The career exploration booklet in the Room to Grow series is intended for use in the fifth and sixth grades. Its purpose is to motivate each student to investigate the self and to become aware of and develop individual potentials and abilities. The booklet may also supplement career development activities in other grades. Each student should have their own copy, and each page of the booklet should be developed and extended by teacher and student activities. The trait-factor theory is utilized to assist the student in becoming aware of individual interests, areas of competency, aspirations, and preferences for working with people, data, things, or ideas.
