• World of Work
    How can a child aspire to a career they don't know exists?

    The World of Work is evolving with new careers and opportunities developing locally and globally.

    Together we can help all children develop their unique strengths, interests, and work values to ensure that they know they have a place in the world and they are wanted for a dream job.

    Below is the WOW Framework.  

    You will see Level 1 & 2 referenced often. These Levels are referenced on the left navigation tab, on materials within the WOW Resource Kit, and on the WOW Resource Kits Contents - TK - 8 Google Docs. WOW Resource Kits Contents can be found under each grade level tab.

    During the 2017-2018 school year we are focusing on Level 1 and Level 2 experiences for all students.

    Some students might have opportunities during this academic year to have a Level 3 and/or Level 4 experience as more businesses connect their work to the work in CVUSD.
