HOW IT WORKS

The teaching process

STEP 1

Decide how to teach

Adaptable to all sorts of learning environments, whether you're teaching a science class, afterschool workshop, or career advising.

STEP 2

Guide learners through lessons

Through engaging short lesson videos and thought-provoking discussions and activities, we'll give you the tools to expand learners' options for the future and build soft skills.

STEP 3

Focus on the Interview Project

To complete their project, learners will talk to someone working in a career they’re curious about, then share their interview with a larger community to keep the learning going!

It helped my students SEE that there are several possibilities after high school. I appreciate the fact that Roadtrip Nation does a great job with encouraging students where they are. Some of them really didn’t have a clue and I think this helped them to know that that was an okay place to be in while giving them information to think about what their next steps could be.
