LiRRiC - FOR EFFECTIVE AND USEFUL LEARNING FOR WELL-BEING

LiRRiC means 'life-role relevance in curriculum'. It is 'blue sky' thinking, for consideration by the QCA. It proposes radical change for the whole psd-spectrum. Café articles show what this means for careers education - relocating it at the heart of curriculum. They also link to current headlines concerned for young people, and what we do to help them. The 'go' arrow takes you to the full proposals, the changing policy frame, and what all of this means for future programme management.

THE CPI MODEL FOR THE FUTURE OF CAREERS WORK
CPI sets out a basis for the future of careers-work across-the-board. It is a 'coverage-process-influences' (post-DOTS) model for the work. It points to the importance, not only of information-coverage, but also of learning-processes and emotional-and-social influences. The 'go' arrow will take you to where you can examine the thinking, and find the practical material.

THE CPI MODEL - SHORT INTRODUCTION
This one-page pdf introduces CPI coverage of how people balance work roles with other roles, how they process that learning into a basis for sustainable action, and what social-and emotional influences they need to negotiate.

RELOCATING CAREERS WORK IN CURRICLUM
There was never a time when people needed more to know what is going on in working life. And when they more needed to be able to work out what to do about it. It all means enabling students to be being self-propelled in finding out, checking out and working out what to do for a useful, worthwhile and sustainable life. And to do that - life-long and life-wide. We can't help them enough with this through tick-box help and cut-and-paste learning. So how do we put ourselves in a position to help them more?
 

thinking forward:
WHY WE LEARN - according to Richard Rorty

It seems probable that we do not learn in order to know the truth, but to know what to do. If that is so, there are big implications for the position of careers-work and education-for-citizenship - indeed for all programmes concerned with learning for well-being
thinking forward:
POLICY PRIORITIES - according to Ruth Levitas
Ruth Levitas's account of policy in this field points not so much to the value of ideas, more to the strength of interest groups. But, underlying that not entirely wholesome story is a potentially useful analysis of where our priorities might lie
thinking forward:
MANAGING NETWORKS - in contemporary careers work
Effective careers-work and Connexions programmes need resourceful people who can manage networks of help. How will we know them when we find them?
thinking forward:
CHOICE - and why we shouldn't ignore Daniel Dennett
The idea of a free-standing 'self', choosing what to do - as a citizen or in career development - won’t do any more. But there are other stronger and more useful ideas.
