Get elementary and middle school students dreaming about the exciting world of work with the informative and entertaining Children’s Dictionary of Occupations. It’s filled with hundreds of job descriptions, illustrations, and individual and group activities that will ignite their interest and fuel their desire to find a career path that appeals to their likes and strengths. Written in age-appropriate language, the CDO is based on the widely recognized Occupational Outlook Handbook, so job titles are indexed by Career Cluster as well as alphabetically. That lets young learners identify related jobs in the same area as they zero in on the title that fits them best. The book also includes a section called Getting a Job to introduce students to the concept of career exploration and help them prepare to find their first job. It’s never too early for kids to consider their occupational options—and the Children’s Dictionary of Occupations is an excellent way to get them started! A Meridian Product. Correlates to National Career Development Standards. One 126-page book. © 2004.
