Career Education Networks and Communities of Practice

Feedback and research findings• How have our jobs changed? Shifts in roles and demands in
the roles?• More a team approach, everybodies job• Schools keep students longer because of the economic
climate• More paperwork• Introduction of Gateway• Career qualification available for career educators• An area between leaving school and getting a job – 90 day
govt recognised• More demands by the senior management that we fix the
behavioural issues, and less time to actually do that (expectations of our responding to disengaged students with creative options through pathways)
![Page 5: Pathways Cluster Hamilton 21 st September 2010](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56812e07550346895d93721a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Feedback• Two thirds of Careers Staff have been teaching for more
than 16 years• ¾ are CATE members, 27% CPANZ, 15% have Careers
related qualification• 80% have more than one role (upt o 3 or 4)• Networks? Clusters, contacts in the community, school
staff relationships, • Lots of networks are informal, rich conversations and
ideas• Centralised and decentralised networks (not all through
the hub of the Careers Advisor)
![Page 6: Pathways Cluster Hamilton 21 st September 2010](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56812e07550346895d93721a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Findings...• How do these networks work? • What are the important nodes in your networks• Each area is linked• Even with a strong lead team, the CA is paid to do the
job and most of the responsibility is perceived to be the CA
• Decentralised networks are fluid (change in emphasis on members)
• Where are our productive conversations, who do we have them with?
• They are often random, incidental contacts are key• Not facilitated through the organisation
![Page 7: Pathways Cluster Hamilton 21 st September 2010](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56812e07550346895d93721a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Findings...• Links that we make through students and family
that are an important part of the job• Decentralised networks are great for helping people
manage complex situations (lessen the pressure on us if we are the key part of a hub)
• Activity of networking is really important to us in terms of our effectiveness and professional support
• Networking is a skill set that we can develop and that we need to value as a professional activity
• Networks are shared learning opportunities, communities of practice – it could use a professional spine (Tony Watts UK)
![Page 8: Pathways Cluster Hamilton 21 st September 2010](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56812e07550346895d93721a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Findings...• There is no recipe, this is a complex role• Scripts plus ad-libbing (whilst on stage!)• General trend to recognise that Career Education is
very complex; this may give rise to an indepth perception of career education competencies (preparing people how to make decisions)
• Shifts in role+changing world+unpredictable people= career education competencies
• A set of career education competencies is being proposed by the MOE
• A way to prepare people to continue to make competent decisions throughout their lives
![Page 9: Pathways Cluster Hamilton 21 st September 2010](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56812e07550346895d93721a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Findings...• Things that are lifelong, are based around personal
competencies• Do schools do any of this? • NZC – three proposed as well as the KCs1. Developing self awareness2. Exploring opportunities3. Deciding and acting• How might these relate to other KCs and NZC?• Not formally recognised (only Careers Educators
read the Career Education Guidelines)• KCs how do these relate to our department? (Ruth)

Findings...• The moment we talk of ‘career education
competencies’ rather than ‘activities’ it becomes a very different thing; it infers deeper level of learning, makes it different kind of thing
• It this is going to work, career educators need a very different kind of role in the school, what if career management competencies got spread throughout the school “every teacher is now a careers teacher”
• What might that mean for your school?• It might make schooling more relevant• Give people a different way to think about their
subject area
![Page 11: Pathways Cluster Hamilton 21 st September 2010](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56812e07550346895d93721a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Findings...• Everyone’s got your job!• We would have to liaise with people to support them
to do their job• More time to network, seek information, the distribute
the responsibility would free us to do other things• As a teacher give us more access to who goes to STAR
etc to encourage students (using the funding)• Recognising and using the students’ interests to meet
their needs, accessing other people in the community to teach students skills
• Teachers can have concepts that getting students to NCEA level 3 is the whole job
![Page 12: Pathways Cluster Hamilton 21 st September 2010](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56812e07550346895d93721a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Findings...• Teachers may not be positive about this...people
sometimes have limited thinking about what their job is (when we change the frame this can show this up)
• There is potentially a huge leadership opportunity here...
• Common vision is a powerful thing – share a vision that they are making a difference in education
• Career management competencies are an opportunity to work on a common vision
• Draw a model of what it would take in your school to make it work?

Whole School Approach to Career Education
How do we integrate CE across the curriculum?How do we embed CE within the processes of
curriculum design in our school?

Burning Issues• Local support for Gateway has been disestablished,
support is through clusters, other schools• TEC have disestablished the investment plan?• Seniors leaving – how do we transition seniors at
this time of the year (leavers have an exit pack with a variety of information)
• Funding of students
