Developing the Skills, Strategies, and Habits Needed to Succeed
A1. Skills, Strategies, and Habits That Contribute to Success Throughout this course, students will:
OVERALL EXPECTATION
A1. demonstrate an understanding of the skills, strategies, and habits that can contribute to success in the pursuit of educational and career/life opportunities and in the achievement of a healthy school/life/work balance
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
A1.1 demonstrate an understanding of the importance of resilience and perseverance in school, life, and work – why it is helpful to acquire skills for adapting to change, persevering in the face of adversity, learning from mistakes, and thinking positively about setbacks – and analyse how developing resilience and perseverance can help them in all areas of their lives
Examples
Importance of adaptive and coping skills: to maintain a positive outlook and a sense of well-being as they confront challenges; to thrive in the rapidly changing world of work
How such habits might be applied at school: seeking help from a teacher or parent after receiving a disappointing result and using the feedback to make improvements; advocating for themselves by articulating their strengths and needs so that others can help them be successful; In life: learning to work with and understand many different perspectives and approaches to an issue or problem; seeking guidance and support when faced with instances of bullying, racism, or stereotyping; finding healthy ways to cope with changes such as moving to a new town or a new home;
At work: consciously applying strategies to help them move on after not getting a desired job, such as seeking feedback and identifying steps to gain the necessary skills and experience; recognizing the importance of taking initiative and staying
