Hi, I'm Jenn —
30+ years in secondary education
ELA • ESL • Advisory & CCR
If your students struggle to answer "What do I want to do after high school?" — you're not alone. Most students have never had structured time to explore their interests, strengths, or options. And most teachers don't have time to build that from scratch.
Start simple. Start here:
✓Help students identify their interests and strengths
✓Guide them in exploring possible career paths
✓Use a ready-to-go activity that actually engages them
No prep. No overwhelm. Just a strong starting point.
Start Your College & Career Readiness Unit without the Stress
Once you start…
what comes next?
A single activity is a great beginning — but College & Career Readiness isn't a one-time lesson. It's something students need built across four years. Without a clear progression, lessons can feel disconnected, rushed, or hard to justify to administrators.
If you teach — or lead — CCR in Advisory, ELA, EL, SPED, or CTE, you're expected to prepare students for life after high school. Often without a clear roadmap. Often with materials that don't connect. Often without enough time.
CCR shouldn't feel pieced together.
You need a plan that goes beyond a single grade level. This free planning system gives you:
✓ A simple, easy-to-follow 9–12 scope and sequence
✓ Grade-level pacing guides for each year (9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th)
✓ Intentional skill-building across all four grade levels
✓ A clear framework you can adapt to your school's context
Whether you're building a program from scratch or refining what you already have, this gives you the clarity to move forward — without starting from zero.

THE REVIEWS
The teacher behind the resources
With 30+ years in secondary education — including ELA, ESL, and 15 years in AVID — I've built CCR into real classrooms for students who needed school to feel possible, not overwhelming. The resources I create reflect that experience.
The difference? A clear progression. Engaging lessons. Structure and resources — together.
These print and digital career exploration worksheets use a career interest survey and personality test to guide your students on the path to their dream careers!
