Lesson Plan

Real Career Quest Plan

Students will explore and identify realistic career options by reading an age-appropriate passage, discussing in small groups, and playing a matching game to reflect on interests and required education.

Introducing career exploration early builds self-awareness, critical thinking, and goal-setting skills. It empowers students to connect personal interests with real-world pathways and supports future academic planning.
