Jobs and Career Counseling Sorting Out Options
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s the perennial question adults ask kids. When they’re younger, you often hear fire fighter, movie star, and football player as answers. But, as kids get older, they begin to consider the question more seriously. Still, it’s not unusual for 8th and 9th grade students to have no idea about a future career.
Unfortunately, career counseling does not get high priority in secondary schools. We push kids to do their best, take challenging classes, and app

The Teacher's Book of BIG Questions
When should we be asking questions?
The short answer: all the time. As teachers we’ve all fallen into the trap of giving students answers rather than encouraging them to think for themselves.

Because we want this book to be useful to as many teachers as possible, we’ve provided questions to go along with different types of con
