How to Participate

The following is a list of ways to get involved with the School to Careers (STC) project:
  1. A video library of short videos feature careers. These videos are available to Iowa schools through 15 Area Education Agencies (AEAs). Some of the videos are customized for lower elementary students. Unlimited duplication rights for educational purposes are offered.

  2. The STC Web site features a career search database and career related resources for students, parents and teachers.

  3. "School to Careers Odyssey," a specially produced six-part series highlighting each of the six Career Pathways, is available from Iowa AEAs, and is broadcast on IPTV. Duplication rights exist for educational uses. A teacher guide is available online for the series.

  4. Discussion boards allow STC Web site users to interact with the career professionals featured on the site. Messages can be posted to the career professionals, and they will respond. It's just another avenue for students and educators to learn more about a specific career.

  5. Professional development workshops and classes, conducted by IPTV staff, offer practical models for integrating the STC project into curricula across varying grade levels and multiple disciplines. Professional development activities are offered to local school districts in Iowa or at the AEAs for credit during the summer.

  6. Videoconferencing sessions on the Iowa Communications Network (ICN)
    Two types of sessions are available to Iowa educators:
