The Real Game Series helps educators address the NYS Education Department's Learning Standards and helps make learning fun!" Included on the NY site are:- connections between the outstanding NY CIDS Career Zone and The Real Game Series

Like the New York CRN, the California Career Resource Network (CalCRN) has added California-specific information to the Web site. To view California's information, click here. Note that CalCRN has created the California Real Game Training Academy (CRGTA), comprised of trainers with backgrounds in career and/or school counseling. After being introduced to the Real Game Series, the CRGTA trainers realized the positive potential these educational/career development programs can have on students and adults throughout California. So CRGTA makes training available for counselors, educators and career practitioners statewide in California. Please Note: If you feel it would be useful to have local Real Game Series information (i.e., links to your state educational standards, a local training calendar, etc.) for your state of territory, please let your CRN Director know. If there is sufficient interest, and if local resources permit, NLWC will be pleased to provide free content management service so your CRN can enter and maintain the type of relevant, local information you need.FUTURE ARTICLES
