Dream Catchers
is now used at more than 500 schools
across the country.
Why? Because the program uses a nice mix of concepts, stories,
and activities to help students gain knowledge of
- Career
clusters and basic career concepts.
- The
relationship between academic skills and occupations.
- Their skills
and how they can identify them.
- How their
skills, interests, and abilities tie to the world of work.
Use the content
and activities sequentially as part of a career awareness
program lasting from a few days to a week or more, or infuse
individual activities into existing classes in any order. And
the materials are easily adapted to special populations.
The Teacher's Guide includes at least one lesson
plan for each activity in Dream Catchers, each with an
objective and independent, small group, or class activities.
Includes suggestions for integrating reproducible activity
sheets into lesson plans. Step-by-step format reduces
preparation time.
Dream Catcher Activities - Engage students and reinforce key
concepts using this activity-packed tool. Content includes more than 80
printable, hands-on activities that students can complete in class or as

* Inspires young people to explore career pathways
* Teaches the process of career exploration, a skill that
students will use throughout their lives
This engaging DVD inspires young people to think about their
future careers and guides them through the exploration process.
In a documentary style, this DVD features real students
describing their interests, what they like to do, and what they
are good at as the basis for exploring career options. Next, the
program demonstrates how this insight is fundamental to a young
person’s career exploration.
Career experts describe basic, yet effective, strategies young
people can do to find their career interests and career
direction. The DVD also emphasizes the relationship between
school subjects and careers. Students learn how to explore their
career clues and how to consider opportunities in the 16 U.S.
Department of Education career clusters. Career information
sources, such as reference books and Web sites, are also
discussed. Information about networking, volunteering, and
internships connect students to ideas for gaining work
experience and learning more about careers.

CAREER CONNECTION, JR.

page for the Career Connections Jr.
We've developed a great career exploration software for grades 5–9 or
special-needs students. Career Connections, Jr. is "edutainment" software that
helps students explore more than 260 jobs that cover 85 percent of the labor
market. Colorful graphics, animation, sounds, and game themes make exploring
careers fun!
Lots to See and Hear! When a user picks an occupation to view, a narrator
describes the job (sound can be turned off) while the user sees text and a
full-color photo showing people at work in this job. Clicking file folder tabs
across the top of the screen easily changes the information displayed. Each
description includes
- Information on earnings, education or training needed, and employment
outlook
- A brief description of the job
- Details on working conditions
- Interesting, fun facts or stories related to the job
- Suggested activities for "trying out" the job
- Places to go for more information, including Web sites
- Hot links to related job titles
- Options to create one-page printouts to take home to parents
Key Information Is Short, Interesting, Easy to Read. Job descriptions are
based on Young
Person's Occupational Outlook Handbook and include up-to-date details
from the Occupational Outlook Handbook, the most widely used career reference
ever.
Three Career Assessment Games. Kids can choose one of three self-assessment
career games to begin connecting careers to things they enjoy:
- Career Pursuit—A board-game theme helps students use their favorite school
subjects and activities to connect to career choices.
- Pick a Card, Any Card—Animated cards introduce 14 major career interest
clusters from the Guide for Occupational Exploration.
- 20 Questions—A quick and easy card game connects hobbies and free-time
activities to career interests.
Each self-assessment game is quick and fun to use, and all incorporate solid
career assessment principles.
Wheel of Careers. Students can also go directly to a job title by selecting
any letter to look up more than 260 jobs by title in alphabetic order.
Hot Jobs Word Find. Or they can learn about high-interest jobs by challenging
themselves with a puzzle that lists the titles of the top ten jobs, based on
salary and projected growth—open-captioned video clips provide additional
information on each job they find.
Other Features
Accessible to a Wide Range of Grade Levels, Including Special-Needs Students.
The high-interest text at a low reading level makes Career Connections, Jr.
suitable for students starting in about fifth grade, including special-needs
students.
Engaging, Fun Graphics Enhance Kids' Natural Curiosity. We worked especially
hard to create a program that teaches important career exploration skills and
provides useful information, but in an engaging, interactive format.
Easy to Use. Kids guide themselves with little or no teacher instruction.
Most job descriptions can be reached with only two or three mouse "clicks"!
