Minnesota Career Pathways Website

http://www.mncareerpathways.org/pathways/index.html

The Minnesota Career Pathways website was created to help Minnesota adult students create career and training plans that will prepare them for a fulfilling career. The website can prepare high school students, college students, and working adults to enter the workforce by providing them with both the academic and technical skills needed to be successful. We accomplish this by partnering with business and industry leaders, providing professional development to teachers and faculty, and connecting students to online career and college resources through our connections to local consortia.

History Live from the Minnesota Historical Society

History Live is a program from the Minnesota Historical Society that brings live historians into your classroom in a fun and interactive way.  Cost for most 45-60 minute sessions is $75 to Minnesota school districts.  Sessions are cross-curricular and aligned to the Minnesota standards for social studies.  This could be a great way to keep your students engaged in May.
