Possible Selves Summit

Pre-Conference Event, March 3-4, 2022

• March 3: Immersive Experience
  Cajon ValLey Union School District
   

• March 4th: Summit
  University of San Diego

Career development is a human process with the possibility to ignite hope and build dreams. Join education leaders from around the country at the inaugural Possible Selves Summit 2022, to explore the latest research, policy and practice emerging in whole child and early career development, and convene with A National Call to Action that outlines actions to support students in developing their future possible selves. “Why am I here?” is a question central to all humans, yet K-12 education often fails to help students identify their unique interests, skills, and exposure to mentors and possible careers to effectively develop motivation to pursue a fulfilling life pathway. 

Based on a recent report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2020), today’s students:

• Struggle to identify their career aspirations

• Are more uncertain about future occupations

• Show narrow career aspirations

• Demonstrate misalignment between their aspirations and awareness of how to prepare for those careers

​

An Immersion Event is available on Thursday, March 3rd at the Cajon Valley Union School District to observe, participate and hear the voices of students and teachers in their nationally recognized program, “The World of Work,” as it plays out in the school environment. Transportation and lunch are provided.

Some important questions we’ll address include:

• What is the role of hope, dreams, and motivation in a fulfilling life and career?

• What is research telling us about whole human development and what data do we need?

• How do we engage parents in the process with their children?

• How do we design the learning experience, structure, and environments to support whole-person development? How do we get started?

• The importance of literacy, and the use of technology, in the development of self

• How do we share this work among all stakeholders, starting with teachers?

• When is it appropriate to start this work? How?
   

Goals of the Summit

• Learn about the latest research, policy and practice in career and whole child development as it plays out in schools

• Network and create a culture and mindset of whole child and career development across the K-12 ecosystem

• Communicate clearly with a common language

• Explore key questions in whole child and career development

• Develop A National Call to Action for research, policy and practice in early career and whole child development
