Definition, stages and steps of career planning 1, definition and necessity: career planning, also known as career design, refers to the combination of a person and an organization. On the basis of measuring, analyzing and summarizing the subjective and objective conditions of a person's career, we can comprehensively analyze and weigh one's interests, hobbies, abilities and characteristics, so as to determine one's best career development goals by integrating the characteristics of the times and one's career tendency. In the fierce competition in modern times, in order to give full play to one's potential and better create one's self-worth and social value, everyone must clearly understand and design the best route of one's career and develop one's best prospects. In the era of knowledge economy, teachers' career planning is of great significance to teachers' personal growth and the completion of important missions. Teachers' career planning is a kind of career planning, which is of great significance to teachers' sustainable development and growth. First of all, it is the inevitable need of the development of the times and lifelong education; Secondly, it is the need of teachers' own development; Third, teachers' good career planning can help teachers live in the best condition. The theory of teachers' career development stages is the theoretical basis of teachers' career planning. In the professional development of teachers, various factors such as professional quality and ability occupy different positions. Therefore, according to the different characteristics of teachers' career, teachers' career is divided into different stages, that is, the development of teachers' career is staged. According to the study of teachers' life cycle based on teachers' career theory, teachers' growth can be divided into five stages. During the adaptation period (1-3 years), new teachers who have just entered the society are facing the inadaptability of role change on the one hand, and the excitement of being a teacher for the first time on the other. Stable period (4-7 years) After the successful role transformation, teachers' career enters a stable period. Teachers in this period have the basic skills needed for effective teaching and can adapt to teaching activities. During the experimental period (8-23 years), due to the dullness of teachers' profession, after years of teaching work, teachers will feel tired and powerless, and begin to re-evaluate their career choices and make judgments on whether they should do it or not. Teachers in quiet and conservative period (24-3 1 year) tend to be complacent, indulge in achievements and are unwilling to explore new teaching models. Quit teaching (32-39 years old) Due to age and other reasons, teachers are about to quit teaching posts, which is also the end of teachers' career. Based on various theories of teacher development, they have similarities and differences. According to the characteristics of teachers at different stages, it can be more targeted and practical to make appropriate career plans. Steps of Teachers' Career Planning The formulation of teachers' career planning must follow the process of career design. Regarding the steps of teachers' career planning, everyone's views are basically the same. The steps of career planning can be summarized as self-evaluation, goal setting, self-evaluation and environmental evaluation, career orientation, implementation strategy, evaluation and feedback. The steps of teachers' career planning are based on the steps of career planning and combine the characteristics of teachers' profession to some extent. From these steps, we can see that correct self-evaluation is the foundation and the most important link, and the mistakes in this link will affect the correct progress of this link. Teachers' career planning strategies There are many researches on teachers' career planning strategies. According to different disciplines, the author divides these strategies into the following three angles: ① Teachers' personal perspective. Some scholars believe that in order to make a correct career plan, teachers should: learn the theory of teachers' professional development; Grasp the direction of professional development; Carry out continuous reflection and dynamic planning; Follow the technical requirements of teachers' professional development planning. ② School organization angle. Zhao Jingxin and Shen believe that what schools need to do is to help teachers realize themselves objectively; Provide an alternative way for teachers' professional development; Put forward specific requirements for teachers' professional development; Guide teachers to fully consider the reality of daily life when making career development plans, and ensure the harmony between career and family development. Xiao Min, Jr. believes that schools should do the following: ① Managers should strengthen the knowledge study of career planning and management, understand the characteristics of teachers in different career stages, and understand the different management characteristics of teachers in different career stages. (2) Combining with the original teaching and research work, formulate a "personal development plan for teachers" to guide teachers to learn to plan their personal career. ③ Conduct targeted training. (4) Establish a "teacher professional growth file" and formulate a teacher performance feedback system. ⑤ Combining professional title evaluation, post appointment, salary promotion and post promotion to provide a platform for fair competition for teachers' professional development. Zhu Hui believes that the implementation of teachers' professional development plan should be helped by schools. First of all, it is necessary to raise teachers' awareness of professional development. Second, we should strengthen the analysis of the demand for human resources in schools. Third, we should provide suggestions and guidance for career development. Fourth, strengthen vocational training and development. Fifth, determine different career development paths and different career development strategies. Wang Fang believes that for teachers' career planning, the school mainly provides protection for teachers' planning from the following aspects: First, understanding teachers; Second, regard career planning as a system; Third, provide guarantee conditions for teachers' career planning. Whether teachers or schools, Lu Fengshan thinks that the effective planning of teachers' career is the common responsibility of schools and teachers. (1) set up the ideal, clear goals. ② Learn to operate and create career development opportunities; At the same time, schools should take responsibility for teachers' professional development. ③ Decompose ideals and ambitions into operational small goals. (4) Know yourself and make an implementation plan. Self-awareness, self-planning and self-management are the main connotations of teachers' career planning. Meng believes that teachers' career planning needs the interaction between teachers and schools. In this process, teachers can mainly achieve: ① self-awareness; (2) determine the appropriate occupation; ③ Determine realistic career goals. School organizations should: ① understand teachers' hobbies, interests and pursuits through effective ways, evaluate teachers' abilities and potentials, and determine whether teachers' career goals are realistic; (2) Keep employees' information related to their occupations, announce all vacant positions in the school in time, and provide employees with fair opportunities; ③ Provide necessary training for employees in combination with the school development strategy and personal career development plan. Yu and others believe that in order to realize the organic combination of school and personal development planning, the following points should be achieved: ① Recruitment and selection. (2) Competition for posts and optimization of employment. ③ Establish various career development channels for employees. (4) Establish work objectives and assessment system. ⑤ Classified design of reward and punishment and incentive mechanism. The formulation of teachers' career planning is a process of interaction between teachers and school organizations. Therefore, when making career planning, teachers should take measures mainly from two aspects: organization and individual, so as to reduce the blindness and fuzziness of teachers' career planning, improve the pertinence and effectiveness of career planning and promote teachers' career development.
