Plan Ahead: A Powerful Capstone for Your Career Choices Course

As you plan your curriculum for the year, consider building in the Student Testimonial Video Project as a powerful capstone experience. Designed to be completed toward the end of the course, this reflective assignment invites students to create a 1–2 minute video sharing how the Career Choices series has shaped their goals, decisions, and mindset. Along the way, they strengthen communication, storytelling, and self-confidence—skills that will serve them in college, career, and beyond. With everything you need provided—lesson plan, rubric, and permission forms—it’s easy to add to your course plan now and implement later.
