Career Ed is taught taught by Mr. Bosch. From time to time, info related to his activities may be found here.
Students have begun analyzing their personal skills/characteristics, and are moving towards finding careers that subsequently align with their strengths. Additionally, students are working on identifying factors that cause them stress in their lives, and are learning effective stress management techniques that can be applied to both their school lives, and their future careers. Students are currently creating “Stress Management Technique Fact Sheets” which will be due on Thursday, November 28.

PAA
Practical and Applied Arts is a generally integrated set of activities focused on skills that support or enhance learning. This year, I will focus on two broad categories.

Typing Activities
- Integration of technology. Students will learn how to use cloud storage for sharing and collaboration as well specific features of Microsoft tools including Word, PowerPoint and Excel. This school year, students will be required to produce polished written compositions using Word templates, deliver individual and group presentations using PowerPoint and build graphs using Excel. I plan to do some coding as well, time permitting. It teaches algorithmic thinking and it's actually quite fun. My hope is to improve mathematical thinking as a benefit.
- Television production. This winter, all students will participate in the Telemedia program ultimately producing both an interview and television commercial at our studio. This current edition was produced by me for use by Gr. 7 teachers in our division.
