Grade seven CareerStart lessons

LEARN NC has recently published a series of CareerStart lesson plans for grade seven. The lessons help teachers draw connections between middle-school students’ future careers and core curriculum in English language arts, math, science, and social studies.

CareerStart is a schools and community capacity-building strategy that attempts to positively influence the educational trajectory for all students, but especially those at higher risk for school failure. CareerStart was developed as a partnership among the Schools of Education and Social Work at UNC - Chapel Hill, the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school district, and the Piedmont Triad Council of Government.

Grade six CareerStart lesson plans are also available, and lesson plans for grade eight are coming soon.
