What are
Career Clusters?
Today, we are going to re-visit Career Clusters. GaDOE requires that students start learning about different careers they may pursue
after High School graduation. Do you remember
what a Career Cluster is?
Career Clusters are
occupations organized
into groups with similar skills and
knowledge.
First, we’re going to learn about occupations in the Business Management and Administration career cluster.
First, we’re going to learn about occupations in the Business Management and Administration career cluster.
The Business Management and Administration career cluster includes jobs that relate to planning, organizing, directing, and evaluating business functions that are needed for good business operations.
HB 713 mandates a minimum course of
study in career education in grades k-12.
GaDOE has developed
17 Careers for K-5 elementary students
to explore.
We hope to assist you, the student, in becoming more familiar with…Who you are…Where you are going, and…How you are going to get there.
Who are You?Likes & DislikesStrengths & Weaknesses
Who are You? What are your like and dislikes? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses?
Knowing the answer to questions like these can help lead you to a job or career that you will enjoy doing every day.
Where are you going?
Job VS CareerWork ForceCollege
Where are you going?Will you go on to Middle School?
Will you go on to graduate from High School? Will you go straight into the Work Force for a job? Or will you graduate from High School, go on to college and pursue a degree for a career?
What’s the difference between a career and a job?
Job is
showing up to get paid
for work you do
Careerspans your lifetime
and includes your education, training,
experience, and your full history of
paid work in a certain field.
EXAMPLES:A DOCTOR HAS A MEDICAL CAREER BUT HIS JOB IS TREATING PEOPLE.
Mrs. Bridges has a career in education but her job is teaching students to read.
How are you going to get there?
School Attendance is important
from Kindergarten through High School.
When you’re not in school, you are missing important instruction that the rest of the class is getting.
Even when your teacher allows you to make up missed work, you miss out on the benefit of instruction that takes places daily in the classroom.
How are you going to get there?
Class workStaying attentive and focused on your class work helps you to learn today what you will need to know
for tomorrow’s instruction.
Every day of instruction builds on previous learning.
Every grade level builds on what you have mastered
in previous grades.
How are you going to get there?
Homework is practice of the skills
we’ve worked on in class.
The more practice you get, the quicker you
master the knowledge.
How are you going to get there?
Behavior Choosing to control your behavior
should begin VERY early in life.Continuing to practice control of
your behavior is important in EVERY aspect of your life forever.
Good behavior is ALWAYS a good practice!
