Help Students Discover Who They Are (and Why It Matters)

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Middle school is the perfect time to help students start thinking about who they are, what they’re good at, and where they might want to go.

And no, they don’t need to choose a career right now—but they do benefit from time to reflect on their interests, values, and strengths. That’s where Career Education really shines.

Tip of the Week: Start Career Ed with Self-Discovery

Before diving into jobs or post-secondary paths, take time to build a foundation:

Use self-assessments to explore personality and learning styles
Reflect on personal interests, goals, and challenges
Normalize not knowing yet—Career Ed is about possibilities, not pressure

Many middle school students struggle to move beyond “I think this because…” and into structured, evidence-based writing. Here’s a simple teacher tip I’ve found effective: 👉 Use the “O-I-Q” strategy with artifacts or issues. Have students Observe, then Infer, then Question before they even start drafting. This quick routine pushes them to notice details, make claims, and ask deeper...

A Practical Inquiry Hook for Social Studies

Hi Reader, One of my favourite ways to hook students at the start of a Social Studies unit is through artifact analysis. Instead of beginning with a lecture or reading, I give students an image of an artifact connected to an ancient civilization and let curiosity lead the way. Here’s a simple routine you can try tomorrow: Observe – What do you notice? (Facts only, no guesses yet!) Infer – What might this artifact have been used for? Question – What does this make you wonder about the people...

A simple strategy to strengthen student writing

Reasoning – Finally, they explain how their evidence supports their claim. This simple...
