We've done it---and it's a change for the better!
A total revision and reorganization makes the 6th Edition Instructor's and Counselor's Guide for Career Choices the most complete resource ever available for Career Choices teachers. Drawn from questionnaires and interviews from over 100 teachers currently using the curriculum, this new edition includes insightful quotes and comments, descriptions of successful classroom practices and numerous ideas for expanding the original curriculum.
The easy-to-read, easy-to-use format presents lesson plans and expectations for each activity and section.
For a quick overview of the Instructor's Guide, view this clip from our 2-day Career Choices workshop with author Mindy Bingham.
