The guidance room - The School Edition
The guidance room, the School Edition, supports reflection on how competence areas are applied in guidance conversations with students, how professional judgement is exercised, and how career learning is facilitated in school settings.
How to use this resource
This resource is designed to support reflection and discussion based on the school cases in The Guidance Room. The films offer insight into different guidance situations and are intended to be used as a starting point for professional dialogue and learning.
Each case includes two short film episodes:
- Episode One introduces the guidance seeker and their situation.
- Episode Two shows selected moments from a guidance session, illustrating professional considerations and dilemmas.
Each case includes two sets of questions:
- Initial thematic reflection questions, which focus on first impressions and key elements in the guidance process
- Thematic reflection questions, which invite deeper exploration of specific themes, competences and dilemmas
You may use the resource in different ways, depending on your context:
- Watch the film in full and reflect individually or together with colleagues
- Use the initial questions to guide a first discussion after viewing
- Revisit selected parts of the film to explore specific situations in more detail
- Use the thematic questions to support deeper analysis and connect practice to theory and competence areas
The films show selected moments from guidance processes and do not represent complete sessions. This opens up space for interpretation, critical reflection and discussion of alternative approaches.
You may also connect your reflections to the self-assessment tool My competence, using the questions as a starting point for identifying and developing your own professional competences.
The questions are not intended to provide correct answers, but to support exploration of different perspectives, professional judgement and awareness of one’s own practice.
