Having fun exploring the RIASEC model these first few weeks of school. Even trying to integrate more RIASEC themes into our @SDSU_CGIpdc story problems to build more context and connections! @CVWorldofWork @NarancaMustangs

Students learned the role of a real estate agent, built mini homes using measurement standards, researched the community of El Cajon on Zillow to make an ad for their home, and then made a sales pitch for “clients”I’m so proud of their hard work! @NarancaMustangs @CVWorldofWork

Seeing students make connections across their learning is one of the best parts of being a teacher. Thank you @OCDEProjectGLAD for strategies that allow ELL students to make these connections during our summer school ocean life unit! @CajonValleyUSD
