Launch
Launch
Students will launch the career readiness project by exploring their strengths and interests, examining realistic workplace scenarios tied to speaking up and making decisions, and setting up the first artifacts for their Personal Career Portfolio and investigation work.
Days 1 - 3
Launch Mystery
Launch Mystery
Students will investigate a realistic workplace mystery, generate and refine investigable questions, examine evidence from scenarios and communication artifacts, and draft an evidence-based hypothesis about how self-advocacy, problem solving, and decision making should work in that situation.
Days 4 - 9
Plan Evidence
Plan Evidence
Students will design and test a credible plan for gathering evidence from workplace scenarios by deciding what to observe, how to document responses and outcomes, and how to strengthen reliability through peer critique, revision, and checkpoint feedback before beginning full simulation data collection.
Days 10 - 15
Collect Scenario Data
Collect Scenario Data
Students will run workplace simulations, collect traceable evidence from their responses, document feedback and revisions in their toolkit, and build a reliable data set for later pattern analysis about self-advocacy, problem solving, decision making, and workplace behavior.
Days 16 - 21
Analyze Patterns
Analyze Patterns
Students will analyze evidence from workplace simulations by organizing data, creating visual displays, testing interpretations with peers, and identifying patterns, strengths, and anomalies that inform revisions to their self-advocacy/problem-solving toolkit and Personal Career Portfolio.
Days 22 - 27
Defend Toolkit Findings
Defend Toolkit Findings
Students will turn their investigation results into evidence-based conclusions, name limitations in their scenario data, refine their self-advocacy/problem-solving toolkit and Personal Career Portfolio through critique, and prepare for partner-facing portfolio defense conversations before the final showcase phase.
Days 28 - 32
Showcase
Showcase
Students will present their completed Personal Career Portfolio and self-advocacy/problem-solving toolkit to an authentic audience, use feedback to strengthen how they explain evidence of readiness, and reflect on how their strengths, decisions, and workplace behaviors connect to future employment goals.
