Career Exploration in the Middle Grades
Rating
0.0 stars

The middle grades are a natural time for self-exploration and self-directed learning. The concrete ideas presented in this guide for how to infuse career exploration in both developmentally and academically meaningful ways are exciting for the opportunity they provide to transform the way educators approach schooling in the middle grades. Whereas educators sometimes associate career education as a narrower, vocational curriculum, this playbook highlights ASA’s more expansive view of career exploration – an opening up of students’ worlds rather than a narrowing into particular tracks.

Episode 22 Lessons In Adolescence Podcast Quick Listens
Rating
0.0 stars

These two Quick Listens are from Episode 22 in Season 2 of the Lessons in Adolescence podcast. Listen to more where ever you get your podcast or online at: https://education.virginia.edu/faculty-research/centers-labs-projects/youth-nex/remaking-middle-school/youth-nex-rms-podcast-page

This episode features a conversation with three authors of “Career Exploration in the Middle Grades: A Playbook for Educators,” which was developed in partnership between the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE) and American Student Assistance (ASA). Stephanie Simpson is CEO of Columbus, Ohio-based AMLE, which represents tens of thousands of middle level educators across the country and offers a variety of resources, training and convenings for the field. Ashley Hemmy is manager of program engagement at Boston-based ASA, a 60 year-old national nonprofit and student loan guarantor organization which has expanded its mission to develop and invest in resources and tools to help students as early as middle school to explore their long-term career and educational goals. Julie DiPilato is a seventh grade science teacher in Barnstable, Massachusetts, where she developed an array of career exploration programming in her school.

Stephanie, Ashley, Julie and Jason talk about the career exploration playbook, how it came about, why career exploration is a perfect match for young adolescents and where it fits within schools. They then paint a picture of what career exploration looks like in the middle grades, how educators can use it to enhance their teaching, the ways AMLE and ASA are promoting the larger scale adoption of this practice, and the opportunities for career exploration in the field of education long-term.

Rating

Districts in the initiating phase of Academic and Career Planning are increasingly looking for a suggested calendar of ACP activities that can be used to fulfill the PI26 requirements for ACP. The following example calendar of activities can be a place to start. In the chart you’ll find:

* One 30-minute ACP time per month
* Activities which align to the Xello scope and sequence (which means alignment with high school suggested scope and sequence)
* Introduction to other online career research resources
* Some Xello interactive lessons which require students to save careers or interests as prerequisites--please follow the lessons in this order to have the correct prerequisites completed before the Xello lessons
* Struggling students may need additional time to complete activities, while accelerated students can choose from the optional activities for each grade if they complete the activity before class is done
* Optional activities which can be used for enrichment
