TUTORIAL THIS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY IN C13!

Begin Career 101...

Objectives:

• I can identify at least one career pathway that matches my interests, strengths, and values.

• I know how to research a career and determine the steps I would need to take to pursue that career.

• I can use Naviance, Oregon CIS, and strategic Internet searches to conduct research and gather reliable information about a career.

• I can make a short oral presentation about my Career Research Project.

Introduction to Career Research Project:

For the next few class periods, we will be working on the Career Pathways Project

1. Go through 16 Career Clusters Slideshow, filling out your

Career Pathways Lesson 1 as you go.

2. Return to Naviance and Oregon CIS and complete career surveys:
1. Strengths Explorer (Naviance)
2. Interest Profiler (CIS)

a.To log in to Franklin Naviance:  Your user name is the first letter of your first name and then your last name.  Your password is your ID number.  Check out the results from the ‘Strengths Explorer Survey.’

b.Go to Oregon CIS.  You should have already created an account and completed the ‘Interest Profiler.’  Check out those results again.

If you have time, you can start note-taking on your careers using Career Pathways Lesson 2 (you need 2 of these graphic organizers, one for each of the careers you're researching)

Research Time:

Give students a week to research their careers.  They should use Naviance, Oregon CIS, and Google (but apply strategic search skills from Digital Citizenship Lessons #5 and #7).

 Some ideas include:

• Side-by-side comparison for all information?
• Start with presenting Career #1, then Career #2, and end with a reflection on best fit?
• Side-by-Side Comparison with Pros and Cons?  (Not even sure if this makes sense)
