Therefore, one activity I would implement as a school counselor would be a “learning day.” This day would be extremely significant for elementary school students, as awareness of career development begins as early as elementary school. As a school counselor, I would contact professionals in different occupations to talk to or teach students like Sandra, a student with a learning disability, (Iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu) about their experiences in their profession and their college life. This phase engages students in three skill areas: The first skill area would be foundational academic skills. Therefore, for middle and high school students, like Sandra, an ESE student with learning disabilities, this stage is where they understand their aptitudes, academic strengths, and interests. Career awareness is more meaningful to students when they are exposed to the job or career of their choice. It will also help students engage with the career they feel is right for them
