In 2016, Cajon Valley Union School District launched a district-wide career development program called "The World of Work" (WoW). The program exposes students to career development experiences and resources so that they can develop interest in and relevant skills early on. It is informed by Social Cognitive Career Theory and other pedagogical approaches.
The program has used various technologies, such as Nepris, a cloud-based platform that connects teachers with professionals who are willing to virtually connect with students, to support their program and create access to career development opportunities. Students have been able to Skype with a female scientist in the lab as she shows them what she does each day, as well as tour a fire station. Through its partnership with Beable Education, the program also provides personalized career exposure based on a RIASEC Career Indicator assessment, independent reading lessons on careers and employability skills in both English and Spanish, differentiated by each student’s Lexile level.
Furthermore, CVUSD itself was inducted by Digital Promise into The League of Innovative Schools for its work on integrating technology into schools-- a distinction that ranks CVUSD as one of the top 73 US school districts for innovation and digital learning. CVUSD now has 1:1 laptops, 24/7 access to internet connectivity, and a robust ecosystem of digital tools and resources.
Attendees will gain an understanding of best practices and lessons learned from real-world experience with career development, especially how technology can be used to support these efforts.
The panel will have a series of questions they will discuss for half of the session; the other half will be spent on Q&A from the audience.
