Graduation Program:
Unit One: Graduation Program
What am I doing?
During this unit you will learn about the high school graduation program. To graduate you will need to understand the different components of grade 10, 11 and 12. More importantly you can use this information to make decisions about which university or college to attend or how to find a job after graduation.
By the end of the unit you will have started Graduation Transitions, reviewed your Grade 10 courses, planned the courses you will take in Grades 11 and 12, and begin to research your options for after graduation.
Why am I doing it?
By the end of this unit you will be able to:
- describe how one or more Focus Areas of interest relate to education and career options
- describe the requirements of the Graduation Transitions program
- identify the course requirements for the Graduation Program
- identify ways of earning credits for the Graduation Program (e.g., in-school courses, external credits)
- identify the exam requirements for the Graduation Program, including required and optional exams
How will it be marked?
You will be asked to create your own graduation plan using our course selection guide. Once your work is submitted it will be reviewed by your teacher and can be used to discuss your future plans when meeting with counselors and parents. Suggestions and comments will help you adjust your high school program to meet your learning goals.
This unit will comprise 20% of your Planning 10 mark.
Who Am I Project
Who Am I? Project
To get started in Planning, it is important to know who you are and the forces that have shaped you as a person. You also need to have some ideas about where you might be headed in the rest of you life. Planning is also a course where you will be sharing some of your lives with the rest of the class and discussing things such as finances, health and career ideas, so this assignment will help us all to get to know you and your background a little better.
