Time flies so fast that people are caught off guard. Do you have a clear and precise career direction? What kind of career plan will you have at this time? How to write a career plan? The following is the counselor's career planning book I compiled for you, for reference only. Let's have a look.
Counselor's career planning book 1 1. The significance of counselor's career planning
Career management of college counselors is a process in which counselors and colleges work together to finally achieve their career goals. It includes two aspects: on the one hand, counselors realize self-management, that is, through effective management of personal interests, abilities and development goals, they can maximize their personal development achievements and realize their personal development vision; On the other hand, colleges and universities help counselors plan their career development, that is, colleges and universities can promote the realization of employees' career goals by providing necessary opportunities for education, training and job rotation, as well as through incentive mechanisms such as ranks and titles. The essence of career management of college counselors is to learn from the concept of career management, so as to realize the professional development of counselors. It should be said that the career management of college counselors is the product of the development of counselors. As a professional counselor, the practice of college counselors' career management has undoubtedly played a positive role in the exploration of counselors' professionalism.
Second, the career orientation of college counselors
Specialization is the requirement of knowledge and technology for a profession or job, and it is an affirmation of the complexity and creativity of the profession and job. With the understanding of the importance and necessity of counselors' work, the growth of counselors' team and the maturity of counselors' work, as a post, the professional requirements for counselors have also been put forward, and counselors' learning has also stepped onto the front desk.
On the other hand, the meaning of professionalization refers to the barriers and standards of occupation, that is, there must be certain standards and requirements for engaging in this industry and qualification certification is needed; The second is to engage in this industry, this job for a long time, and even regard it as a lifelong career. It can be seen that specialization refers to the process that a profession gradually reaches the professional standard and becomes a specialized profession, with more emphasis on the professional quality and professional ability of practitioners; Professionalization refers to the status and level of the professional nature and development state of a profession, focusing on the social recognition and system confirmation of professional specialization. Specialization is not necessarily a major, and you have studied professional and other related knowledge, but it is often not a lifelong career. Specialization of division of labor does not necessarily lead to professionalization. For counselors, their specialization process is based on specialization, which is the institutionalized embodiment of the level of professional development and an important aspect of professional development. Therefore, the specialization advocated in the construction of counselor team is a kind of professional specialization, a career and a lifelong human capital investment.
At present, from the definition of professionalization of counselors, the team of counselors is still a long way from professionalization. First of all, in terms of professional barriers and standards, colleges and universities generally have corresponding regulations on academic qualifications. For example, in party member, graduates with bachelor degree or above are generally selected on campus, and party member, a graduate student, is basically introduced as a counselor outside the school. However, most counselors do not have the knowledge of pedagogy, psychology, management, political science and so on, nor have they received systematic training. The specialization of counselors means that counselors should have a professional knowledge system that can be competent for students' work; For social division of labor, it means that counselors should have the consciousness of taking student work as their profession and the knowledge base of being competent for this professional requirement. Therefore, the specialization of counselors is still relatively low. Secondly, from the second level of professionalism, due to various reasons, the instability of the counselor team is still very strong, and not many people are willing to engage in the career of counselors for life. The professional level of a profession basically corresponds to its social status. In the knowledge-intensive university campus, it will be difficult for counselors with low professional level to make a difference, which will have a great impact on the stability of the counselor team. Without specialization and development prospects, we will not persist in green hills and never relax. Of course, it is far from developing counselor work into a personal career, let alone professionalization of counselors.
On the whole, the professionalization process of counselor team construction is only an attempt from the perspective of career development and specialization, but the progress is not satisfactory, and there is still a long way to go before it is truly professional. Therefore, in order to improve the professional level of counselors and change the common problems such as unstable team, no sense of belonging and low work efficiency, many colleges and universities have offered suggestions for the development of counselors in the direction of "professionalization" and "specialization". Shanghai Science and Education Party Committee has actively built a platform for the professionalization of college counselors, and launched a series of important measures related to the professional development of counselors, such as establishing training bases, starting qualification certification, and evaluating counselors' professional titles. Some colleges and universities have also introduced a series of professional measures for counselors according to the characteristics of their own schools, creating conditions for counselors to become professional social workers. These measures taken by the Municipal Education Commission and colleges and universities have undoubtedly laid a good foundation for the professionalization of counselors, making them take a big step forward, and taking a big step towards the goal of "paying attention to the selection and training of counselors as much as the selection and training of professional academic backbones, and caring about the growth of counselors as much as the growth of professional academic backbones".
To sum up, to truly realize the professionalization of counselors, we need to make more efforts. The most important thing is to let counselors know their own career development path by introducing the concept of career management. Organizationally, it not only provides incentives for counselors in terms of rank, post level, training and development, but also provides support and help for counselors' specialization and creates conditions for counselors' specialization.
Thirdly, the organization and implementation of counselors' career planning.
1, career planning principles for counselors
To introduce the concept of career management into the construction of counselors, we must first master the five principles of career planning. Only by following these five principles can we effectively establish a stable team of counselors and improve their professional quality.
(1), win-win principle. Win-win is the first principle of counselor's career planning. In other words, the career planning of counselors should not only be conducive to their own development, but also take into account the interests of the school. The personal development of counselors is closely related to the prosperity of the school and has the consistency of interests.
(2) the principle of fairness. The principle of fairness refers to the school's open, fair and just career development planning activities, and every counselor has equal opportunities to participate in the school's career planning activities. When providing development information, education and training opportunities and job opportunities, schools should disclose their own conditions and standards and maintain a high degree of transparency.
(3) The principle of cooperation. The principle of cooperation means that in the process of formulating and implementing the career development plan for counselors, the Organization Department of the Party Committee, the Student Affairs Office, the Personnel Office, the General Branch of the Department and the counselors * * * participate, * * * formulate, * * * implement and * * * jointly complete.
(4) the principle of mutual communication. Communication is very necessary for career planning. Through communication, we can know the actual situation of counselors in detail and set up feasible career channels according to the needs of the school, which can prevent the blindness of management. Through communication, we can understand the psychological changes, new needs and goals and future plans of counselors in their career development, so as to improve the scientificity, pertinence and effectiveness of counselors' career management.
(5), the principle of dynamic goals. The principle of dynamic goal refers to the whole process evaluation and multi-angle evaluation of career development planning, so that counselors can make their career development clear and become a feasible and effective innovation mechanism. Timely evaluation and feedback of the results to relevant personnel will facilitate counselors to revise their planning goals, facilitate schools to build a new platform according to the adjusted career development goals of counselors, and truly provide effective support and help for counselors' professionalization.
2. Career planning of counselors
Introducing the concept of career management into counselors' career development mainly means that colleges and universities should make feasible career development plans for counselors, clarify their own development direction and future, analyze and position each counselor, help them establish their own development track in three aspects: career goals, post goals and rank goals, and clarify their personal positioning and corresponding tasks at different stages of school development. The school's career planning for counselors can be roughly carried out in the following aspects:
(1), analyze and locate counselors. The analysis and orientation of counselors is the basis of career planning. It can be carried out from two aspects: on the one hand, it is the personal evaluation of the counselor. Career planning begins with counselors' evaluation of their abilities, interests, career needs and goals. The focus of personal evaluation is to analyze one's own conditions, especially personality, interests, specialties and needs, and give full consideration to their matching with occupations. You can use some professional psychological and career development testing software to help yourself with positioning analysis. On the other hand, it is to organize the evaluation of counselors. The school's evaluation of counselors is to determine whether the career goals of counselors are realistic. This requires the joint participation of the Organization Department of the Party Committee, the Personnel Department, the General Branch of the College and the Student Affairs Office. Specifically, it can be evaluated through the autobiography written by the counselor, 24-hour diary (recording the activities of a working day and a non-working day), lifestyle description, interest survey, value research, work assessment and other aspects to determine the career orientation and basic ability of the counselor.
(2) Help counselors to establish the direction and goal of career development. It mainly includes the establishment of career goals, post goals and rank goals, as well as the choice of career development routes. The choice of career development route will be discussed later; Here we mainly talk about target positioning from the perspective of organization.
A firm goal is the first principle of success. Whether the choice of career goals is correct is directly related to the success or failure of life and career. According to statistics, 80% of people who choose the wrong career goals are career losers. When making self-development goals and development plans, counselors should first pay attention to the matching of personal goals and school goals. On the one hand, counselors should make clear the development goals of the school according to its present situation, development trend and development plan; Through the analysis and discussion of school environment, social environment, economic environment and other related issues, the role, influence and requirements of environment on career development are clarified; On this basis, it analyzes the career development planning and job requirements of schools in different periods. On the other hand, the school personnel department should provide job analysis materials, job descriptions, school career development plans and job requirements for counselors in a timely manner, and publicize the school-running concept and human resources development strategy.
On this basis, fully combining the characteristics of counselor career cycle, according to the counselor's working years and working conditions, through the two-way communication between the school and the counselor, on the basis of reaching an agreement, the career goals, post goals and rank goals are determined. Goal setting can be divided into long-term, medium-term and short-term, and short-term goals need to be decomposed into a series of specific and clear small goals. This will help to gradually achieve the goals of each stage.
The stress of counselors in the second volume of career planning for counselors is often not their lack of ability, but their inability to find a fit between their ability and their job. Career planning of counselors includes self-analysis. Counselors should have a correct and objective evaluation of themselves, know their career potential, and identify their career orientation. Plan the work in stages, grasp the key points, objectives and tasks of each stage, and improve your working ability; Set short-term and long-term goals and strive to develop towards professional and expert goals; In order to achieve short-term and long-term goals, plan your own actions.
Career planning refers to the combination of individuals and organizations, comprehensively analyzing and weighing the subjective and objective conditions of a person's career, combining with the characteristics of the times, determining the best career goal according to his own career tendency, and making effective arrangements for achieving this goal. The purpose of career design is not only to help individuals find suitable jobs according to their qualifications and achieve their personal goals, but more importantly, to help individuals truly understand themselves, make career plans for themselves, plan their future, draw up their own life development direction, and design reasonable and feasible career development directions according to subjective and objective conditions.
The pressure of counselors is often not their own lack of ability, but their inability to find a point of convergence between their own ability and their suitability for work. Some counselors do not consider the pressure of work systematically and carefully. Sometimes as soon as the stress event is over, it will pass. They even regard the profession of counselors as a "stopgap measure" and have no plans for their career. They will have the idea of "being a monk for a day" and wait for an opportunity to find themselves. Therefore, counselors' career potential, find their own career orientation, plan cf work in stages, grasp the key points, goals and tasks in each stage, and improve their working ability; Set short-term and long-term goals and strive to develop towards professional and expert goals; In order to achieve short-term and long-term goals, plan your own actions.
First, self-analysis, correct and objective understanding and evaluation of themselves, to determine their own career development goals.
College counselors should first conduct self-analysis, such as "What do I want to do, what can I do, what am I doing now, and what will I do in the future?" "Are you interested in students' ideological and political education and daily management? Do you want to fight for education? "Wait a minute. We should carefully analyze our personality, interests, knowledge and skills to identify our strengths and weaknesses, whether our interests can be cultivated, whether our knowledge and skills can be improved through learning accumulation, and so on, so as to determine whether we are suitable for the career of college counselors. If you think you are suitable to be a college counselor, you should set your own development goal, that is, to be an "educator" rather than a "affairs manager". Without an informed career development goal, career development planning will be difficult to achieve smoothly.
Two, a clear career stage, a clear career planning stage tasks.
Different career stages have different career planning strategies:
(1) 20 ~ 30 years old is pre-career, also known as career adolescence. At this stage, learning, understanding and exercising are the main tasks. Grasp the basic knowledge, develop good work attitudes and habits, and get to know people who are important to you. (2)30~40 years old is a career period, and the goal is to increase professional skills and knowledge, find their own professional advantages, establish their own support network, and strive for opportunities for job rotation and talent growth.
(3) 40 ~ 50 years old is a mature occupation, and its main task is innovation and in-depth development.
(4) After the age of 55, it is the later stage of career. In order to learn new information, confirm and train new people, plan the life after retirement.
At present, college counselors are mainly from 20 to 40 years old, and most of them are young counselors. Therefore, in career planning, counselors of different ages have different planning priorities. For example, many newly-appointed counselors don't really understand this profession, so the focus of planning is to study, learn to deal with daily work and all kinds of troubles, cultivate professional interests and establish good interpersonal relationships; After working for 3-5 years, counselors' career will gradually turn to a stable period, which is the main period of their career. This is because counselors have been basically familiar with the basic work and started to undertake other work. Therefore, at this stage, they will find their own professional advantages, such as student psychological counseling, party building and other training work, and determine the special projects and responsibilities they can undertake. But for counselors, the stage of career cycle is not static. We should make our own planning priorities for each stage according to everyone's actual situation.
Third, formulate practical measures to improve work ability and achieve your career development goals.
The career development goals of counselors have short-term goals and long-term goals. Short-term goal refers to doing the current job well and mastering the methods and skills of the current job. The long-term goal of counselors is to strive for specialization and expert development. "Specialization" means defining the basic qualities and skills that a profession should possess, perfecting the knowledge structure and mastering the vocational skills. Some scholars have summarized the professional knowledge and skills that counselors should possess: the knowledge structure system of professional counselors includes ontological knowledge, basic knowledge, applied knowledge, relevant knowledge and background knowledge. Ontology knowledge refers to ideological and political education knowledge, basic knowledge refers to Marxist theoretical knowledge, and applied knowledge refers to operational knowledge such as speech, writing and investigation commonly used in counselors' work practice, and related knowledge includes related background knowledge such as pedagogy and psychology. The vocational skill structure that a vocational counselor should possess includes language expression and information acquisition ability, organization and coordination ability, investigation and research ability and creativity. College counselors need to break down their goals and make detailed time-sharing plans and action measures. "Specialization" means "doing the best in your own professional field". Counselors should not regard this occupation as a transitional occupation, but should engage in this work for a long time, study the work of counselors as a knowledge, practice constantly, deepen gradually, and strive to become experts in this field.
Fourth, supervise your actions and constantly revise and improve your career development plan.
In the process of honest career development planning, college counselors need to decompose their long-term goals into specific goals, what they need to learn and what kind of training they need to participate in in order to achieve the specific goals, and put them into action, and monitor and adjust their behaviors, sum up experiences and lessons in time, correct inappropriate career development goals, and then enter the next career development plan. When you find that you can't achieve the established career development goals, you should first communicate with the internal members of the school and solve the problem by changing positions. This can save the time and energy needed to find a job that suits you again, and you can continue to enjoy the established good communication network. The ultimate way out for counselors' career development or personal development is not necessarily to be full-time teachers in teaching posts or leaders in administrative posts, but to strive to become expert educators.
As an English teacher with a short working time, I think it is necessary to make a long-term plan for my career, so as to have a clear direction of progress and development in education. Although I can meet some necessary job requirements, I still think it is far from the requirements of a qualified teacher in teaching, and there will still be some mistakes in classroom teaching, so I can't be so handy. Fortunately, I am still young, hardworking and self-motivated. In the next three years, my overall goal for myself is:
First, study hard and grow.
Teachers all feel the same way: "It is impossible for teachers to spit out knowledge every day and not eat new knowledge in time." In today's era of knowledge explosion, teachers need to study against time.
First, study hard the concept and spirit of new education. According to the concept of new education and new textbooks, we should actively carry out the reform and exploration of classroom teaching mode, optimize the classroom teaching process, explore teaching methods that meet the requirements of new textbooks, handle the relationship between curriculum reform and the implementation of teaching routines, and improve teaching quality. Attach importance to the cultivation of students' ability and constantly improve their comprehensive quality. Do both teaching and educating people. Let every child in the class be bathed in the sunshine and rain of the curriculum reform and grow up confidently and successfully.
Second, we should make clear the teaching objectives and grasp the important and difficult points in the classroom. After class, seriously reflect on each class, write down the teaching postscript, constantly sum up lessons and accumulate experience. Be diligent in practice and constantly reflect on yourself.
Third, pay attention to the improvement of one's own literary literacy in the usual teaching, such as reading more good books and practicing more calligraphy. Diligently ask teachers for relevant knowledge in order to improve in an all-round way.
Second, study hard and improve the teaching level.
The task of teachers is not only to make students master scientific knowledge and skills, but also to cultivate and develop students' intelligence and physical strength; In addition, students should cultivate civilized behavior, good habits, noble sentiments and strong will. This requires teachers to constantly improve their educational ability.
As far as ability is concerned, I ask myself to learn to do the following:
1, educational demands. Educate students with heart and touch them with emotion. Educating students can't just rely on norms and punishment. I advocate emotional education. Always reason with them, analyze the causes of problems, and teach them to measure the right and wrong of things with morality.
2. The ability to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. There are always differences between students in skills learning and morality. They are good at discovering students' characteristics, and can adopt appropriate methods to guide them, improve their confidence and motivate them to move forward.
3. Improve classroom teaching ability. Learn how to complete classroom teaching tasks, how to control time, how to realize teacher-student interaction, and how to make students better master skills and theoretical knowledge in practice again and again.
Third, be diligent in teaching theory and teaching research.
1, actively learn professional teaching theory knowledge, and can use it in their own teaching, and reflect on it in time. Keep reading books on teaching theory at work and constantly improve yourself. At ordinary times, we should constantly supplement other theoretical knowledge, enrich ourselves and do more listening, reading, writing and practicing.
2. Actively carry out teaching research.
Fourth, specific planning.
The first year: through my own efforts, I will make my teaching interesting and flexible, and make students like my class. Strive to establish their own good image in the minds of students.
The second year: through continuous learning, we can teach firmly and flexibly, so that we can master the teaching materials flexibly.
The third year:
1. Meet all the requirements of the subjects taught by the school.
2. Form a democratic and harmonious relationship between teachers and students in teaching. Form an interactive moral education model of "learning from students and making progress together between teachers and students".
