They have hobbies, families and various interests. Connect the dots: It is not enough to just expose students to career information, the teacher also has to directly connect career information with whatever the student is learning at that moment. This can refer to making clear connections to the real-life use of subjects, to giving examples of how it connects to jobs of scientists. The student will not be always capable of making these connections themselves, and you will have to do that for him. Embed reflection: To make sure that information sticks with students, and to drive a deeper understanding. Otherwise, a lot of the information can be lost over time if reflection is not used to “glue” it. aysegulmer https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/258144165 2018-05-04 19:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/258144165 1. Tutorial roles Career informant: In this role, teachers provide students with a model, an approach of thinking about a career, and help students shape their own way to view career choices by using their own experience as an example, but without offering it as the only way to do this. The report lists some tasks that a teacher in this role might perform: “talking about their decisions and how they made them, talking about their career-building (including discussing challenges and regrets”, and many more.Pastoral support: This refers to the teacher as a first contact point for students, who may approach him/her with conversations they need to have with a trusted adult. These can be related purely to career choices / guidance, and sometimes they may appear related to careers, but in reality the issue the students are having may be, for example, health-related. In this role, the teacher helps the students in line with his/her capabilities, but also directs the students to other professionals who can help. A task the teacher can perform in this role: “acting as facilitator and advocate for students to help them to have career conversations with other staff, parents and employers.” 2. Teaching roles Within-subject: In this role, the teacher has two opportunities to provide CEL: within or beside the curriculum. For some subjects, it may be more straightforward to discuss careers (e.g., Economics or Politics versus Physiscs, where more direct connections have to be made), and teaching approaches can also vary. If career information has to be provided outside the curriculum (e.g. STEM subjects), then the report proposes a team-teaching approach, involving employers and other enrichment activities. Some tasks teachers can perform in this role: “explaining to pupils the progression routes open in continued learning in their subject area, using the curriculum to develop core employability skills”, “arranging visits to relevant workplaces”, “organising a programme of visiting speakers from business”.Delivering CEL: This role refers to the teacher being involved, where it is possible and where it exists (as it depends on the curriculum set-up), in CEL as a separate, standalone subject of the curriculum. A task teachers can perform in this role: “contributing particular CEL inputs related to subject expertise”. 3. Leadership roles Leading CEL: A teacher leading CEL can have a teaching background or not, but s/he needs to be familiar with and be able to coordinate various stakeholders involved in providing CEL to the school. Therefore, a teacher in this role would be someone in a middle leader position, and a career co-ordinator / careers leader / head of careers. Senior leadership: This role is normally taken up by a member of the school’s senior leadership team. In this role, the person would “connect CEL to the school’s mission and ethos, identify resourcing for CEL programmes, appointing and managing the school career’s leader” and other tasks. aysegulmer https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/258149073 2018-05-04 19:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/258149073 Role of teachers in career counsellingRead pages 20-28 from the study presented above and reflect on the following: Which roles do you use actively, which do you use less and why?

  • Tackle gender stereotypes with parents. Make sure they encourage girls and boys equally and, when possible, challenge any possible stereotypes they may be harbouring.
  • Help parents see their children’s experiments and curiosity as a natural scientific attitude. Encourage them to be tolerant and welcoming in that curiosity, and to let their children explore, regardless of the mess they may be making at home: noise, breaking, pulling apart things.
  • Facilitate the involvement of parents in their children's STEM activities. Inform them of activities they can do together with their children, events in which they can participate together and activities they can put in practice at home to foster their children’s interests in STEM. 
  • Financial constraints in a household can be an impediment to parents' exposing their children to science opportunities – in a lot of cases, it will be up to you as a teacher to take extra steps to inform students and give them extra guidance for these opportunities.  
  • Finally, remember to practice what you preach. If parents do not see you putting into practice what you tell them to do, they will not be convinced!

In this regard, seven common patterns were identified among Member States. At one end of the spectrum, the ‘Nordic’ and ‘Apprenticeship’ (Austria and Germany) models are characterised by a more rapid transition to adulthood and a quicker transition from school to work. At the other end of the spectrum, in the ‘Eastern European’ and ‘Mediterranean’ models, difficult and problematic school-to-work transitions are associated with very slow and late transitions to independence and autonomy.”]]> 2018-05-14 17:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/260567984 How can you search for these kinds of programmes?

  • Check out which are some of the big industry or corporate players in your town/city/country.
  • Usually, they should have a department/area of their organisation allocated towards Corporate Social Responsibility (for example, Amgen has the Amgen Foundation, which offers the Amgem Scholars programme) or a section on Careers, which almost always provides assistance to students/graduates who might be interested in a job with that company (like Microsoft for example). This information should normally be available on the company’s website.
  • See what types of activities they provide: these can be live ones, like trainings or workshops at their headquarters or live webinars. If they offer extracurricular study programmes (like an Academy) see what their aims, objectives, conditions and timeline are.
  • Facilitate the connection with your students, either in one-on-one discussions, in the classroom, or by directing your students to that website

  • Non-involvement: In some circumstances, job shadowing limits the involvement of the trainee/student to observation and does not allow the student to contribute to the work efforts. Moreover, job shadowing does not always provide students/trainees with an understanding of the responsibility or specific skills needed in the workplace. 
  • Distortions: The success of job shadowing will depend on the professional selected “to be shadowed”. The time selected for shadowing can also create distortions, as it can provide inadequate understanding of the level of difficulty and/or of the necessary engagement. 
  • Timing: Job shadowing will usually take place during a limited period. This brief exposure can cause the student shadowing to miss out key work challenges that may not occur during the time of the placement.  
  • Supervision: To ensure an effective experience, students will need to be supervised and mentored, which can be very time consuming for the professionals.
  • Disruption: Job shadowing can disrupt the smooth functioning of working environments, in different ways. The professional, conscious of being observed, might behave differently than normal, which can affect the quality of output. Another related inherent risk, from an organisational point of view, is the student getting to know confidential information of a particular organization. 
  • Other challenges might relate to the lack of space or of other infrastructure to accommodate interns or the work schedule incompatibilities that may not match students’ availabilities.

  • Mass appeal: Unless tailored to a specific field, career fairs might feature professionals from a wide range of businesses or fields, making it difficult for attendees to adapt the visit to their needs. 
  • Limited quality time: A career fair is usually loud and crowded, leaving little quality time or space for effective interaction between students and professionals. This context can prove challenging for students to communicate, ask questions and network.
  • Organisational costs: STEM career fairs require a high budget, extensive time and a lot of personnel to organise.

  • Technological glitches: While technology provides students with a variety of new ways of connecting, technical glitches constitute a disadvantage for networking and effective communication.
  • Digital divide: Not all students might have direct access to a digital device. Therefore, virtual job fairs might not ensure equal access to all pupils. 
  • Visual elements: The interaction between students and professionals might appear to be limited or superficial, since there is no face-to-face contact. 
  • Inertia about new technologies: Students and/or professionals may be apprehensive about learning to use a new digital tool.

  • Students might have difficulty attending career talks if these clash with their school/study scheduling.
  • Professionals might lack the skills to share their work in a specific field in an appealing, engaging manner. This can result in students becoming disinterested or detached.
  • It might be difficult to convince professionals from a wide range of fields to conduct STEM career talks. Therefore, students might only be exposed to a limited range of options.

The aim is to close the gap between industry and education sectors, to raise pupils and teachers’ awareness on STEM careers and to promote STEM jobs.Check out these two booklets: one addressed to schools and one addressed to companies. These booklets are based on the framework of the “Professionals go back to school” initiative. aysegulmer https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/260606043 2018-05-14 18:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/260606043 Useful tipCheck out the toolkit Organising a Girls-in-ICT-Day event, which provides ideas and tips for organising a successful Girls-in-ICT-Day event. While the toolkit has a specific target, it provides very useful information on different types of events activities, such as hands-on workshops and activities; open days at an ICT company or other institutions; competitions and prizes; ICT career fairs and meetings with female role models. aysegulmer https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/260606222 2018-05-14 18:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/260606222 Career exhibitions provide static displays with information related to different STEM careers. While they are a nice option for showing specific evidence, they often lack the human factor, which can make them less engaging. Nonetheless, when set up in conjunction with other initiatives (such as career talks or event fairs) these exhibitions can be an interesting option to support STEM career engagement. aysegulmer https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/260606366 2018-05-14 18:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/260606366 aysegulmer https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/265813641 2018-06-06 07:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/265813641 aysegulmer https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/265814400 2018-06-06 07:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/265814400 aysegulmer https://padlet.com/aysegulmer/fbymhh8pckds/wish/303491632 Hi, I'm a science teacher.
