Why do teaching staff need to do professional development to use BECOME?

BECOME is an evidence-based program founded on a new model for undertaking careers education. It may challenge some existing expectations about careers discussions in schools.

BECOME offers professional learning and planning sessions that are carefully designed to support teachers' understanding about contemporary careers education trends and evidence, and the potential for careers to engage learners and boost their confidence.

We train educators and careers specialists regularly, using recent evidence and theory, as well as practical approaches built on solid knowledge of career development strategies, the education landscape, current data, and decades of in-school experience. 

Together this background and context, familiarity with the tools and guided planning for your context assures a smoother roll-out of BECOME for greater student benefit.

Here are some of the things BECOME PL and professional development reflects: 

  1. Every teacher plays a vital role in the process of shaping students' aspirations for the future. How, and when this happens is important - and we can show your team what works, based on recent research. Look for the teacher short course, Heart of the Future.

  2. Career specialists provide resources and expertise, but they work within a team. Our sessions for BECOME Program Leads focus on how to plan your program, what to do to ensure take-up across a teaching team, and the insights you can get from BECOME. Take our PL for Program Leads to find out how to really maximise the value of your efforts in your school. Find these more advanced courses in the Momentum and Ignite PD packages.

  3. The PL and Planning day brings together your team in a bespoke training session that covers planning the most effective implementation for your school and students, getting insight data and using it to maximum effect, getting familiar with the tools, evidence, approach and benefits of career education at all school ages, not just secondary. Find this high-value approach in the Ignite PD package.
