Dear Counselor:

Thank you for participating in the Journey to College K-8 Program! The Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development is excited to provide resources to support college and career oriented activities at your school.

Within this resource manual you will find a list of activities, resources, and a variety of promotional materials available upon request. Customize and tailor these activities to maximize student engagement at your school.

This is a challenging year and we know many of these activities may need to be conducted virtually. We’ve provided several links to short videos and included several printables. If students don’t have access to a printer, they could simply write or draw their answers instead.

We look forward to working with you. If you have any questions or stories to share, we would love to hear from you. Send all questions and testimonials to the Journey to College Team at [email protected].

Sincerely,

The Journey to College Team

Think about college now

Federal and state grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans

are available to a majority of students

to help pay for college. About 81

percent of undergraduate students

receive some form of financial aid.

The U.S. Department of Education

and the state of Missouri offer millions of dollars in financial aid to

students each year. Visit FAFSA4caster.ed.gov today

to get an estimate of the amount of

federal aid your child could receive. Saving for collegeStart saving for college as early as

possible. You can watch your savings

grow while your children grow. Money saved through MOST 529 — a

state-sponsored, college savings

plan that offers tax advantages — can be used for college tuition,

certain housing expenses, books,

supplies and other qualifying higher

education expenses. Find out more at

Missourimost.org.It’s never too early to start planning,

but it’s also never too late. If you’re interested in continuing your education, there are financial

aid options available. Check out

MOFastTrack.com to learn about a

new grant to help Missouri adults

earn their certificate, degree, or industry-recognized credential. It’s

never too late to be a role model.

Education Data System (IPEDS)

Kahleigha H.Ozarks Technical Community CollegeMajor: Criminal Justice“Being a first-generation college student was very scary to begin

with, but it has made every victory that much more rewarding. I have had to lean on others and trust that as I continue going to school, things will come more naturally.”

Nicole A.Missouri University ofScience & TechnologyMajor: Computer Science

& Computer Engineering“Once you find your passion, your classes will be right in your reach and you’ll see how

they relate to your future. Regardless of whether you start at a community college or a university, every field of study is a valid option as long as it fits you!”Clayton B.Mineral Area CollegeMajor: International Business“My parents encouraged me

to go to college. They believe education is one of the keys

to success. I worked closely with my parents to create

a plan that included supplies, a computer, and the courses I would take.”

Learn money management.

Pay attention in class.

Establish good habitsChoices you make now can help you succeed in high school and prepare for college. It’s important to adopt good habits early on.

Discover your interestsEnroll in classes and participate in community activities to help you decide what you like to do most. Once you know your interests, you can explore careers that match up.

Ask yourself questions, such as:

• Do you like helping people?

• �Do you like working with your hands or designing new things?

• What are your strengths?

• What classes or activities have you found especially interesting or inspiring?

Look for summer camps that relate to things you like to do. Try job shadowing or interviewing people who have jobs you find interesting. Explore all kinds of jobs to get a good feel for what you like most.

Spend time reading.

Develop study skills.

Practice time management.

Did you know? College graduates with a bachelor’s degree earn $1 million more, on average, during their lifetime than

those without a degree. Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

$1,000,000

66%Approximately 66 percent of quality jobs in Missouri are projected to require a degree or certificate by 2020.Source: Georgetown’s Center on Education and the Workforce

What counts as college?College includes professional certificates, degrees earned at technical schools, two-year community colleges, four-year universities, or through online degree programs. It all counts as college!

Why consider college?A majority of jobs today require some education beyond high school. College can open the door to more job opportunities and higher pay.

Career Day Tip SheetHow do I find speakers?Create a list of different professions and ask for volunteers in your community to participate. Consider asking teachers and staff at your school for referrals and/or contact the local chamber of commerce for assistance.

What format do I use?Depending on how many grades and classrooms you want to include in this activity, you’ll need to decide if you want to host an assembly event or ask speakers to rotate through classrooms. If rotating between classrooms, remember to allow enough time for transitions and questions.

Before Career Day• Provide a list of questions and topics to the speakers in advance. • Ask students to write down their own questions.

After Career DayHave students sign and/or create thank you cards to give to the guest speakers.

Sample Career Day Questions for Guest Speakers • Describe a typical day of work.

• Describe your job duties.

• How do you use technology in your career field?

• What school subjects, if any, do you use for your job?

• What type of education and training is needed for your profession?

• What skills are necessary for your job?

• What do you like most about your job?

• What do you like least about your job?

• How did you get interested in this career field?

• What would people be surprised to know about your job?

My First Resumé


ABC Career Challenge activity instructionsInstruct students to write a career that starts with each letter of the alphabet on the activity sheet. Once the students have completed the activity, lead a classroom discussion about the different careers listed.

Activity Options:

• This challenge can be conducted with students individually or in small groups. • Add a speed round to see who can complete their list first or see who can write down the most

careers in a certain amount of time. • Recognize students who list careers not listed by any other students.

Discussion:

Lead students in a discussion about the careers listed during the challenge.

• If there are a lot of common answers (example: doctor) ask the students to list different kinds of doctors.

• For unique careers, ask the students if that is a career any of them would be interested in pursuing and what it would take to enter that career field.

• Compare all careers on the board and ask the students if they think the careers would have similar job details, salaries, and training/college requirements.
