Well done for completing STEM Moving On! Hopefully you have further developed your knowledge about the role of STEM in careers guidance and considered ways in which good practice can be implemented.

The aim of this quick quiz is to help you assess your own learning against some of the core learning points in the module. This is a self-assessment exercise and on completion, comments are found in the view feedback link below.

We hope that now you have completed STEM Moving on you:

  1. Understand findings from recent research into learners’ attitudes to STEM courses and careers
  2. Feel confident about using STEM resources to support learners appropriately
  3. Recognise practice that positively addresses equality and opportunity in the context of STEM careers
  4. Have planned a STEM awareness raising session for colleagues, which will encourage STEM specialist teachers in particular to integrate career learning into the curriculum

    Some of these outcomes will be fulfilled through your reflections and the ideas recorded in your STEM Careers Personal Action Plan.
