How can this years eighth grade students entering ninth grade in 2007-2008 make selections about their major areas of interest if they have did not complete a career course?
Current eighth grade students will be better prepared to make informed decisions if they begin their exploration with CHOICES this year. This exploration allows students to assess their interests and explore careers prior to selecting a major area of interest. A minimum of three class periods is recommended for exploration in CHOICES. Student instructions are available if schools want to assign this project as homework. Call 800-342-9271 to have these materials emailed to you. Many districts are planning parent nights to explain the new requirements and the resources that are available.
