Explorer les possibilités! Examiner les apprentissages liés à la carrière, de la 4e à la 6e année : une boîte à outils pédagogiques

Career development is a lifelong process that begins in the early years. In elementary school, engaging in career conversations is not about getting children to make decisions about what job they will have in the future. Rather, it is a time when we ask our young learners to begin the process of investigating themselves, finding out more about their interests and aptitudes, and considering what type of life they feel they might want to lead. 

Young children are already developing skills and engaging in experiences that build their capacity for successful learning and positive, harmonious career and life outcomes. However, many elementary school teachers may not be fully aware of how their day-to-day teaching activities connect to their important role in developing these critical career-related skills and attributes with their students. Exploring Possibilities! Journeying Through Career-Related Learning in Grades 4–6: A Teaching Toolkit helps to shine a light on the value and many ways of undertaking career-related learning in elementary schools.  

Underpinned by research and data collected from educators, parents, students and industry partners, Exploring Possibilities! will help educators understand the ways that their teaching practices develop foundational career-related skills, such as healthy habits of mind and being, social and emotional skills, self-confidence and self-efficacy. The hope is that this teaching toolkit will inspire educators to go on a journey to explore the possibilities in career-related learning for children in Grades 4-6.
