Career Education Curriculum Using Career Cruising

Career education is very important in a student’s understanding what types of careers are available for them using the skills they currently have. The lessons that come with this unit are written so it can be taught directly from the text with the opportunity for the teacher to use their creativity to enhance the information being taught to the students. Listed below is an overview of what you will be encountering throughout the five-day career education lesson plan unit. Day 1: Building Background knowledge First Step- where do I start? Day 2: Day 1 review What is Career Cruising? Finding a career and a career pathway Selecting the careers for you Day 3: Day 2 review What are all these careers all about? Colleges and other schools Career Information worksheet Day 4: Day 3 review What does this all mean for the career I want? Four-Year plan Day 5: Day 4 review Four-Year plan continued Completion of the four-year plan, what is next?

Day 1- Career Curriculum – 45 minutes Building background knowledge (20 - 25 minutes): Many careers are placed into several categories that are connected in some way to other careers. For educational purposes the California Department of Education divides careers into fifteen pathways. There are many career options. There are pathway pamphlets provided on the CD to be used as reference for this discussion. In each of these pathways there are a variety of careers that can be chosen. All require a high school diploma and most require some type of certification or degree. Discussion: Discuss with students the various careers that are in the world. Pass out to students the pathway pamphlets for students to look at while you talk about the various jobs in each pathway. Additional technology: If you have available access to a computer that will be visible for all students then use the Career Curriculum PowerPoint or slide show presentation. The presentation will give visual depictions of some careers in each pathway. After the power point is finished and your discussion about various careers ask students this question, Which career best suits you? To give you an idea of some of the many careers available in the technological field are: auto body repair astronomer automotive mechanic building inspector cabinet maker computer engineer CAD technician computer programmer carpenters computer scientist computer repair construction contractor computer technician data systems manager construction trades: (carpenter, plumber, draftsman roofer, concrete, insulation, etc.) engineer: (mechanical, electrical, structural, control systems technician, aeronautical, civil, chemical, mining, electrical repair person, petroleum, etc.)

Although these are just a few of the careers in the world, it is a starting point of where you can begin thinking about what career you are interested. The best way to begin the thought process about how to answer the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” is to begin thinking about all the things in your life that you enjoy doing. Chatting with your friends, writing notes, playing video games, talking on the phone, working with your hands, drawing, and most importantly dreaming about what could possibly be. When you have had the opportunity to think about all of these things that is when the process can begin for you to start choosing a career that might be your dream job. It is okay if you aren’t sure, you will hopefully have a better idea by the end of this week- long lesson. First Step- Where do I start? (15 – 20 minutes) This is a very important part of this lesson to get students to begin to think outside the box to how they are going to achieve the successes, so they can get the jobs of their dreams. The first step is the realization that with all jobs they require hard work. Most jobs will require a certification, a degree or hands on experience. The question is where will these students get the opportunity to get these requirements. Most requirements will begin to be covered when the student begins either a trade school, technical program, enrolls in either a two or four year college. This is the first step. Let’s see if any of your students have begun to think about what their first step is to get that job of their dreams. Discussion- Ask you students where they would like to go to school after high school? This school can be a trade school (i.e. beauty school, culinary school, a/c and heating school, police academy, and many more) or can be a community college like West Hills or College of the Sequoias, or it can be a four year college like California State University Fresno or Bakersfield, or a University of California like UC Berkeley or UCLA. Their dreams can even reach to Ivy League schools such as Yale, Harvard and even Princeton or Brown. These are all very excellent choices; it is now up to your students to begin the search to get to those specific trade schools or colleges.

Page 10: Career Education Curriculum Using Career Cruising

Activity- Each corner of the room will represent a category of possible school choices. Corner 1 will represent trade schools, corner 2 represents community colleges, corner 3 represents four year colleges, and corner 4 represents the undecided. Have all the students get up and go to the corner that represents where they believe they will go after graduating from high school. There will be students who follow other students to a certain corner, that is okay. That means those students have not yet decided, but know they want to go to either trade school or college. Also make sure you explain to students that it is okay to be undecided at this point, but by the end of this lesson unit they should have a more concrete idea of what direction they want to go with their future. While the students are in their corners, ask a few questions. For example, ask students why they chose that corner and how they are going to get there from the academic choices they are currently making. Have the students share with each other in their corner group prior to reporting out to the class. May want to provide chart paper to record each group’s reasons and responses. Be prepared for questions related to current academics and what grades they should be getting to be successful in their future. Homework: Tell your students to continue to think about what careers interest them and what possible schools they want to attend, because in Day 2 lesson plan they will begin the process to narrow down the many careers there are in the world to the ones that are truly interesting to them.

Day 2 - Career Curriculum – 45 minutes (Computers needed today) Day 1 Review (5 minutes):

Remind students about the different careers that are available to them and how they should be looking at the skills they have and the things they are interested for possible future careers. What is Career Cruising? (10 minutes) Career Cruising is a computer software program that enables students to identify, through a series of questions, which careers fit them the best. This program will enable students to learn more about specific careers they might be interested in. At this point have students either move to a computer of login to the computer. Then have them access the Internet and type in the career cruising website: www.careercruising.com . Pass out the students’ Username login and their password. If you are demonstrating on an overhead computer or screen, please show the students where to login and how to type in their username and password. DO NOT LET STUDENTS GO ANY FURTHER UNTIL YOU KNOW THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE AT THE SAME SPOT. Finding a career and a career pathway (15-20 minutes)

• After students have logged in to Career Cruising then have them click on the link for Career Matchmaker.

• Once there the students need to type in their first and last name and then click on “Start a new career matchmaker session.”

• The students will then be asked to complete 39 questions. Once completed, the students need to click on “Save results, yes- I don’t have a portfolio.”

• This will bring them to another screen for the students to type in their first and last name, select their grade from the pull down screen, and then create username and a password (use the same one as your username and password login for career cruising. This will save their portfolio to the career cruising website server.

• After they have done this they will be shown a list of varied careers they are best suited for.

Page 12: Career Education Curriculum Using Career Cruising

Selecting the Careers for you (5-10 minutes) Pass out the career information worksheet to students when they finish their career matchmaker session. Tell students that after they have viewed the list of possible careers, have them write down on the career information worksheet the five careers that interested them the most. When they have written down the five possible careers have them also write down the career pathways their careers are listed in. Teacher- Collect the worksheets at the end of class to be returned to students the next day. Have students close out the screen and log off of the computer.

Page 13: Career Education Curriculum Using Career Cruising

Day 3 - Career Curriculum – 45 minutes (Computers needed today) Day 2 Review (5 minutes):

Remind students about the different careers that are available to them and how they should be looking at the skills they have and the things they are interested for possible future careers. Pass out the students’ career information worksheet. What are these careers all about? (30- 35 minutes) Have the students log on to computers and logon to the Internet. Then have them type in www.careercruising.com website into the address bar.

• When in the career cruising website go to the portfolio login section and type in your username and password and click “login.”

• When prompted to enter your email address, don’t. Just close out of the screen using the small x on the top right hand side of the small email prompt box.

• On the left hand tool bar click on Assessment Results tab. • At that point, a box with the students’ top ten career selections will

appear. At the middle of the screen it will read see all results. This will allow the students to see all the careers that are possible choices for them. It will also allow them to see all of the career choices they may have chosen as well as their career pathways.

• Using their career information worksheet, have students click on the first career they selected on their sheet.

• Students can then look at the tabs under general information on the left side of the page and click on any of the tabs to learn more about their possible chosen career.

1. On the career information worksheet, have the students summarize (it would be helpful to review what summarize means) what the job description is for the career they have chosen.

2. On the career information worksheet, have the students write down what the potential job earnings (amount they will make in this career) and write down what the educational requirements are for this career.

3. Students may also look at the sample career path and read the interviews with people who work in that area.

Page 14: Career Education Curriculum Using Career Cruising

11

• Have students repeat numbers 1-3 with the other four careers they have chosen. (To do this, use the back arrow button to get back to the Assessments Results page).

Colleges and other Schools (For students who finish early) If there is time, students may go to the schools tab at the top of the website and click on it. This will bring the students to a list of four choices:

• Have students select school selector • Then click on which type of school the student is interested in

attending when they are graduated from high school either Trade and Technical or 2 – 4 year college (most students should select 2 – 4 year college).

• Click on a state on the map and click next at the bottom right on the screen.

• The next few screens will ask the students some questions related to what type of school they are interested in attending.

• It would be helpful to reflect back to the “four corners” activity done on day one.

Career Information Worksheet Collect the career information worksheet and hold them for the next day. Have students close out the screen and log off of the computer. Teacher additional requirements: Review each student’s career information worksheet and tally the students’ pathways that they identified. Copy the number of pathways or elective sheets that will be necessary for tomorrow’s lesson (see high school pathways and electives located at the end of this lesson unit).

Day 4 - Career Curriculum – 45 minutes Day 3 Review (5 minutes):

Remind students about the different careers that are available to them and how they should be looking at the skills they have and the things they are interested for possible future careers. What does this all mean for the career I want? (15- 20 minutes) Discuss with each student that when choosing a career using Career Cruising they may find that there are other jobs that are similar to the one they choose they may like more, and that these career choices are based on how they answered during this lesson and may change, as they get older and interested in more activities. The pathways and electives sheets that are used to help students identify their possible careers and which classes they should be taking when in high school come from the high schools in Kings County.

• AHS Pass out the students’ career information worksheet and the electives section of the AHSD course catalog.

• CHS Pass out the students’ career information worksheet with the electives and coursework that is connected to their possible career. To access those, go to the CD and locate the Corcoran HS guidance handbook and look up all the electives.

• LHS Pass out the students’ career information worksheet with the pathway(s) that is connected to their possible career (There are more electives than those listed on the pathways. To access those, go to the CD and locate the LHS counseling guide and look up all the electives.)

• HJUHSD Pass out the students’ career information worksheet and the electives section of the HJUHSD course catalog.

AHS- Have students review the electives sheets and choose two electives that they will be able to take in ninth grade through twelfth grade. CHS- Have students review the electives sheets and choose two electives that they will be able to take in ninth grade through twelfth grade. LHS- Discuss with students the different pathways and how each pathway has a select number of electives for each grade from ninth to twelfth. Have students choose two electives from each grade level. HJUHSD- Have students review the electives sheets and choose two electives that they will be able to take in ninth grade through twelfth grade.

Page 16: Career Education Curriculum Using Career Cruising

**Reminder** If a student is thinking about taking a class that is a series class, for example wood 1, wood 2, etc.; the student must take the first class before they can take a higher leveled class. Four-Year Plan (10 minutes and to be continued the next day) Each student will use their career information worksheet and the pathways or electives sheets to help them complete a four-year plan for high school. This plan will guide them to the classes they need to take for the pathway/electives they are choosing. Pass out the four-year plan. Each high school district has specific plans designated for their school district, make sure to pass out the correct four-year plan depending on which high school district the student will be attending. Each four-year plan will have suggestions for the students on which classes they should take each year in high school. There will still be students who are not sure which classes to take, remember this is just a plan of what is possible for them to take and not an actual concrete four-year plan.

• First, have each student decide which math class they will be taking according to what they are currently enrolled in, and then have them write it down on the four-year plan under the 9th grade section. Then list the two electives they chose at the bottom of the 9th grade (freshman) section. (HJUHSD students will select three electives as a 9th grade freshman, unless they need to take a remediation class for English or math and then that remediation class will take one of the three electives).

Career Earnings Worksheet (10 minutes and to be finished as homework to be returned the next day) Discuss with students how a career that pays $8.00 and hour is not going to allow you to have the things in their lives they would like compared to a career that pays $30.00 or more an hour. Explain to students there are “Other Costs” in life that will subtract from how much money they actually get to spend. Pass out the Career Earnings example worksheet. Together as a class, go step by step down the worksheet and explain to students that the costs listed on the worksheet are for Kings County and that living other places the costs might be higher or lower. After you have discussed the costs to students explain to them that if they want more things like a more expensive car or clothes then it will cost them more. Pass out the Career Earning Worksheet.

Page 17: Career Education Curriculum Using Career Cruising

14

Directions for Career Earnings Worksheet: Have each student write down two of the careers they chose for their career information worksheets and also write down how much those careers pay to start. Then have the students divide that number by 12 (number of months in a year). Then that number will be how much money they have earned for each month. Next, have the students subtract the amounts listed on the worksheet from the amount they will have for each month, and any money left over is extra money to spend. Now, if the student is in the negative amounts for money then the career they have chosen will not be able to support the lifestyle they have chosen and listed on this worksheet. Have students finish these worksheets, and return them to you for discussion the next day. Teacher notes: ***Collect four-year plans and pathway/elective choices*** You will be returning these to the students the next day.
