    6th Grade Signature Unit:  

    Discovering My Potential Career

     

    In this unit, 6th grade students learn about different careers, and individually chose a specific job path to research and present at a culminating career fair. Their choices are generated not only on perceived interest, but through hands-on science explorations based on potential career paths and market demand, as well as results from theCareer Cruising website. The Career Cruising website suggests top careers for the students based on an extensive assessment survey. Students explore a wide range of options for their future and expand their view of possibilites.
