Planning 10

Rationale for Curriculum

The aim of Planning 10 is to enable students to develop the skills they need to become self-directed individuals who set goals, make thoughtful decisions, and take responsibility for pursuing their goals throughout life.

Planning 10 provides opportunities for students to:

• plan for successful learning in the Graduation Program
• explore a wide range of post-secondary education and career options
• think critically about health issues and decisions
• develop financial literacy skills related to pursuing their education and career goals
• begin planning for their transition beyond secondary school.

Planning 10 provides relevant and experiential learning opportunities, helping students relate their learning in school to the demands of the working world and the expectations of society. It also provides opportunities for students to develop those skills, attitudes, and behaviours that will allow them to manage their lives more purposefully and effectively, enhance their personal well-being, and realize their full potential.

The intent of Planning 10 is to address a broad range of topics within the time available for the course. Planning 10 provides students with foundational skills and knowledge required to make decisions in their present and future lives.  Students can choose to explore these topics further through their elective studies and their work in relation to Graduation Transitions.
