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.
You'll also find:
- Day-by-day lesson plans for each theme and activity in Career Choices
- Discussion outlines for daily class use
- Classroom extension ideas such as vocabulary lists, resource materials and recommended reading lists
- Descriptions of successful restructuring efforts
- A sample nine-week interdisciplinary lesson plan for language arts, math, social studies and homeroom
- Examples of how Career Choices is used in Tech Prep, School-to-Work and with various special populations
A new section includes:
- An acronym for remembering the SCANS competencies and descriptions of how Career Choices meets them
- Suggestions for funding
- A chart demonstrating how Career Choices addresses specific NOICC competencies
- Strategies for creating "buy-in" for a guidance curriculum in your school
- A detailed plan for working with community organizations such as Kiwanis, Soroptimist or Rotary
Another added feature is the inclusion of Lifestyle Math and Possibilities cross-referencing. Now integration is made easier by the placement of references of language arts and math topics on the same page with a Career Choices lesson, relating similar themes and providing easy accessibility.
