Crafting a Career Vision Statement for a Future Teacher

My career is to become a teacher
A career vision statement helps you visualize yourself in the career you really want—the
career that will bring you fulfillment and joy. Your vision is a “picture” of what you aspire
to and what inspires you within your work life.
For this assignment, you will begin painting the picture of your career vision. Your
mental image will be drafted into a career vision statement. Career vision statements
are very powerful and meaningful when paired with career exploration. Creating a vision
statement may take several attempts and rewrites until you identify with your career
vision statement.
