Within this career exploration lesson, students complete a strengths inventory using a modified version of the Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment. They then explore career options that match their strengths. Students are encouraged to consider possible careers of interest that they have not considered before. This resource is adapted from the Elementary School Counseling blog.

Character assemblies are a positive and proactive way to review and reinforce behavior expectations with students. These assemblies can be done throughout the year, including at the beginning of the year and after returning from any extended break.

To make the best use of this time, analyze data to identify recurring issues or "problem areas" of the school, and review expectations related to those.

Character skits can be used as a tool to review and discuss a behavior expectation that students need additional practice with, in a non-threatening way. In this activity, adults (teachers) role play a scenario first acting out a "bad" choice, then soliciting student feedback and acting it out a second time with a better choice. This activity is a great way to engage both students and adults in an assembly!
