One of our key goals for the 2022-23 school year was to create an impactful professional development (PD) session that schools could leverage on their dedicated PD days. The objective behind this session was to empower educators with insights into how the quality practices offered by the Lorain County Business Advisory Council (BAC) could better prepare students for a successful transition from school to college and careers.
The learning objectives we established were as follows:
Understand what factors will rapidly change the workplace for students as they enter the workplace.
Understand the current and anticipated job market. Be able to identify job sectors in decline and those that will likely be in growth.
Understand the current marketplace and Ohio graduates' success in navigating the transition from HS graduation to careers.
Determine what knowledge, skills, and characteristics students will need to be able to compete in a future workplace.
Identify innovative career paths for students based on their aptitudes and interests.
Understand the additional opportunities that exist for students and teachers as they navigate a future workplace
Our journey began with the creation of a straightforward agenda, accessible at tinyurl.com/LorainFutureReadyStudents, which we used during our presentations to teachers on November 7th, 2022. We conducted this session four times throughout the day, offering it to four school districts in attendance during our county-wide shared professional development day. To ensure an engaging and hands-on experience, we designed reflective activities for teachers at their respective tables. The concepts and activities we encouraged teachers to contemplate can be found on our website at sites.google.com/nort2h.org/futurereadystudents.
