  • Incorporate both formal and informal approaches: constantly bring career awareness in your activities and do not keep it as a separate unit.
  • Help students see scientists as real people: students may have difficulty imagining themselves as scientists because they cannot see that scientists have a normal life, just like them. 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, or giving examples of how they connect to scientific jobs. The student will not always be capable of making these connections himself, and you will have to do it for him.
  • Embed reflection: To make sure that information sticks with students, embed some reflection to drive a deeper understanding. Otherwise, a lot of the information can be lost over time if reflection is not used to “glue” it.

  • - Build shared purpose: The leader develops a shared organisational vision and assures that the vision is “lived out” in the daily work of educators.
    Example: Providing a strong curriculum with a focus on science, technology, mathematics and entrepreneurship, for advanced secondary levels.
  • - Focus on learning: The leader develops and maintains student access to suitable, strong instructional programs focused on academic excellence and social-emotional development.
    Example: Developing instructional programs focused on STEM learning activities.
  • - Manage organisational resources: The leader acts strategically and systematically to create safe and supportive conditions for better teaching and learning by aligning financial and human resources or data, among other things.
    Example: Organising monthly meetings with teachers in order to discuss STEM activities.
  • - Collaborate with community: The leader makes sure that parents and community organisations are engaged with the school.
    Example: Finding mentors who will share their STEM expertise with students. They will play a critical role in helping students turn their passion and creativity into doable action plans.
  • - Lead with integrity: The leader models professionalism by acting with integrity and making his or her learning “visible”.
    Example: Creating an atmosphere of open communication can help implement the STEM vision in a school.
