SAASHOW Exhibitor: Embedding Careers into your Curriculum with Developing Experts

In a world that requires constant adaptation to new guidelines and emerging skills, preparing students for future careers is more important than ever. However, students are still often asked to make decisions about their future without fully understanding the range of opportunities available to them, or they’re dissuaded from pursuing certain topics altogether. That’s where embedding careers into the curriculum can make a real difference.

Science, Geography and History lessons

Developing Experts (DE) provides ready-made lesson resources for a range of subjects from EYFS to KS3. All lessons are aligned to the relevant curricula and embody up-to-date educational guidance and pedagogical strategies. Users of the platform can enjoy the following:

• Ready-made presentations
• Lesson plans, with resources, prior learning, teacher masteries and other guidance included
• Helpful lesson videos and animations
• Fully sequenced curriculum documents and handouts
• Assessment materials, quizzes, knowledge organisers and more

DE’s lessons are teacher-focused and ambitious - meaning you know you’re going to be teaching a powerful lesson before you even start.

Bringing careers into the classroom

What makes DE’s lessons different from others is that while they are fully curriculum-aligned, sequenced and resourced, they also contain links to real-world careers. For example, within our lesson presentations, video content highlights exciting job roles, diverse pathways and lesser-known routes into industries.

Hearing directly from expert speakers in these videos adds an extra layer to a lesson that allows a student to understand why the lesson content actually matters. For example, a lesson on photosynthesis directly covers curriculum content, but an additional video from a horticultural specialist or molecular biologist addresses why this content has a practical outcome in the workplace. Therefore, by weaving career insights into everyday lessons, schools can help students make meaningful connections between what they learn in the classroom and the workplace.
