College & Career Readiness Teacher
I help 8th grade students start looking at their plans for life after high school.
Two words: middle schoolers! They are 13-14 years old, on the border between child and teen, and at any given moment they are ready to bolt but they have no idea what direction they should run. I am tasked with helping them choose a pathway for a career that they might want to do for the. rest. of. their. lives. You should see the looks on their faces...curiosity, confusion, unease, fear, terror... But we take the steps together to give them ownership of their life plans and paths.
Here's the first step for everyone
Don't be afraid to try out a few things. Explore!
