Author Description

Are you a teacher, education professional or school careers lead, looking for new ways to enhance your career, effectiveness with students and to support implementation of the Gatsby Benchmarks? This is for you... The Gatsby Benchmarks provide a framework for schools to ensure their careers provision meets statutory guidelines. And whilst teachers and careers leads are working hard to implement the eight benchmarks within schools, LinkedIn provides a little-known but valuable additional resource that will support their initiatives and assist students with their career planning. Not only that, LinkedIn is a powerful and proven tool to support teachers, heads of year and careers leaders in their own jobs - whether to find new roles for themselves or to become even more effective when working with students - including building relationships with businesspeople within their local community. Philip Calvert's book reveals the inside secrets on how any education professional can fully leverage LinkedIn for both themselves - and in support of implementing the Gatsby Benchmarks within their school or college. In addition to highlighting how to create a professional profile on LinkedIn, as a special bonus, Philip also shares proven networking and communication scripts that can be used either when connecting on LinkedIn or when engaging with the local business community. If you are a teacher, education professional or school careers lead, this book is a must read! Get your copy now...
