This teaching guide represents the 8th grade career guidance unit, one of a 5-part series of activity books for students in grades 8 through 12. Each unit is presented as a 2-week long program with supplemental activities included to allow expansion to 4 weeks. Introductory suggestions for facilitators are provided, focusing on activity adaptation, timing, small group formats, activity style, and relevance. The materials in this unit concentrate on the elements of career awareness, educational awareness, self awareness, and decision making, and provide a statement of goals, career guidance components, notes to teachers, subject area usage suggestions, and an overview of the 10 activity sessions. Each activity session is detailed in terms of its purpose, suggested group size, time requirement, materials, procedures, references, and sample worksheets. The appendix includes suggestions for supplemental activities (career speakers, slide presentation, interest inventories), a media list, and a bibliography of secondary career guidance materials.
