During the early grade levels students become familiar with careers through learning that connects classroom instruction to future work.
Embedding Career Awareness into the core curriculum is suggested best practice. By incorporating a quick video into your daily lessons, students are able to broaden their knowledge about career options. When a student can make the school-career connection, they become a more engaged student in your classroom.
