Careers Class Course Description

Careers class is an exploratory course that introduces students to the world of work.  In the course students take on adult work roles and, by play-acting in them and completing classroom exercises, learn about many of the aspects of real life:  earning money, budgeting, how earnings must be spent (housing, transportation), evaluating job satisfaction, and planning for the future.

            During the course students are encouraged to invite their parents in to share with the class their experiences in regards to their career(s).  Guest speakers enrich the learning that takes place during the class.  A suggested presentation guideline is available to those who would like to come in.
