演讲嘉宾 & 实地考察旅行
学生们经常问我们, “How are we supposed to know what we want to be when we grow up, 我们都不知道外面有什么?好问题! 让学生接触不同的职业, work environments and positive role models through guest speakers and field trips (or Industry Tours) is a great way to expand their knowledge of career opportunities. 除了, these career exploration experiences are a way of enhancing classroom learning by making real world connections. 作为演讲嘉宾, professionals offer a presentation about their 占领 or career in the classroom, while field trips allow this career information to be shared onsite, 在工作场所.
As students hear from guest speakers and see a variety of workplaces through field trips, 他们开始自我评估的过程. 在意识和潜意识层面, 他们开始评估他们所看到的, 听力, 闻(甚至品尝)!) compared to their own interests, values and personality styles. Not only do classroom guest speakers and workplace employer hosts provide valuable insights into the daily world of work, they also provide information about their own career paths, 教育, 伴随着错误和成功. Many career paths have been sparked by an engaging guest speaker or impactful field trip.
在初级阶段, guest speakers should include careers that are more broad, and/or have an intentional connection to the world of children. 了解制作冰淇淋的工作, 爱护动物, 或者建造一座房子, plants seeds of interest that can be developed as they age. 当学生达到更高的成绩, 实地考察更深入, addressing a larger number of career options within a company, and having career conversations that help students understand the next steps to access them.
演讲嘉宾和为什么要邀请他们
Hosting guest speakers in the classroom (or virtually) is an effective and low-cost career awareness activity. Through a brief presentation (typically 20 - 30 minutes) students learn about the speaker’s career path, 占领, 和行业. 的y are encouraged to ask questions to help determine whether the 占领 may be a “good fit” for them. 为满足特定的学习成果而设计的, 演讲嘉宾不仅扩大了学生的选择范围, they can also connect school curriculum to the workplace.
教师应该邀请演讲嘉宾的原因

实地考察旅行
“Going on a field trip to a cultural institution may [be] . . . like looking through a window into a broader world filled with different people and ideas.——阿肯色大学教授杰伊·格林. In the article “的 Research Based Case for 实地考察旅行”, Mr. Greene lays out the case of why these experiences make a difference.
的 same is true for field trips to hospitals, fire departments, manufacturing companies and banks. Many teachers are including service learning as part of their field trip goals. When students are given the opportunity to leave their school and visit a new place in person, 它激活了他们的思维, 让他们看到新的可能性. 学生受到启发. 职业发展的种子已经埋下.
实地考察需要时间、金钱和同伴的支持. 但它们是值得的. We have included some additional resources to encourage teachers, 和父母, 让他们的学生进入工作环境.
开始的想法
Conduct a quick survey with parents/guardians to explore what resources they already have available. 的y can help facilitate a field trip to their place of employment or may have access to a network of people that can help. Many companies have their own goals around student engagement, 所以一定要向你的父母/监护人寻求帮助.
