Guidance and Career Education
Choices Into Action: Guidance and Career Education Program Policy for Ontario Elementary and Secondary Schools 1999
For their educational, social, career success in the twenty-first century, students will require effective work habits and the ability to make sound decisions, solve problems, plan effectively, work independently, communicate well, research, evaluate themselves realistically, explore new educational and career opportunities. A carefully planned Guidance and career education program, beginning in the elementary grades and continuing through secondary school, will help students acquire these skills.The program helps students learn how to set goals for their education or training after high school and develop the knowledge and skills that will help them manage their learning throughout their lives. The components of the program are:
- The Ontario Curriculum-elementary and secondary
- Orientation and exit programs
- The Annual Education Plan and Individual Education Plan
- Academic and Career Portfolios
- Career Exploration activities
- Workshops, seminars and small groups
- Mentorship programs
- Peer Assistance programs
- Individual and short-term counselling
