Introduction
As the old-aged saying
connotes, your role as a teacher is
to open doors of possibilities for
the learners under your care. But
you must also accept the fact that
you cannot let them trudged the
path you want them to take. You
cannot decide on their behalf.
You cannot force them to chew
the chunks of information you
served them. Be as it may, you
have a crucial role in preparing
your learners to pack their
individual bags to take their own
journey towards the realization of what they envisioned to become.
This module will help you make your learners realize that their dreams in the future
could be achieved a step closer through the help of people who are in the professions or
business that they envision to be in the future. Your inputs through the different activities that
they will undergo will keep their enthusiasm burning to pursue their career choice.
Continue the learning journey through this module and help your learners affirm more
their desire of becoming who they want to be in the future.
Total Time Allotment: 90 minutes

attitudes and skills; and
c. Make career road map as an expression of commitment to one’s chosen career or
curriculum exit.

II. Motivation
Brisk Walk Down Memory Lane
Where are your learners now in terms of achieving their dreams? What have they
done already? Are they already geared up to take a step farther upon completion of the
Grade 11 modules? Take your learners to take a brisk walk down their memory lane. Let
them recall various milestones in their plan of action towards the realization of their
dreams. Here is a poem that will help them revisit their decisions. Afterwards let them
reflect by answering the follow up questions.
Chasing Dreams
You’ve come this far,

Where else you want to go?
You’ve reach this far,
What else do you want to do?
Chase your dreams.

Follow your heart.
Keep moving forward.
Always pray hard.
Life offers lot of choices,

But do not make choice in haste.
Nothing is served in silver platter
Take your time, pray for it.
You’ve come this far,

But there’s more in store.
You’ve reach this far,
Move on…conquer… soar high.
-jimmie-

group?
2. Are there common characteristics of these people in terms of beliefs,
attitudes and skills that were observed in their workplace?
3. Are there characteristics exclusively possessed by a certain person you
observed in the workplace?

IV. Lecturette: Info-Bits
It has been said that first hand information can be a very rich source of information
for learners. It is the information (the beliefs, attitudes and skills) and success stories that
they get from the people whom they want to be in the future could make them more
enthusiastic in pursuing their goals. This is also called observational learning.
Observational Learning happens when one learns by observing another person
performs a specific task. Observational Learning or Social Learning theory focuses on
the social context of learning and proposes that we can learn from another by
observation, imitation or by modeling. Albert Bandura (1977) endeavored to understand
the cognitive processes associated with people’s interaction with one another. Social
learning theorists say that learning can take place simply by observing other actions and
the subsequent outcomes of those actions.
It is from this context that the Grade 12 learners are given assignment to observe
a person with whom they want to emulate in the future using the informational interview
form (attached in the appendix). By shadowing the person or the “More Knowledgeable
Other” or MKO (Vygotsky, 2014) in his place of work and by asking pertinent questions
based on the observation tool that was crafted, it is believed that these new information
will help them in cementing their decisions to pursue their chosen career.
Informational observation also strengthens the claim of the creative job hunting
principle (Woodcock, 2014) where it says that the best way to choose a career is to talk to
people doing the job and to try it out via work shadowing and experience. There is a lot
of truth in the statement that you don’t really know what it’s like until you have been
doing it for a while: at least shadowing gives you a good idea of what’s involved.
The idea of the observation is to promote learning context where the learners
play an active role and become responsible for their own learning. The role of the teacher
therefore is to closely collaborate with learners to facilitate meaningful learning
experiences as acquired by them.
Choosing the right course is a big decision and it is important to get it right, as it
can impact future success. Career awareness and self-awareness go hand-in-hand. This is
the other idea behind why learners need to have enough information profile about the
career they want to undertake through the informational observation. In so doing, the
learners could be taken away from the idea that
luck, unpredictable social factor, chance, beliefs and
environmental factors play a major role in one’s
success in life as suggested by the Happenstance
Theory (Krumboltz, 2008)
As Stephen Covey says from his famous
book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,
Begin with the end in mind. We encourage our
learners to visualize what they wanted to become
and they are already on their first step of achieving
their goals.

Relative to this, encourage them to craft their own career road map by taking into
considerations the information they gathered during their informational observation and
the main learning they acquired through the different activities. While we encourage
creativity, do bear in mind that the content and direction of their career road map plays
more important thing and the visual effect comes only secondary. Instructions on
crafting the career road map follow for a more specific guide as to how the learners will
craft their outputs.
V. Application
Crafting A Career Road Map
Having processed the different data gathered by the learners in the field during the
informational interview, by now they must be aware that there are attributes of a person
(in the same profession as their chosen curriculum exit) that needs to be learned in
school and there are attributes that could be learned outside the four walls of the
classroom. At this point, you can guide your learners to craft their own career road map
so that they will have a prepared future plan as to how they want to arrive at their
destinations – the fulfillment of their career goals.
According to an article by Cao (2013) a career road map outlines specific steps to
undertake for moving from one step to another in ways that will facilitate growth and
career advancement. This could be an illustration or diagram that could easily be
understood by the individual who crafted it.
Career road maps are flexible enough and could be revisited and revised over time
or as the circumstance warrants in order for the learner to keep track of his progress or
to address issues that hinders the achievement of the desired goal.
The career road map, upon accomplishing should be communicated by the learners
to their parents/guardians or significant people whom they think in one way or the other
will be involved in the attainment of the desired goal. The learners should inform their
parents/guardians or the people whom they identified of what specific help or support
they are expecting from them. It is also very important to remind the learners that they
should also communicate to their support group the specific steps they will take and the
projected time frame of its accomplishment. In so doing, the learners will have an active
support system that will help him out in achieving his career goals from time to time.
Below is a sample template of a career road map. A separate worksheet is attached
in the appendix. However you can encourage the learners to come up with their own
designs.

Here are more examples of a career map which you may show to the learners as guide.


VI. Reflection
Reflection Trail
Let the learners recall the trail that they’ve been through in the module. Let them
reflect by accomplishing the following activity. (Provide a separate sheet for the learners
to accomplish)
Direction: Write 2-3 sentence reflection on what significant learning you get out of the
following activities.
Chasing
Dreams
Packing Up
for the
Journey

Road Map

VII. Evaluation
Fitting in Other’s Shoes
Here is a concluding activity that will somehow encapsulate the concepts needed
to be learned by the learner and as a valuable take away when they proceed with the next
modules.
Let them accomplish the task and have a gallery of their outputs either by hanging them
as mobiles or paste them on the walls of the room as collage for viewing.
The template is provided for this activity. Do not forget to process the different
outputs. The following reflection questions may help in processing and re-affirming their
decisions to keep on track in pursuing their career goals as they have map out steps in
their career road map. You can add more questions as you see it necessary.
1. What helped you decide about the visions you made for yourself 10 years from now?
2. How do you intend to surpass the different obstacles that you foresee?
The following questions/items should be accomplished by the learners. Let them

write their answer inside the shoes.
1. I want to be ________________________ who is ______________________

(career choice) (goal)
2. What are the challenges that you foresee in achieving your career choice?
Note: When you prefer the outputs to be hung as mobiles, be ready with small clothespin and
strings to be used as clothesline inside the classroom. When you prefer it to be posted as
collage on the walls, assigned specific area in the classroom where the shoe outlines will be
placed.

VIII. Assignment
VMCV of My Future Company
Do you ever know of a company or a business enterprise that never seems to
accomplish very much because of lack of a mission statement, goals or core values? If so,
do you want to work with these companies or at least put one for yourself in the future?
Definitely, you do not want to end up in a mess because of lack of direction. A company
or an enterprise needs vision because it provides the destination of the business or the
enterprise; a mission statement which is the guiding light of the destination and so on.
From this standpoint, make a survey of the existing company or enterprise in
your locality and ask for their own vision, mission goals and core values. You may use
the template below to accomplish the task.
Vision Mission Core Values
____________________________________________
Company or Enterprise’s Name

business you are interested to pursue. In the interview, you will be given the opportunity to
seek information from the person about the beliefs, attitudes and skills needed related to his
job or business. It aims to make you to be more informed about your career choice. You will
need the information you will get to compare and match it with your own interests, knowledge
and skills. In this way, you can evaluate whether the job or business affirm to your career
choice.
To better understand the job or business, you will also include in the interview the
mission statement and core values of the company of business of the person you interviewed.
In addition, this interview will also help you develop your communication skills and
