The document discusses career development in schools and introduces the WA Guidelines for Career Development and Transitions. It provides an overview of the guidelines' key principles which emphasize a whole-school approach to career development for all students. An audit and planning tool is also introduced which is designed to help schools implement career development programs and services based on the guidelines. The tool assesses five key areas and can be used to plan outcomes, actions, and timelines for career development initiatives.

Editor's Notes
- #15 It is important that teachers realise that what is being asked of them is not additional work that places further demands on their own, or their students’, time. In most cases, making explicit the links between the content of subject learning and the future aspirations of students adds to the relevance of learning, increases motivation and provides a focus for students. Can’t do it alone. Committee: advisory or steering. Chair / leader / coordinator: provides overall leadership coordinate the whole school approcah. Someone with genuine interest and time Maybe involve a community member or link to a community group (LCP) Need to involve administrators to facilitate support This will assist in all learning areas to take ownership of this new culture and therefore not leave it up to one learning area to manage. 2004: I had an assistant 1/day per week assisting with SWL (80 students) 2005: New assistant 2/days per week SWL / VET (90 students) / commenced a “Careers & Transition” team (Dep, me, psych, assistant 2006: Assistant 2/days per week SWL/VET/work exp all facets of careers / careers team in full swing, managed the audit etc. 2007: as 2006, incorporated the yr 10 prac program team leader (new position of resp removed from a Form class: 2 periods: 0.08FTE) Identify the need for PD (link to CEAWA, AACC, other forums… I’d like to start some) Activity 21 – What sort of Staff Development that maybe required in the school. – Brainstorm In groups of 8 – Brainstorm write ideas on butchers paper. Display around room. Then select 1 person from each group to summarise their ideas. Bluetac and sticky tape/ Butchers papers, markers.
- #16 Embedding Career Competencies (ABCD) Needs assessment Identify needs of students / school. Provides a basis for selecting / implementing activities. Critical to allocate funds / time to conduct this. Brainstorming / surveys… Needs analysis : for students. Plan what instrument you might use to identify their current exposure they have had to career competencies ( try to reduce overlap and repetition ) and therefore determining areas you wish to target. How can you determine past exposure to career competencies ?How do you determine areas of need to focus on? Section Two and Section Three (for teachers) and for students (in file) I found that some eg’s were needed to make the survey understandable (see maz career audit tool) Activity 22: Activity to familiarise with competencies: complete section 2 / 3. Use my elaborated phrases from maz audit Using information collated from survey instruments, you can gather a picture of the amount of exposure students have to the competencies. Connection Consider other programs within school. The blueprint can be used to as an organiser for current programs in schools (avoid duplication) ( Key idea ) Audit current activity : Identify competencies that learning areas address without changing anything. Adapt the 11 Career Competencies in a nutshell. (look at maz learning area audit tool) There is more than you will expect. Teachers will then feel that they have a part to play in Career Development. Activity 23: Learning area audit tool
