○ Fewer opportunities
○ Financially incapable of affording opportunities
■ Boredom, Inactivity, Isolation
● Summer School Stigma
○ Summer is a time for enriching experience outside the classroom
■ Lack of interest and lack of hands-on experiences

Careers in E ducation Com m ittee
Goal: To increase student interest in pursuing a career in education by changing the public perception of teaching.
![Page 14: State Student Advisory Council on Education · 2018. 6. 25. · State Student Advisory Council on Education. Connecticut State Board of Education. June 6th, 2018](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e47c842f73e2bcf7e2cd8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Survey of CT High School Students
![Page 15: State Student Advisory Council on Education · 2018. 6. 25. · State Student Advisory Council on Education. Connecticut State Board of Education. June 6th, 2018](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e47c842f73e2bcf7e2cd8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Aspects of Teaching That Appeal to Students
● Ability to shape the lives of young people and the next generation
● Strong demand for new teachers
● Job security
● Every year = new students, new personalities, and new ideas
● High Level of Autonomy○ While required classes have mandated curricula that teachers are expected to follow, it
is the teacher who decide what will happen in the classroom each day.○ Teachers teach their curriculum in very different ways.○ Not many jobs provide an individual with so much room to be creative and autonomous
each day.
● To be the ONE CARING ADULT in a child’s life
![Page 16: State Student Advisory Council on Education · 2018. 6. 25. · State Student Advisory Council on Education. Connecticut State Board of Education. June 6th, 2018](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e47c842f73e2bcf7e2cd8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
We asked CT students to denote, on a scale from 1 - 10 , the im por tan ce of thes e two f actor s when s electin g a car eer .
From left to right (1 -10), the bars represent the number of students who responded a number from 1 to 10. Leftmost: 1. Rightmost: 10.
![Page 17: State Student Advisory Council on Education · 2018. 6. 25. · State Student Advisory Council on Education. Connecticut State Board of Education. June 6th, 2018](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e47c842f73e2bcf7e2cd8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Students’ Negative Perspectives on Teaching
● Not a high-paying job
● Bad experiences in High School
● Minimal opportunities for career advancement (classroom teacher for entire life)
● Teachers speak poorly of their own profession to their students○ “I don’t get paid enough for this”
● Negative perspectives/misconceptions → lower respect for teachers → less desire to teach
![Page 18: State Student Advisory Council on Education · 2018. 6. 25. · State Student Advisory Council on Education. Connecticut State Board of Education. June 6th, 2018](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e47c842f73e2bcf7e2cd8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Countering the Perspective
● There is potential for profes s ional development.○ Can move on to be Principals , Superintendents , and higher education
● Do not have to s tay a clas s room teacher his /her whole career
● Continue res earch and have the ability to publis h papers ...etc.
● Special opportunities and awards
● Countles s experiences and s tories from s tudents
![Page 19: State Student Advisory Council on Education · 2018. 6. 25. · State Student Advisory Council on Education. Connecticut State Board of Education. June 6th, 2018](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e47c842f73e2bcf7e2cd8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Steps to creating a viral video
1) Viral title (tells what video will be about and uses phrases such as: “You’ve got to see..”)
2) Short and to the point (:30-1:30 minutes)
3) Tap into emotions (make the viewer feel s omething)
4) Releas e video on a Monday or a Tues day
a) First days back to school and work and gives video a week to gain momentum
Best video would show a teacher actively engaging students in his/her classroom
Ex: https ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0jgcyfC2r8

Future Steps
● Use social media to reach students
○ Create a viral video that easily accessible via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter
● Rebrand the perception of teaching
○ Bring in a Public Relations Firm to help with this
● Make opportunities available in high schools for students interested in teaching
○ Ex: Cadet Teaching, Future Educators Club
