What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students match occupations with the abilities and knowledge used in each role. They explain why a specific skill helps someone complete that work.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can identify several skills needed for a given occupation and support each choice with a job task. They can also spot skills shared across occupations.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may confuse a skill with a tool, such as naming a hammer instead of hand coordination. They may think each occupation uses only one skill or that skills cannot transfer between jobs.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Choose one occupation, list two skills it requires, and explain how each skill helps complete a specific task.
