      Introduction

      Teaching Career Exploration is a curriculum guide for new and experienced instructors who want a structured yet flexible outline for teaching in Business and Technology. Eva Marie Foxwell’s lessons are designed with a focus on giving teachers dynamic and interactive lessons, guided learning ideas, detailed assignments, formative and summative assessments, and a wealth of classroom material.

      For students, this curriculum guide is designed to provide space to think, reflect, create, and collaborate toward formal projects that engage real-world business expectations.

      Teachers are encouraged to use these templates as strictly or loosely as they wish. There can be any level of deviation, customization, or combination that works best for your grade level, reading level, business resources, business community, administrative support, and collaborative possibilities at your school.

      It is therefore highly recommended that teachers read through this entire curriculum guide before the beginning of the year, in order to assess for themselves the best way to use the provided materials.

      Managing the Classroom

      Teaching Career Exploration is a follow-up to Eva Marie Foxwell’s teaching manual, Managing the Classroom, which brings curriculum to life in the classroom with live role-play and scenarios. Managing the Classroom gives students career-ready education in a student-centered classroom, preparing them to serve as strong leaders as they learn the fundamentals of business.

      Teaching Career Exploration is meant for use after you have read Managing the Classroom, which provides a course syllabus, guide for assigning classroom business roles, ice breaker activity, learning styles assessment, and goal-setting plan that are integral to making this curriculum successful and dynamic.

      You can purchase Managing the Classroom, as well as Eva’s other curriculum guides, Teaching Entrepreneurship and Teaching Business Soft Skills, at www.crteaching.com.

      How to Use This Curriculum Guide

      This curriculum guide is divided into three units, each focused on one important aspect of career exploration and provide a variety of lessons, activities, reflection exercises, and formative assessment questions to help students explore their future careers.

      Assignments

      Each major assignment, complete with clearly articulated requirements and learning indicators, appears at the beginning of the unit so you can see what all the lessons are building toward. You may choose to show students the major assignment at the beginning of the unit or wait until students are ready to begin working on it. Each assignment will ask students to explore, analyze, interpret, reflect, or synthesize business skills and knowledge.
