What Can You Do As A Teacher? As educators, our top priority is our students. It is important that our students understand how their education is connected to their future. A great way to make the connection is to always answer the students’ question: “Why do I need to know this?” Intergrate real-world examples into your teaching to help students see the connection between various careers and what they learn in the classroom Help your students develop needed, high-level academic, technical and work behavior knowledge and skills for success in their personal career choice Assist students and their parents in identifying career options using the career development process Provide real-work experience through field trips, speakers, tours, job shadowing, mentoring, work experience, etc. Help students to appreciate the value of all types of work in our society Explore with students their personal talents, likes and dislikes
