Background For Teachers:
This presentation helps students make the connection and purpose of TLC experiences and activities to the world of work. The five career paths are introduced and occupations within are identified. As teachers we are often guilty of assuming students understand "exploration" and just why TLC is required and yet the activities seem to "jump" all over the place. This presentation is designed to follow that first week's orientation and introduction.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
*Students will be able to identify and define work place terminology. **Students will recognize there are various reasons why people work. ***Students will recognize the difference between job, occupation, career, and career path. ****Students will be able to identify the five career paths. *****Students will discover 80% of the 20-fastest growing jobs are technology based and taught in junior high, high school, and ATC centers. Instructional Procedures:
This presentation can be viewed individually as students complete an associated worksheet - OR - can be displayed on a projection system. Teacher interaction and dialogue is optional.
Assessment Plan:
Activities are accepted on a pass/fail basis with a required quality standard of 80%. If the quality standard is not met, students do not receive credit BUT may complete a bonus activity to compensate for the no pass. Of course, each teacher should determine their own classroom policy.
