PRE ORDER HARDCOPY Career Education Teacher Guide Year 8

This resource supports educators to develop students’ personal, social, and career management capabilities that underpin lifelong learning, wellbeing, and informed participation in the world of work. It provides guidance for building students’ self-awareness, resilience and adaptability, strengthening positive self-concept, relationships and wellbeing, and supporting students to explore the connections between learning, work and the broader social and economic world. The learning sequence moves from personal development, to understanding education and work systems, to active career exploration and decision-making.

The teacher resource supports an exploratory, inquiry-based approach to learning, enabling educators to connect students’ personal qualities, learning experiences, and social networks with emerging career pathways. It also supports students to understand the links between education, work, and the broader social and economic world, and to view learning as a lifelong process that underpins personal and professional growth.

To further strengthen delivery, the teacher resource includes optional professional learning opportunities to build staff confidence and capability in career education practice.
