    Level 1- Students will spend time discovering about the World of Work. 

    Teachers already have many great ideas for teaching about family workers, community workers and global workers.

    Assessments:

    • Students grade 6-8 will access the Super Strong to learn about their RIASEC code. (One pager overview attached below.)

    Other ideas:

    • Introduce Holland's Codes (RIASEC) using either the poster or the foam boards.  
    • Use Original or Pictorial job cards to learn about a job in small groups. 
    • Explore careers via newspapers and magazines as part of a playlist. 
    • Collaborate with other students in small groups using the games and activities.
    • Play games with the My Job cards during a rotation station.
    • Use Reader's Theater scripts during ELD.
    • Communicate about strengths, interests and values using the SIVJ cards during whole group instruction. 
    • Use the puppets to practice oral language skills.
    • Read books about different careers.
    • Explore the Sanford Harmony materials.
