Synopsis: This curriculum unit will focus on teaching self-awareness and how students’ personality, attitudes, interests, values and learning styles can influence career decisions. The first part of this unit involves personal character education. Strategies include self-assessments (https://www.facinghistory.org/resource-library/identity-charts-0), discovering interests and skills for working with people, working with data, working with things, or working with ideas, interactive notebooks, goal-setting and decision-making activities, role plays, and analyzing real-life scenarios. By integrating character traits like caring, respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, citizenship, and fairness into all areas of the school experience, students gain better self-awareness, self-confidence, and the desire to become more socially responsible. Part two of this unit focuses on career exploration of interests and skills (https://www.careeronestop.org/), job market trends, education and training needed, cost-of-living /reality-checks, mock interviewing, completing applications and networking. A gallery walk strategy will provide opportunities for group work to research and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of various career decisions.
