EXPLORE the Possibilities Board Game
This interactive board game provides students with the opportunity to explore a number of different myths associated with Post-Secondary Education (PSE) as well as to obtain information about the different types of PSE and the careers that they can lead to. Students will also be exposed to a number of ideas that they can implement right away to help set them up for success in their education-to-work transition.
EXPLORE Your Interests Student Workbook
Students complete a series of activities which helps them to establish their personal set of skills and identify those that can be transferred to the workplace. They also work to identify their interests and then match their skills and interests with potential career clusters and the types of education and training required to pursue their potential career(s) of choice. Students explore the concrete links between education and the world of work.
EXPLORE the Cost of Living Student Workbook
Students create a personal vision of their future and then, using grocery flyers, local newspapers and information from insurance companies, etc. they work in small groups to create a budget that is reflective of their desired standard of living. After matching their budget with the salaries offered by jobs advertised in the local papers, they identify the matches and then identify the education and training required to obtain that job. The links between education and the world of work are strengthened.
EXPLORE Your Options Student Workbook
With the help of a game board, students are grouped into small teams and play an interactive game that is fashioned after Jeopardy. As a group, they are asked questions that help them to explore several career information categories (Getting Career Experience, Exploring the Workplace, Financing a Post-Secondary Education, Exploring the Different Types of PSE). This exercise serves to dispelmany of the myths associated with PSE.
EXPLORE Your Future Student Workbook
Students complete an activity to help them establish their personal long-term goals. They then take a closer look at how their current and future actions can contribute to or inhibit their goals and slot these activities into a matrix. College and University students repeatedly identify time management and work-life balance issues as their greatest challenges and those that keep them from being able to excel at their PSE studies. Discussions around the types of challenges that they will face in PSE and how to form their personal “Expedition Team” to help them stay on track as they pursue their educational goals round out the session.
Home Educator Lesson Plans (Facilitation Guidelines)
These lesson plans clearly lay out detailed guidelines for how to facilitate each of the recommended learning activities. They include information about how much time to allow for each activity as well as specific instructions about how to introduce and debrief each exercise. It just doesn’t get any easier than this!
