Lesson Plans and Student Worksheets

Lesson Plans are ready to use for any educator leading a classroom or group student activity and are designed for 45-60 min instruction, which can also be segmented to 20-30 minute smaller lessons depending on your time with students. They include a student worksheet, additional resources, and learning extension activities for educators to adapt.

These instructional resources intentionally walk students through the career, college, and financial aid tools on CaliforniaColleges.edu to build students’ college and career knowledge. They have been designed for a recommended sequence by grade level but may also be used for instruction when using any of the tools on CaliforniaColleges.edu.
