"Exploring Life and Career is an introductory, comprehensive text of short, easy-to-follow lessons designed to help young teens learn about themselves and develop personal success skills. Included are topics such as interactions with others, health issues such as vaping, food and clothing, and career options. Age-appropriate social issues, particularly those involved with technology and sustainability, are addressed. All 16 national Career Clusters are summarized with the other work-related content. The eighth edition includes a new chapter on money management, updated information on the new dietary guidelines for Americans, modern technologies, implementation of inclusive language, and enhanced online teacher resources formatted for Google Classroom. Special features relate content to academic skills, financial literacy, health and safety, the environment, or community involvement. Updated hands-on FCCLA projects correlated with changes to FCCLA national programs and STAR competitive events, helping students build leadership skills and prepare for events. An appendix on self-care describes situations students may face when left without adult supervision, providing an outlet for discussion and guidance. Correlated to FCS National Standards 3.0 and introductory AAFCS Pre-PAC competencies so that students can work toward an industry-recognized credential as they progress through additional FCS courses."--Publisher's website.
