All outcomes in the CTF Program of Studies should be addressed in each CTF course.
In keeping with the goal of Career and Technology Foundations (CTF) program of studies for
students in grades 5-9, students will be provided with opportunities to become immersed in
hands-on experiential learning. Through purposeful challenges, students will explore their
interests, utilize their skills and abilities, and develop knowledge as they make connections
with occupational opportunities. CTF, although not a prerequisite, serves as a transitional
foundation to Career and Technology Studies (CTS). Within CTS, which students will experience
in grades 10 through 12, students’ interests, skills, and abilities will be further developed and
refined into opportunities for employment or further education. Through participation in both
CTF and CTS courses, students will have the opportunity to discover and experience a variety of
occupational areas, fostering their interests, passions, and goals.
The CTF program of studies is organized into five clusters: Business, Communication, Human
Services, Resources, and Technology. These clusters are then divided further and categorized
into 28 occupational areas. Through the creation of purposeful challenges that integrate these
five clusters, students will have the opportunity to explore a great deal of these occupational
areas, allowing students to identify interests and strengths, and to explore these further
throughout CTF and, later, CTS.
Allowing students the opportunity to develop foundational skills such as food handling and
preparation, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving is important in any setting.
These are skills, abilities, and knowledge that can (and should) be developed and utilized
throughout one’s life. These skills and knowledge becomes more important in the context of
rural settings, where students may be of low socioeconomic status, or may not have the
opportunity to pursue further education or to work outside of the home. By providing
students with a variety of foundational skills that can be developed and implemented
throughout their schooling, they will be better equipped to become empowered and
successful later in life, regardless of what one’s definition of “success” may be.
Welcome to “World P’s” where you will learn to Preserve, Plan, and Prepare food like a Pro!
You will work together in small teams to problem-solve and create ideas that you will then put into
action!
Each week you will receive a mystery basket of locally-sourced produce and/or meat.
It will be up to you to plan, prepare, or preserve your mystery basket items into real food – and yes, you
will get to eat it!
You will show me how and what you are learning through creating video diaries to document your
planning and preparing processes. You will also create a recipe book of all recipes you find and want to
try!
Not only will you learn techniques on how to turn resources from your own (or your neighbours’)
backyard into nutritious and delicious foods, you will also get to enjoy trying new things, learning from
others, and, most of all, having fun.
