Apnodwai mi nāyiti that Lets responsibility for career education wa shared by many people and different agencies. Tw's reason we sought the advice and assistance of a range of organisations to help us with this project these included the Career and Transition Educators Association, USENT Council Educational Research, post primary teachers association, the Ministry of Education, school support services, the school trustees association and the industry training federation. The advice we received from those agencies and organisations has greatly improved the benchmarks that you see today. We've carried out field testing in 30 schools across the country. We've had discussions with career professionals in 18 cluster meetings and we've shared this work broadly across the education sector. The feedback and consultation we've had has greatly assisted us in the development of these benchmarks. I've really valued the opportunity to represent the careers in transition education association and schools in the development of the benchmarks. All student transitions are something all schools strive for so these are at the heart of the benchmarks. Ultimately schools have the responsibility to make the decisions about career education and highly effective career education requires a whole school approach which is led by school trustees, senior managers and career development leaders. The benchmarks have been designed as a flexible self-review tool that enables schools to review their current practice and identify key areas that they wish to focus on, improve and develop. Findings and research from the creating pathways and building lives capable project and New Zealand and international career development research and frameworks have shaped the benchmarks. They have also been aligned to New Zealand education documents and strategies such as the career education guidelines in Kaikatea. Careers New Zealand will support schools to implement these benchmarks. We'll have resources available online and we'll be developing professional development and cluster meetings to support you in this work. Each year we're going to review the benchmarks based on practice in schools and the latest research. We'd really appreciate your feedback and how you're finding the benchmarks. And to this end we've created a feedback mechanism on our website. Please contact us if we can be of assistance in implementing the benchmarks.
