Choices Into Action

Guidance and Career Education is mandated in our schools through a Ministry of Education Policy Document called “Choices Into Action”.  This document outlines competencies to be covered in the school Guidance and Career Education Program from grades 1 to 12.
The program is not taught as a separate subject such as mathematics or history, instead, skills are learned throughout the curriculum, blending across many areas of study.
There are 3 major areas identified in Choices Into Action.
  1. Student Development
  2. Interpersonal Development
  3. Career Development
These three areas will be explained in upcoming newsletters, and we will be highlighting some of the ways that these skills are observed and can be addressed:
  • in the school
  • at home
  • in the community
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
