The Initial stage of Academic and Career Planning begins with students discovering their interest and strengths, and then guide them through career exploration and planning with constant monitoring throughout middle school and high school to restructure plans as needed. Students minds develop and mature as they receive additional knowledge, network with different individuals and are exposed to real world applications, thus their interests may change and their strengths empowered, thus I support the idea of regular check-ins to ensure that students career planning is alignment with their current strengths and interests.
I intend to apply academic career planning by introducing my students to a variety of career possibilities through their lessons, activities, and discussions. I will also demonstrate how the course I am teaching links to real world careers. For example, a technology teacher could highlight careers in engineering showing students how the tools and concepts are applied. I will also utilize websites and online courses to guide students toward valuable resources that help them learn about potential careers
Utilizing different personality baed tests and understanding your students interest can help you to curate a program that is more specifically designed for them and their future. Allowing your students to utilize their strengths and engage in learning in that specific way will be more meaningful to that student and will mean higher growth and potential from them in the future. Especially connecting it to post schooling goals that you know that student wants. Finding programs, units, or presentations that directly relate to get more buy in from your student(s).
