Community Awareness


Awareness: All for one and One for all

• Students should be prepared to protect:– Self– Others– And technology/ data where they work and learn.

Career Exploration


Career Exploration

• Career Awareness is part of the socialization process– As students are building an awareness of self,

decisions are made about who they will be– This happens around 4th grade– Decisions are made based on interests, peer,

family, and school influences


Grades K-3

• Valueless exposure to diverse careers and mentors

• Development of respect for others and the work they do


Grades 4 &5

• For each career students should know– Skills, qualities or abilities– General interests– Preparation, academic, non-academic– Most important class– Typical day– How does this job contribute to society or ‘make a

difference’


Every Grade• Connect Content to “real

world”– Authentic learning experiences– Answers the questions “Why

do we need to learn this?”– Develops an appreciation for

work that is done by community members and families

– Connects students to experiences in the global community
