The SD61 Pathways & Partnerships team supports hands-on learning and life transition resources and programs for middle schools.

Research shows that children start to make assumptions about their suitability for a career as early as seven years old, so it is important to reach students as young as possible. 

The SD61 Career Explorer Workbook for middle school allows students to identify strengths, interests, and values and start thinking about the bigger questions about discovering their purpose and designing a balanced life.

Lessons include exercises that help students discover what matters to them, connect First Peoples’ teachings to their values and virtues, and reflect on what supports their mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being.

SD61 educators can request a link to the PDF Guides and Student Workbooks—link to the Career Explorer website for more details.
