How to integrate Career and Passion Connections into all classes, without sacrificing time or curriculum!

Thursday February 20, 2025 1:50pm - 2:50pm MST

Are you passionate about the courses you teach and eager to make the material more meaningful for your students? Do you want to inspire them to see how what they’re learning applies to their futures? We understand the challenges: the curriculum is packed, time is tight, and ensuring they meet learning objectives is always the priority.

In this session, we’ll explore practical strategies to seamlessly integrate real-world careers and passions into your teaching—without sacrificing curriculum goals. Using examples from a variety of grade 7-12 courses, you’ll learn how to subtly and consistently connect what you’re teaching to how students can use it beyond the classroom. Join us to reimagine how we inspire our students while keeping the curriculum front and center and not losing any time!
