Submitted by @dmin on Wed, 25/08/2021 - 14:44

As teachers, you are playing a key role in the shaping of the career paths of your students. A recent leaflet by Education Services Australia (Hooley, 2021) gives a synthetic overview of the roles you can take in supporting them. It describes four types of contributions that you can have: be a role model, be willing to talk, make links to careers in your teaching and contribute to the career education programme.

After consulting this leaflet, please share your reflections regarding how prepared you feel in fulfilling these roles. Which of them do you do regularly? Which of them present some challenges? What type of support do you need to be better prepared?
