National Career Development Month

The career development component of the school counseling program needs to be highly visible in the school.  This is my bulletin board for this month to emphasize exploring a variety of careers at the elementary level.  The top half of the board is a collage of a wide variety of careers. We do career development activities all year round, not just during career development month.  The counselors "teach" at least 2 formal lessons on careers (we teach 10 total) but we also have career visitors in all our kindergarten through second grades (at least 6 a year).  The classroom teachers use parent volunteers to talk about their careers (they take the place of a parent reader slot in grades 1 and 2).  In grades 3-5 we do about 3 career cafes a month.  The volunteers are scheduled using Sign Up Genius.

  1. This a very personal journey of survival and healing, I hope to inspire and give insights. I was adopted as an infant into a family. I was one years old when the adoption process was complete and I went home to live with them. Great post, I appreciate you and I would like to read your next post. Thanks for sharing this useful information.Counselling Sevenoaks
