CAREER CONNECTED STUDENT ARTIFACTS

CAREER EVIDENCE THAT GROWS WITH EVERY STUDENT

Each lesson turns a career conversation into a finished piece of work students keep. From kindergarten through 12th grade, students build a portfolio that shows how their interests, skills, and plans grow over time.

Every grade band covers four strands of career education:

  • Career Awareness and Exploration
  • Employability Skills
  • Growth and Advancement
  • Personal Interests and Career Planning



DOWNLOAD THE STRAND GUIDE!




how it works

1. Choose a grade band

Start with the grade band that fits your students: K–2, 3–5, 6–8, or 9–12. Each band builds on the one before it, so students who start in kindergarten keep adding to the same body of work as they grow.

2. Select a lesson

Every grade band includes lessons designed for that age group, from discovering RIASEC Superpowers in the early grades to building and revising a career plan in high school. Students create a different kind of artifact in each one, such as a written reflection, an interview, a presentation, or a graphic organizer.

3. Teach the lesson

Lead the activity with individual students, small groups, or your whole class. Each lesson includes questions to keep the career conversation going and an at-home extension that brings families in. Lessons can be adapted to each student’s interests and needs, including students with IEPs and English learners.

4. Score and save

Use the included rubric to evaluate the finished artifact, then save both in the student’s portfolio. Over time, the portfolio becomes a record of how each student’s interests, skills, and plans have grown.

EVERY LESSON HELPS STUDENTS

  • Create a finished artifact
  • Keep the career conversation going
  • Reflect on growth over time
  • Bring families into career conversations
  • Extend the learning with more activity ideas

PORTFOLIO SUPPORT

A HOME FOR EVERY STUDENTS CAREER EVIDENCE


Artifacts work best when they follow students from year to year. We help your team set up your learning management system, such as Google Classroom, Schoology, or Canvas, to store, organize, and carry student artifacts forward, so teachers can find them easily and students can see their own growth.

Reach out to start the conversation!

ORGANIZED FROM THE START

We help you build a portfolio structure in your existing, or a new, LMS for each student, organized by grade band, so every new artifact has a clear place to go.

EASY FOR TEACHERS

Teachers upload finished artifacts and rubrics in a few steps, using the system they already know.

BUILT TO LAST

Portfolios carry forward as students move between grades and schools, so years of work stay together in one place.

Bring career evidence to every classroom
