Fortunately, with advances in technology and employers hungry for the skills that teachers hone through their everyday routines, educators who wish to exit the classroom now have viable, fulfilling options for alternative employment. If you've honestly lost the will to return to your classroom, it's important for you-and perhaps more important for students-that you settle down with this short book and think through your options. After reading the author's perspective, you may find that teaching in the classroom is still the best fit for you. Or not. Either way, you'll have some guidance for your next steps toward fulfillment in your chosen career.Bestselling novelist Michelle Stimpson has taught English and math in public elementary, middle, and high schools. She endured both confusion and a sense of loss when she walked away from the system many of us have been in since pre-school.

Download or read book Integrating Careers Into Your Classroom written by Bonnie-Marie Doughty-Jenkins and published by Green Heart Living Press. This book was released on 2021-04-10 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What prepares a graduating high school student for meaningful work as they enter adulthood? Conventional wisdom from the last several decades has stressed a direct pipeline into higher education. Should this be considered the gold standard and best practice? Make no mistake, there is great value in a college education. However, a laser focus on moving students from traditional high school models into the halls of higher learning has permeated our culture, and driven the conversations in countless guidance counselor offices, perhaps to the detriment of not only individual students, but our economy and ability to compete in a global market as well. In this wide-ranging exploration of the value of integrating careers such as manufacturing and traditional blue collar jobs into classroom experiences, author Dr. Bonnie-Marie Doughty-Jenkins tackles the value and definition of post-high school education. From exploring our cultural history and norms around college bound guidance, to diving into the perhaps unintended outcome of a wide gap in the skilled labor workforce, you'll be inspired to think both deeply and broadly about what our focus on education means for students as individuals, and the nation as a whole. In the end, there is a simple question to be posed, and an answer to be drawn: Do students need to go to college to have a successful career? No. Do they need to be educated? Yes! There is a clear difference between college and education. To be educated means to be schooled in the information you need to be a successful critical thinker and meaningful participation in society. And it is never a one size fits all mold. Dive into this book to learn how you can more effectively guide the students in your care to a meaningful future - no matter which path they take.

Download or read book Career and College Readiness and Success for All Students written by Becky Smerdon and published by Research on High School and Beyond. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans no longer question whether and which students should be prepared for college. Rather, it is now widely accepted that ALL students should be prepared for postsecondary education in some form (e.g., certificate, 2- or 4-year degree), as these credentials are not only required for many jobs but are also the surest path to upward mobility (Carnevale, Rose, Cheah, 2011). There is also greater recognition that in addition to a more traditional approach to preparation for postsecondary education (e.g., taking college preparatory classes), students should also graduate high school with technical knowledge and employability skills to secure, retain, and advance their employment when they leave school, at whatever level that may be. Simply put, today's high school graduates need a broad-based education that combines an array of knowledge, skills, and experiences to prepare them for life after high school. And indeed, state's definitions of college and career readiness have broadened in recent years to include a variety of skills and dispositions, such as critical thinking skills, social emotional skills such as collaboration, and interpersonal skills such as resilience and perseverance (English, Rasmussen, Cushing, & Therriault, 2016). The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, the key federal K-12 legislation, explicitly supports the notion of a "well-rounded" student, emphasizing readiness in areas beyond its predecessor's (the No Child Left Behind Act, or NCLB) focus on core academic content. ESSA mandates that states ensure that students are provided an enriched, accelerated curriculum beyond courses and content areas in which state assessments are given (e.g., mathematics, reading) and that is aligned with the postsecondary experiences students are likely to encounter. ESSA also supports an expansion of readiness goals through provisions for the improvement of conditions for student learning that support social-emotional learning, intrapersonal skills, and other employability skills. And ESSA includes provisions in states' accountability systems that support emphasis on broader definitions of readiness. Additionally, ESSA's accountability framework includes important principles for supporting a broader definition of what students need to know and be able to do once they graduate high school. Accountability systems under ESSA may include multiple measures of college and career readiness. Indeed, several states had already added a career-focused indicator prior to ESSA passing (such as pathway completion or technical assessment achievement) to their accountability systems, and the number of states publicly reporting such indicators continues to increase (Achieve & AdvanceCTE, 2016). As definitions and measures of college and career readiness continue to evolve, we know one thing for sure: we need to better prepare ALL students for success after high school. This book explores the ways in which some education researchers are approaching this task.
