Get to know The DeBruce Foundation’s K-12 Career Literacy Resources
The K-12 Career Literacy resources provide educators, career counselors, and parents with support to prepare youth for bright future careers.
These resources are available for free as part of The DeBruce Foundation’s charitable mission. They include 90+ ready-to-use lesson plans!
Through The DeBruce Foundation’s Agilities framework, students explore their skills, understand their strengths and interests, and learn how to use them for their future careers.
Explore the Agilities for Elementary
Learning about the Agilities is a great foundation for students of any age. In the elementary levels, students learn the names of each Agility and gain awareness of the skills they use in the classroom, at home, and in their community. This understanding builds confidence in their abilities and sets the foundation for future success!
Meet the Agilities
Introduce elementary students to the Agilities through fun, engaging videos! Each video in this series features an overview of an Agility, how that Agility can help at school or home or a future job, and how to practice using that Agility.
These videos are part of the Agilities for Elementary Sample Resources and are also available on the Agilities Kids YouTube channel
