Options after High School - College and Career Readiness

Wondering how to start your college-and-career-readiness unit? Begin by making sure your students are fully aware of all their options after high school!

This valuable lesson will help to kickstart your students' college and career planning and exploration of alternative post-high-school pathways.

⭐️ WHAT'S INCLUDED (a complete lesson that uses the 5E Learning Cycle!):

• Engage: Question to hook students.
• Explore: Question to activate prior knowledge and the chance to ask questions before getting into the lesson.
• Explain: An overview of the six main options after high school, including the pros and cons of the following choices:
  ➡️ Gap year
  ➡️ Working
  ➡️ Military
  ➡️ Apprenticeship
  ➡️ Trade school
  ➡️ College)
• Elaborate/Extend: The extension part of the lesson includes discussion questions and an editable survey assignment. Please note that this is the only editable part of the presentation so that you can change the extension activity as you see fit; other ideas are included!).
• Evaluate: Reflection questions at the end of the presentation.

• Extra: Ideas for engaging students and extending the lesson further!

⭐️ Empower your students to make informed choices as they embark on their journey with confidence and clarity!

⭐️ This presentation can be used by teachers or counselors with face-to-face instruction, distance learning, OR a hybrid approach in any secondary class. You can present the lesson to the whole class or have students review it themselves independently or in small groups! This is the perfect lesson for a high school AVID, advisory, life skills, CTE, or language arts class!

⭐️ I also have this same presentation with Pear Deck slides! Click here for the Pear Deck version.

⭐️ This product is a COMPLETE LESSON in one place (similar to a Hyperdoc, which takes students through the learning cycle in one doc or slide deck using hyperlinks and other media). Perfect for using as a differentiated, self-paced, student-centered lesson, and/or whole class presentation!

⭐️ The time it takes for the entire lesson will vary depending on how much time you allow for group discussions, follow-up class sharing, and extension activities. You could spend as little as 60 minutes on the presentation itself, if that's all the time you have, or as much as one to three whole classes or more if you include some of the suggested extension activities. For ESL classes, you may a little need more time.

⭐️ This lesson is also included in my College Readiness Bundle and my College and Career Readiness BUNDLE.
