Description
Gifted students often cannot decide which careers are best for them. This presentation provides teachers and parents of adolescents with the means of guiding them in the use of biographies to identify careers that maximize their talents and fit their interests. The presenters give tips for finding appropriate resources and demonstrate strategies students can use to identify traits, skills, dispositions, and experiences that led eminent individuals to their chosen careers. Also, the presenters show how students can use this information to determine actions they can take to strengthen the likelihood of success in their chosen career.
