The World of Work Curriculum supports the development of student's unique strengths, interests, and values. Through interest exploration, simulations, meeting professionals and opportunities to practice the careers, students develop the necessary knowledge to prepare for real world opportunities. As a teacher facilitator, I support teachers as needed with the implementation of the World of Work curriculum. I provide support such as; professional learning sessions for staff, modeling lessons, planning, curriculum integration. Experience in building curriculum for the Social-Emotional Learning lessons for middle school.
