CAREERS AND PLANNING

* to graduate, student is required to complete 2 courses in Career Education New: Career Education Life and Career Life Connections & Capstone are to be Graded (no longer ‘Requirements Met’) *Grade 10 - Career Education Life will replace Planning 10 starting fall 2017 **Grade 11 - Career Life Connections & Capstone Course will replace GT. Student will chose one of the two Career Life Connections Options (Option 1 - Post-Secondary or Option 2 - Transition to Work & Travel) required for graduation. If you wait and take the course in grade 12, at this time we are not sure if the Career Life Connections & Capstone course will be a class or taken outside of the timetable.

The Career Education curriculum involves students in research, problem solving, and decision making relevant to career planning. Students need opportunities to explore and research a multitude of education and career pathways. These pathways require graduates who can confidently be self-direct, display initiative, set priorities, establish goals, and take responsibility for pursuing those goals in an ever-changing society. Career Education offers individual students opportunities to acquire the knowledge and competencies necessary for success in school, in the workplace, and in their daily lives.

Students will also be introduced to the Capstone Project, which must be completed to graduate. YOUTH TRAIN IN TRADES – SD#36 PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM Get a head start on your career in the trade industry. Get your first year paid for and receive dual credits! The Youth Train in Trades (District Partnership) programs have been developed by the Surrey School District in partnership with BCIT, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, NVIT, Surrey College and Vancouver Community College. District Partnerships allow students the opportunity to complete part or all of a foundation level trades training program while they are completing their secondary school graduation requirements. Students accepted into a Partnership Program typically spend one semester of their grade 11 or grade 12 school year attending training at the college site. Tuition in these programs is paid for by the Surrey School District. Acceptance is based on an application and interview process. Please see the Career Centre for course requirements and applications BEFORE March 2017. What Youth Train in Trades are offered?

ENGLISH FIRST PEOPLES 10 English First Peoples 10 is a course developed jointly by the First Nations Education Steering Committee and the BC Ministry of Education to represent Aboriginal literature in BC’s English Language Arts curriculum. This course addresses mature themes as they pertain to the experiences of First Nations peoples in BC, Canada and abroad. Any student may take this course as its value lies in shared understandings of First Nations experiences and cultures. The provincially prescribed curriculum for English First Peoples 10 focuses on the values, beliefs, and lived realities of First Peoples as evidenced in various forms of oral, visual, and written texts. EFP 10 is the academic equivalent of English Language Arts 10, and completes the English 10 credit for graduation. This course may also be taken as an elective and in addition to English 10, out of interest or for pleasure. English 11 Focused Literary Studies 11: Classic Literature This course is a survey study of some of the greatest classic works of English Literature from the following periods in history: Anglo-Saxon & Medieval Times; the Renaissance & 17th Century; the 18th Century & Romantic Period; and the Victorian Era & 20th Century. Additionally, a few “current classic” Canadian and Aboriginal Literature will also be included. Through a seminar style, discussion based, interactive, dramatic and artist, multi-media, and hands-on learning approach, this course encourages students to engage in literary analysis on a critical and personal level while they read the English canon.

20TH CENTURY WORLD HISTORY 11 As an extension of the history topics learned in Social Studies 10, this course will take a more worldly view of these topics and challenge students with questions like: Why do nations enter into conflict? ● How have global conflicts (such as WWI, WWII and the Cold War) changed our world

today? ● How have nations dealt with social, cultural and ideological differences within their own

nations and with other nations? ● How have human rights movements shaped our understanding of the world? ● How has technology affected communication, transportation and the global economy? GEOGRAPHY 11/12 Have you ever wondered why we live where we live? The purpose of Human Geography is to introduce students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and alteration of Earth’s surface. It is based on human interaction with the environment: How humans modify, adapt and depend on it. Students will employ spatial concepts, mapping and landscape analysis to examine human social organization. The goal is to think critically about what is revealed and what is hidden. When a disaster occurs, what happens not only at the time but, what happens after, what happens to the people of that area, and could we have been better prepared? This is a university approved grade 12 academic course. COMPARATIVE CULTURES 11/12 This class focuses on understanding diversity and complexity of cultural expressions around the world and is designed to provide students with an opportunity to examine ancient civilizations and societies up to the 16th Century from a cultural perspective. Topics covered include: myths, worldviews, political organizations, religious beliefs, celebrations, food, art, architecture, music and literature. Some key questions to consider include:

● What is culture? ● What factors have influenced the development of cultures over time? ● How does culture shape who we are? ● How do value and belief systems shape power structures within a culture?

22

SOCIAL JUSTICE 11/12 “Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that” (Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love, 1963). With respect to Martin Luther King's quotation, Social Justice 12 explores various issues of equality, equity and justice in society (and hence their counterparts of inequality, inequity, and injustice). Sample inquiry topics include the following: anti-racism, anti-poverty, environmental and ecological justice, LGBTQ, status of women, First Peoples' rights, disabilities, peace, and globalization. In examining the differences between social service, social responsibility, and social justice, the course encourages students to develop a commitment to advocate and work toward a more socially just society. Social Justice 12 is a participatory course that requires respectful and open dialogue of controversial issues, self-reflection, social analysis, respect for diversity and inclusion, and a willingness to take responsible action for change. SPECIAL NOTE: This course is on the list for academically approved grade 12 course for most post-secondary institutions.

GRADE 12 COURSES: HISTORY 12 As an extension of the history topics learned in Social studies 11, this course will take a more worldly view of these topics and challenge students with questions like: Why do nations enter into conflict? ● How have global conflicts (such as WWI, WWII and the Cold War) changed our world

today? ● How have nations dealt with social, cultural and ideological differences within their own
