E-raamat: College and Career Readiness: A Guide for School Counselors K-12

Dr. Moore-Thomas actually delivers by showing school counselors how to develop comprehensive K-12 career development strategies. Her book includes lesson plans, handouts, discussion points and resources. This is a must have guide. -- Norma L.
