LEAN Career Design Canvas
The LEAN Career Design Canvas helps students not only collect the dots of life (experiences in school and community), but also ignites a process to connect the dots of their experiences. The canvas process invites learners to identify and reflect on experiences to learn the importance of asking ‘why’ in all they do and create. With a supportive career coach, a user engages a unique big-picture design process to identify recurring themes, patterns, and possibilities of a life in progress.
The LEan Career Design Canvas may be used in a variety of contexts:
1. Career courses with career and life pathing outcomes,
2. Academic courses with career units that help students see the relevance and ‘why’ of the content and learning in their lives and career paths,
3. Special projects or workshops that help students think about their best selves,
4. One-on-one career coaching between students, teachers, parents, and career coaches.
