Building Futures infuses career education into a teacher's academic curriculum with easy-to-use lesson plans and informative resources for each grade level.

Manuals are divided into six core subject areas: Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, Health & Physical Education, and Art & Music. Subjects are approached through the concept of multiple intelligences, and the manual provides activities to recognize and develop student competency for each.

This book creates an understanding of the importance of integrating career education into the daily science curriculum for high school students. Such activities that assist in this process are – Genetic Counselor, Location, Location!, “Person of the Century”, Environmental Quality Survey, Recovery, Values and Science Careers, The Multiple Intelligences, Job Snowballs, Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Cloning, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), News Article Project, Diet Right, Statistics and My Brain.

In addition to creative lesson plans, each spiral-bound manual contains a chart of 125 occupations, organized into 25 career clusters with descriptions of tasks, skills required, and salary ranges. There is also a calendar with career-related events, and numerous website addresses for teachers and students to explore.
