Planning Guide: WBL Middle School

After students complete the Lesson “Careers and YOUR Interests”, direct

students to access the “Career” section of the platform and explore Career

Profiles by watching job shadowing and Q&A videos within their top 3 Career

Clusters. Ask students to favorite their top 3 Career Profiles for a total of 9. Then,

have students complete all Career Journal sections (career description,

required education, earnings, future outlook, related careers, additional links,

and colleges for each profile) and rate their interest.

Assign the Lesson “Careers and YOUR Interests” where

students complete the Career Interests Assessment and

reflect on their top three Career Clusters using the Written

Response feature.

Directions:

Assign Lessons for alternative career paths including:

“Job Exploration and Career Awareness”

“Nontraditional Careers”

Assign Lessons you feel are vital to address

social-emotional competencies and soft skill

development at this grade level:

“Understanding Grit”

“Understanding Growth Mindset”

Request Work-Based Learning sessions to further address specific areas of

career readiness or to give students more experience with specific careers.
