Unit Titles and Descriptions

Finding a Job

Students already have a range of skills, interests and experiences that make them employable, the challenge is finding just the right match between their current profile and employment that is available. In this unit, students analyze current strengths and interests. They then discuss what strategies they might employ right now to become more competitive in the job market. Students discuss what to expect, in terms of their rights and responsibilities, if they get a job. Finally, students go through strategies for résumé and cover letter writing, approaching employers with or without job ads, interviewing, and other skills prerequisite to the job hunt.

Taking the Reins

While students might be employable now, they might not yet be in a position to go after their dream career. That might take some more schooling, experience or other skills. Students are provided with an overview in this unit of a wide range of educational opportunities available to them beyond secondary school. Students discuss types of jobs available in a number of different sectors, and some of the professional organizations that regulate them. Then, students analyze one interesting possibility-that of entrepreneurship, or being their own boss.

Future Career

Students now have a sense of their skills and interests, they have identified one or more careers that they might like to have in the future, and they've been presented with a variety of opportunities available to them after high school to get there. Where do they begin? This unit is about taking what students know about themselves and about what is available, and making a plan. The unit goes over planning a path for education, job experience, and acquiring skills that will make them competitive. They discuss the virtues of, and strategies for, networking both in person and on the web. Finally, there is a section all about the more realistic aspects of the job hunt-job futures analysis, what to do in the case of unemployment, and strategies for planning alternate career paths without compromising their primary goals.

Life After High School

Students have worked out a plan for what they want to do throughout the course, but they need to consider how they will pay for it all. This unit goes through various methods of paying, saving, and budgeting for their future. It explores expenses they will face in their first year living on their own, post-secondary education costs, financial planning, sources of income, options for loans, bursaries, banking, and creating a post-secondary that will help them achieve their financial goals.

Teaching and Learning Strategies:

Our theory of assessment and evaluation follows the Ministry of Education's Growing Success document, and it is our firm belief that doing so is in the best interests of students. We seek to design assessment in such a way as to make it possible to gather and show evidence of learning in a variety of ways to gradually release responsibility to the students, and to give multiple and varied opportunities to reflect on learning and receive detailed feedback.

Growing Success articulates the vision the Ministry has for the purpose and structure of assessment and evaluation techniques. There are seven fundamental principles that ensure best practices and procedures of assessment and evaluation by Virtual High School teachers. VHS assessments and evaluations,

● are fair, transparent, and equitable for all students;

● support all students, including those with special education needs, those who are learning the language of instruction (English or French), and those who are First Nation, Métis, or Inuit;

● are carefully planned to relate to the curriculum expectations and learning goals and, as much as possible, to the interests, learning styles and preferences, needs, and experiences of all students;

● are communicated clearly to students and parents at the beginning of the course and at other points throughout the school year or course;

● are ongoing, varied in nature, and administered over a period of time to provide multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate the full range of their learning;

● provide ongoing descriptive feedback that is clear, specific, meaningful, and timely to support improved learning and achievement;

● develop students’ self-assessment skills to enable them to assess their own learning, set specific goals, and plan next steps for their learning.
