CAREERS FOR LIFE

Authors: Sean Armstrong, Denise King, Lee Wallace

Reviewers: Teachers from across Newfoundland and Labrador were involved in reviewing this text.

Careers For Life, a 276-page text, is designed to meet all the curriculum objectives of the Newfoundland and Labrador Career Development 2211 Course.

Content Overview

Six thematic units focus on questions that are essential to the career development process.

  • Why Am I Doing This?
  • Who Am I?
  • What's Out There For Me?
  • How Do I Get Where I Want To Go?
  • How Far Have I Come?
  • What Can I Expect From Here?

The extensive Teacher's Resource Handbook and BLM CD-ROM include

  • planning, assessment and evaluation support
  • teaching notes
  • portfolio building strategies and modifiable blackline masters
  • an annotated list of useful external resources
  • support for the use of electronic resources

Careers For Life incorporates a process-driven approach to career education. The structure of the program is built on a Discover/Connect/Reflect model that reinforces the learning process. The Links feature in the student text points students to external sources of information, particularly electronic sources, and includes suggestions for using those sources. The Careers For Life website (www.careers.nelson.com/) includes links to useful sites and suggestions for how to manage information. A variety of activities require the use of technology, including word processing programs, the Internet, and spreadsheets.
