The role of school websites in career development practice

an article by Val O’Reilly published in International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance Volume 11 Number 3 (2011)

Abstract

The use of technology is well-established in teaching curricula and as a tool for educators in secondary schools in New Zealand. Within their career practice in schools, practitioners are regularly using web-based technologies. However, most career practitioners are unlikely to participate in the process of establishing and maintaining school websites, and in particular the career-related content. The perceived relevance of school websites can therefore vary for practitioners, especially where various practice settings are considered.

Hazel’s comment:
I wonder how many schools in the UK include a statement about their “impartial careers guidance service” on their websites even if they do provide such a service? I suspect not many state schools.
