  1. Cape Cod Whale Watching hat Implementing Career Exploration Lori Beza Sayles School of Fine Arts Schenectady High School

  2. Classroom teacher 10th grade team leader Transition Committee member High School Transition Curriculum creator Like you, I have many hats Implementing Career Exploration and Planning will be Easier with some Hats than others

  3. Classroom teacher The easy place to implement career exploration and planningis my classroom • Schedule days in library to use Career Zone & create a career plan • Point out social studies skills that are transferable – as we learn them • Build a relationship with my students by knowing their career plan

  4. High School Transition Curriculum creator Another easy implementation is ‘Transition’ curriculum • Sell what we already do at ‘New Teacher’ orientation with new facts from DOL1 • Update materials • add what is missing • Have students put materials in a portfolio • Store them somewhere (this seems like a monumental undertaking – I have to reach out to guidance to see what is already being done) • Links for websites

  5. 1One way to ‘sell it’ • Ask teachers to imagine a student they had in the past who: • Has a strong idea of what they want to be when they grow up’ and • Has a realistic idea of how to reach that goal • How does he/she compare with other students in terms of: • Preparation for class • Behavior • achievement

  6. 10th grade team leader Implementing in my 10th Grade ‘Team’ road blocks1. other teachers have to agree2. we are already very busy ‘aha’ moment here . . . • What we already do: • Convene team meetings for students who are having academic, attendance or behavior problems • How its working: • Meetings are time consuming & ineffective

  7. 10th grade team leader What we could do: • For each struggler • Have them create a career plan during a team meeting or with their guidance counselor • Make sure all team teachers know their plan (relationship building) • connect the skills from their studies to the plan (keeping it real & connecting to their lives) • Action Plan Step One: discuss with my teammates in September

  8. Transition Committee member Dream implementation • Get things going at different grade levels • Action plan step one: Get on agenda of committee meeting in September • Middle school license for “The Real Game” • Online career folders beginning in 7th or 8th • Get the idea out in the elementary schools that this is when career dreams are happening & students need more exposure to diverse fields
