Affording flexibility to the instructor, the fifth-grade career education unit in social studies and language arts contains a description of its design, an overview, and an instructional sequence of 14 lessons. Lesson titles are: paths to occupational preparation; paths some workers take; paths to possible careers; tickets to success; success and specific abilities; abilities workers need; how I see myself; identification of interest factors; identification of occupations related to interest factors; state your preference; categorization of school activities; categorization of occupations; identification of personal preferences; and my first occupational profile. Each detailed lesson is organized under headings of concepts, performance objectives, lesson time, prerequisite knowledge, resources required, instructor preparation tasks, instructional procedures, assessment procedures, and assessment items. Instructional strategies, which include role playing, discussion, question and answer, giving directions, and pantomime, are appended, as are a copy of the learner's finished product (with sections on paths to careers, tickets to success, choose your guides, sights to consider, the future me, and a glossary) and a bibliography.
