Teaching Points

Grades K-2: A veterinary technician is an important community helper and all children usually have pets or are familiar with taking animals to the vet. As a part of a unit on the zoo, discuss a veterinary technician ability to work with exotic animals.

 

Grades 3-5: Anything that involves animals and their care is a great way to mention this career.

 

Grades 6-8: When studying animal systems, introduce veterinary technician as a possible career choice.  This is an alternative to nursing for those students love working with animals but have an interest in body systems.
