The first site that I explored is Michigan Career Development. Reading through the site, I was drawn to pages 10-12, Upper Elementary. I was drawn to this section because, in my concentration for teaching, I will be in grades 3-6 so I felt as though this was most interesting in this course, we have mostly gone over high school students and their transition plan so I felt this would be the most beneficial to me and my knowledge. There were many things that I have gathered from these pages and the first thing I noticed about this certain chapter is that there are four targets in this career awareness. The first target is the career zones, the main points from this was first a letter sent out to parents explaining in detail about introducing the process of career awareness for grades 4-6. Next are field trips that are involved in career awareness visiting a library and having an assignment, book fairs, and book reports. Next which is very important is family STEM, engineering, health, and public safety. This was very interesting and nice to see because this is very important and will definitely help these students with learning and experiencing while being hands-on. Target two goes over career zones that use academic subject matter. They embed career awareness activities in core curriculums through career-focused education. Also, they use college and community-based programs for example Math Corps. Next with target three. In this target, it includes character-building activities that help figure out a student’s strengths and weaknesses as well as their values. This also includes building soft skills and having work ethic discussions. Next is target four, in this target it is about out-of-school time and family engagement. This includes family support groups, developing job skills, career-focused summer camps, and school and community-based programs. Many positives come from these targets for example building skills that are needed out of school and in the workplace, experiencing and learning about different jobs, hands-on activities, and lastly discovering their strengths and weaknesses early on so they can work on them and succeed. In

this, I honestly did not find any limitations, I feel as though there are only positives that are included. This information is very helpful and applied to working with students who have special needs because with all of these positives for learning and exploring the work field is very important and is only beneficial to them it is great that it includes field trips and hands-on activities so they can build their knowledge on after school and graduation, what they wanna do in life, and building their skills. I could utilize this in the future by introducing this with a school or class that I would be working with and this will help students build the great skills they will need and set them up for success early on. The two assessments I have picked for this site, “Employment assessments” are Career Builder and Career Interest Inventory. These two assessments were drawn to me because I feel as though these are very crucial and beneficial for students with special needs. Having career-building is essential for students in high school for them to learn about different careers and how to get there while career interest inventory is also very important because students get to learn what jobs best suit and are most common for them. First, with career building, this website is considered a friendly platform that allows users to search for jobs, and opportunities, create resumes, and receive job alerts. This has many positives because it allows students to explore careers and the website allows them to research and see a variety of jobs that they may be interested in. Limitations I do see with this is some students with special needs may find it hard to use and utilize this website though it is very helpful, it may be difficult to use and understand. With this information, I believe this would be a great resource to use with students with special needs allowing them the opportunity to explore and learn about different jobs. I could utilize this website in the classroom by going over and explaining the website to my students and helping
