This workbook consists of instructional materials for teachers and counselors to use in meeting middle and high-school students' need for developing individual potential, achieving self-fulfillment, and pursuing vocational and career aspirations and effective family life. It is based on the concept of life/work planning, a discipline and a strategy that encourages students to take control of their lives and live within a world of conscious choices and maximum options.

Each module contains a rationale, objectives, a list of materials needed, and a suggested time limit for the module, as well as specific, step-by-step instructions for workshop activities and handouts. Modules 1 to 4 are intended for Grades 7 and 8, while all 10 modules are to be used in their entirety for grades 9 through 12. The materials include a total of 30 classroom periods (50 minutes each) of activities which can be used in single or double time periods.
