Big Ideas

• Sample questions to support inquiry-based learning:
  • In what ways can we integrate knowledge of self and educational/labour market realities to pursue our preferred futures?
  • How can our values and passions inform career-life decision making?
  • How do we respectfully navigate competing social, familial, and cultural expectations as we pursue our preferred career-life pathways?

For example, internal factors may include personal interests, abilities, and competencies, and external factors may include place-based, community, and digital influences and circumstances.

for example:

• sustainability and economic trends
• shifts in societal norms, such as family roles and structures, living arrangements (e.g., with immediate or multi-generational family/families, on-reserve or off-reserve, alone, with friends, with partner), expectations for self-regulation of work/life balance
• influence of place, such as urban, suburban, small town, rural, remote
• work options, such as entrepreneurship, flexible work schedules, working from home
