker comes to school. Don't forget refreshments if that's a possibility. Hopefully all students can have a responsibility and an investment in this series of speakers. The speaker will hopefully share some materials or media related to the career.
