Career Development Activities for the Elementary Grades: Relating Academic Areas to the World of Work

Schools have been charged with helping children become aware of and understand the world of work. With heavy curriculum demands, counselors and teachers have little time to focus exclusively on career development. This book provides 130 career activities for grades 3 through 6 that are tied to major subject areas. Teachers can expose students to specific careers while teaching math, English, science, or social studies. Counselors presenting career education can teach academic concepts while exposing students to the work world. Through the activities, students explore a variety of specific careers. Each activity has two levels of difficulty. Reproducible masters allows each student to have a copy of the activities as needed. You can also do the lesson with your children, reading the instructions aloud.McLaughlin, Miriam Smith is the author of 'Career Development Activities for the Elementary Grades: Relating Academic Areas to the World of Work' with ISBN 9781930572089 and ISBN 1930572085.
