Student Testimonials

"The Get Real Game helped me think about and plan for the first few years after high school, and even next year in grade 12. I was pretty stressed. I'm still a little nervous, but now I'm ready to move on, and I'm excited" (12th Grade Student)

"I hadn't thought much about all the gateways from high school. It was a good way to get a clear idea of our options and what is ahead of us. More subjects should be taught this way." (11th Grade Student)

"I learned that making good choices makes you feel good about yourself, and gives you confidence that you will be able to manage transitions in real life." (11th Grade Student)

"By taking on roles, we could experiment with choices without being embarrassed, feeling bad or really risking anything, This also made it fun, not just another course. Kids who don't get a chance to do this could make mistakes they'll regret." (12th Grade Student)

"I learned a lot is going to happen in the first few years after I leave high school, and the decisions I make at each step will effect the rest of my life. I need to take my career choices seriously to build the life I dream of. (12th Grade Student)

Career Counselors

"The Get Real Game brings career and transition issues to center stage in the school in a way no text, presentation, or counseling session ever could. The key is allowing students to "experience" the simulation of realistic scenarios in their post high schools year. It's fun and beneficial for all, including the educators themselves!" (High School Career Coordinator)

"The Get Real Game has subject teachers involved with the career concerns of their students like never before. Finally, I'm getting their help in dealing with the career planning needs of the 800 students for whom I'm responsible!" (Counselor)

Teacher Testimonials

"This is the best resource I have seen to help students explore their post-high school options, and develop realistic plans they actually want to execute. Bravo!"(12th Grade Teacher)

"I wasn't sure how to connect what I was teaching in the classroom to real world working scenarios, especially when students asked me, "What will I need this for?" With The Get Real Game, my students are answering this question for themselves. I've never seen anything like it!" (11th Grade Teacher)

"This program is the glue we've been missing. We've had one or more career courses for several years, and we have good career resource in print, video, and computer format. We even have access to new resources on the Internet. With The Get Real Game, all of these now hang together in new ways that make more sense to students and teachers." (12th Grade Teacher)

"My students were challenged by and enjoyed The Get Real Game. It touched them in ways most classes aren't able to. They are now more committed to doing well in all of their courses." (12th Grade Teacher)
