Instructional Ideas

• As an extension activity, have learners talk to an older adult to learn about the career path they took, and how their ideas and values may have evolved over time

Classroom Considerations

• While the first two lines prompt you to review an online tutorial and assessment, it may be better to skip this entirely in order to avoid the complications of Internet use and third-party advertisements, and adapt the worksheet to your own lesson

Pros

• Appropriate brainstorming activity for college and career readiness
• Great list of things to consider as part of a thorough self-assessment

Cons

• Promotes use of one particular website several times in the worksheet
