West Derby School

Information for Teachers

Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subject teachers should highlight the relevance of STEM subjects for a wide range of future career paths and all subject teachers should emphasise the importance of succeeding in English and maths and should also link their own curriculum areas with careers.

Two documents:

The Careers in the Curriculum ‘What works’ report: Careers in the Curriculum ‘What works’ report Gatsby Benchmark 4 - Linking curriculum learning to careers: Careers in the Curriculum

 Resources:

• National Careers Service - Exploring Careers 
• STEM Careers - Secondary Schools
• BBC Bitesize - Careers
• LCR Growth Sectors
• The Careers Film Library
• Inspiring the Future: Teaching Resources
• Inspiring the Future: Search by Subject
• First Careers: Search by Subject
• Career Pathways: Subject Links
• CEC: My Learning My Future

Possible ideas to engage your classes with careers could be:

• Show a short video clip as a starter activity
• Show BBC bitesize careers, linking the relevance of lessons for possible future careers
• Discuss careers linked to specific parts of your curriculum
• Set a homework task to research different careers related to your subject
• Discuss/explore the growth industries within the Liverpool City Region
