Educators

Overview of Role

Learners should be supported to pursue their career pathway aspirations. As a classroom teacher, you provide Tier 1 instruction for Hopeful Transitions. What you do, what possibilities you offer your learners, and the way you choose to do this may shape the choices that young people make. You can be a positive career influencer through the links you make to embed career connected learning in your subject area every day. Career is everyone’s responsibility, and your learners need you to enhance the quantity and quality of their career connections. Select learning activities and resources that provide guidance about career pathways, assist your learners in understanding the opportunities available to them, and document this learning in their Career Life Plan.
