  • Join to access all included materials

Teach young learners that they can have any job they want, no matter their gender! An elementary lesson emphasizes that while some jobs may be more closely associated with men or with women, people of either gender can complete them. After a brief discussion about a variety of careers, pupils come to the conclusion that gender does not dictate what job they can have in the future.
