"Gray provides a systematic method for working with students to look at opportunities after high school in a realistic way."
―Mary Reeve, Director
Services for Exceptional Students
Help teens achieve success after high school through meaningful career development!
Without a realistic postsecondary strategy, more than half of students fail to graduate college or land rewarding jobs. Educators and parents can improve students′ odds by encouraging them to develop the long-term initiative and commitment of a solid career plan.
This updated edition of Getting Real examines real-world occupational trends and projections to help teens gain "career maturity" and a sense of direction. The second edition has been expanded to address students with special needs and those at risk of dropping out, and includes a new chapter on understanding today′s teens and parents. Offering a systematic, six-step plan for helping adolescents integrate youthful aspirations with economic realities, the author examines:
- The fundamentals of the labor market
- Myths and misconceptions that can limit students′ choices
- Alternative options to a four-year degree
- Career exploration strategies and activities, such as job shadowing and work-study
Develop confident, clear-thinking teens who can make well-informed academic and career decisions about their future!
