Explore new frontiers in education, exchange ideas, evaluate approaches, and learn how to develop plans and create the kind of models that work best in your school, for your students.

While the training revolves around the Career Choices curriculum, you'll also have an opportunity to focus on project-based learning techniques, team teaching tactics, curriculum integration models, and dropout prevention strategies.

Learn how to:
  • Engage students in motivational, relevant academics
  • Integrate career and life planning into core academic subjects (English/language arts, math, social studies) using the Career Choices curriculum
  • Improve reading, writing, and math by teaching skills in real-world context
  • Ignite students’ interest through new strategies, resources, activities, and ideas
  • Use the Internet to enhance your Career Choices course
  • Infuse technology into your academic classroom using the optional online correction tool for Lifestyle Math
  • Motivate students and help them see the impact their high school education has on their future life satisfaction
  • Create a willing, motivated, and confident faculty as you implement educational change
  • Build interdisciplinary or academic teams that work
  • Set up Freshman Academies, Smaller Learning Communities, or Career Academies in your school
