  • Connections to Community: analysis of global trends and economy.
  • Career Life Plan: encouraging students to explore a wide variety of career and education options through analysis of labour and market trends, workplace safety, work experience opportunities, and identification of essential career and employability skills.

 

CAREER LIFE EDUCATION- LEADERSHIP  11

No Prerequisite/ Acceptance by application

Good leaders are needed for today and the future.  This course is designed for those students who wish to develop and discover leadership values, attitudes, and skills within their classroom and community. This course is open to Grade 11 students who want to help to create a positive school environment through active participation.

 

Topics include:

  • Learning to be an Effective Leader
  • Event Planning
  • Self-Image and Motivation
  • Goal Setting
  • Problem Solving/Decision Making

Students taking this course will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of leadership events and projects based in Palmer.

Applications are available in the office and are due by 3pm on February 09, 2024.

Late Applications will NOT be considered.

Students taking Leadership will meet the learning standards for Career Life Education and receive 4 credits for Career Life Education. 

 

CAREER LIFE CONNECTIONS AND CAPSTONE (CLC and Capstone) 12

This is a required course (4 credits) for graduation. Students will receive a percentage and a letter grade on their official transcript for CLC and Capstone. This course is currently being developed at Palmer as a non-enrolling class; work will be done both online and outside of regular class time.  Students will continue to explore a variety of learning outcomes that are directly relevant to their future personal wellness, living arrangements, financial planning and career pathways. CLC will invite students to consider the impact of their personal and career choices on themselves and others. All students will prepare and present a Capstone Project where students will reflect on a personal passion or interest, and share how they have grown and learned in the core competencies and as a global citizen.
