The Creative Counselor: "Paws" for Career Awareness & Exploration Research Booklet

Unleashing Excitement:

Get those tails wagging with excitement because this month, our lesson is all about careers, just like fetching sticks or chasing squirrels! We want our younger students to sniff out the countless opportunities that lie ahead. So, instead of just giving them a boring career lesson, they are getting a "pawsome" opportunity to research in the computer lab, where they can explore their interests and some howlingly cool careers. Our amazing computer teachers are the top dogs and have handpicked safe websites for our little explorers. We've got quite a collection, but for today's adventure, we'll be digging into the "Paws in Jobland" site!

Sniffing Out Opportunities:

Kids will have their ears perked as they do the "Job Finder" online survey. The best part is that all the questions and careers are read out loud to them, making it super easy for everyone to follow along! Once they've finished the survey, they'll be taken to a cartoon community where they'll discover the highlighted career clusters.

A "Pawsome" Adventure:

They get to "sniff" out specific careers in their chosen clusters! Just by clicking on the cluster, a list of awesome careers will appear. They can watch a fun slideshow video that explains the ins and outs of each career. And they can "fetch" information for two exciting careers to fill their mini career research booklets!
