Life After High School Career Choices Lesson | English & Spanish

Help students compare education and career pathways and explain how their choices could support the life they want. This EPF Unit 4, Lesson 2 package includes English and Spanish materials, with bold Spanish text.

Students explore education and training, costs and funding, credentials, earnings, job availability and personal fit. The My Life at Age 30 activity asks students to explain an imagined pathway using fictional details rather than private household finances.

Included:

• 44 Main Teaching slides and 52 Selectable Practice slides in editable PPTX and searchable PDF formats.

• 10 student document types: English and bilingual full companions, guided question notes, vocabulary, reading, retrieval, activity directions, planning workspace, quiz and exit tickets.

• 16 teacher document types: implementation and source guides, lectures and teaching talks, answer keys, scoring guidance and models.

• Editable DOCX files, PDFs, optional HTML/TXT formats, and Color and LowInk alternatives.

• The annualized earnings chart and its embedded workbook remain editable in PowerPoint.

Choose the practice options and print alternatives your class needs. Counts refer to unique document types and slides, not duplicate file formats. PDFs are fixed-layout versions; edit the DOCX and PPTX files. Keep teacher materials and presentation notes teacher-controlled.

Financial examples include hypothetical inputs for classroom discussion, not current price quotes, job promises or personal financial advice. The earnings chart uses historical BLS 2023 weekly medians annualized by multiplying by 52; it does not show starting pay. Native Microsoft PowerPoint testing and physical printing have not been performed.

See the preview for actual student-facing pages and slide samples. Teacher notes, answer keys and completed models are not shown.
