Career and Life Management for Senior High School. Guide to Implementation.
Alberta Learning, Edmonton.
This guide is intended to assist teachers with implementation of the prescribed outcomes in the "Program of Studies for Career and Life Management (CALM)" (2002). The goal of this program is to enable students to make well informed, considered decisions and choices in all aspects of their lives, and to develop behaviors and attitudes that contribute to the well-being and respect of self and others, now and in the future. CALM is the core course for health literacy at the senior high school level in Alberta and is a vital component of comprehensive school health education. It emphasizes knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, competencies and values, and provides students with opportunities to enhance their capacities in problem solving, critical thinking and reflection. The CALM course approaches health issues in a coherent and holistic way and is designed to improve students' theoretical understanding of health issues and their ability to apply knowledge and skills to personal situations. The aim of the CALM course is articulated through three general outcomes: personal choices, resource choices, and career and life choices. Three appendixes include sample portfolio pages, Employability Skills 2000+, and The Alberta Framework for Essential Competencies for Working, Learning and Living. (Contains 64 references.) (GCP)
