Critical Student Reflections

Master teachers have found the preparation of their personal career profile is a key and transformational part of this lesson for students.

This page is part of the Careers in Physics toolkit.

After students discuss their matching matrix results, they are encouraged to discuss the new careers in physics they learned about, and reflect on how their perceptions of careers in physics have changed. Afterwards, students complete a personal career profile in which they envision themselves as a future physicist.
