As an educator, having a clear vision of your career goals and aspirations is important. It is also vital to have an understanding of what type of organization are you looking for and what type of impact you want to have. Creating a career vision board is one way to help bring that vision to life.
What is a Career Vision Board?
A career vision board visually represents your career goals and aspirations. It can be a physical or digital board where you can add images, quotes, and words that inspire and remind you of your goals.
Benefits of Creating a Career Vision Board
There are many benefits to creating a career vision board as you search for a new job or role. Here are a few:
- It helps you clarify your goals: By creating a visual representation of your career goals, you can gain clarity on what you want to achieve in your career as an educator.
- It keeps you motivated: Looking at your vision board can be a great source of motivation, especially when you’re feeling discouraged or overwhelmed.
- It helps you stay focused: When you have a clear vision of your dream job and impact goals, it’s easier to stay focused on taking the right steps to achieve them.
- It’s a great way to track your progress: You can add new images and words to your vision board as you achieve your career and impact goals. This allows you to track your progress and celebrate your successes.
