Webinar #2 Developmentally Aligned Career Programming for PK-12 Students: The Conceptions of the Career Choice and Attainment Model
Date: Friday, November 1, 2019, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm ET
Presenter: Kimberly A. S. Howard, Boston University, USA
Cost: Free

Overview

The most effective learning activities are those designed with the development level of the learner in mind. It is expected that education curricula in academic subject areas, such as math, reading and science, are created and implemented in such a way that they are well matched to the cognitive abilities of the students in the classroom. The same principle should be applied to the area of career development. The Conceptions of Career Choice and Attainment (CCCA) model provides a six-level framework from which we can understand the way children reason about career-related processes, and how this reasoning changes over time.

Why You Should Attend

In this free webinar, Kimberly A.S. Howard will introduce the key features of the CCCA model and how it can be used by school-based professionals and youth development practitioners to identify the types of interventions that encourage children to develop more sophisticated reasoning about career development and occupational goals.
