5Cs Career Planning Lesson Plan


 * The 5Cs ||  ||
 * Compare || Students will complete an interest inventory to compare themselves to job careers that are out there.They will assess themselves to find out if they are a people, data, things or idea type person. Examples:

People: working with children, teaching someone, running an office, selling a product to someone

Data: researching, scientific experiments, computer programs

Things: baking a cake, repairing a car, doing landscaping

Ideas: decorating a room, writing a poem, painting, inventing ||
 * Contrast || Students will look at the survey and see their weakness or dislikes so that they know what career would not interest or suit them. ||
 * Conceptualize || Students will understand their likes and dislikes and which will help when planning for a career. The more the student is interested in their work, the happier they will be on the job. ||
 * Comprehend || Student will take the checklist that they have and begin searching for careers that fit under the interests that they have from the survey. They will begin to look at what is needed to get into that career and learn if that career is a good fit. Students will research the schooling they will need, hours of the job, income, responsibilities, etc. ||
 * Combine || We will combine the real world into the classroom by having students shadow someone in the field that they are interested in learning more about. Students will do a self reflection on what was learned. ||

Some of my gifted students have IEP's along with their gifted GIEP. I make sure that I set guidelines and expectations right from the start for any project or lesson plan. I give these students a hard copy of the expectations along with sending home an email so that mom and dad can assist where needed. I like to print off calendars for my students with needs so that they can set deadlines. Time mangement is usually an issue and I try to take care of this from the start.
