Course Description
Aim The aim of senior high school Career and Life Management (CALM) is to enable students to make well-informed, considered decisions and choices in all aspects of their lives and to develop behaviors and attitudes that contribute to the well-being and respect of self and others, now and in the future.
CALM 20 is a graduation requirement for the Alberta Education diploma and certificate. CALM is the core course for health literacy at the senior high level.
Course Structure and Organization
General Outcomes The aim of the CALM course is articulated through three general outcomes.
General Outcome 1: Personal Choices • Students will apply an understanding of the emotional/psychological, intellectual, social, spiritual and physical dimensions of health— and the dynamic interplay of these factors—in managing personal well-being.
General Outcome 2: Resource Choices • Students will make responsible decisions in the use of finances and other resources that reflect personal values and goals and demonstrate commitment to self and others.
General Outcome 3: Career and Life Choices • Students will develop and apply processes for managing personal, lifelong career development
These three general outcomes serve as the foundation of the CALM course, and each general outcome is to be addressed. The general outcomes are interrelated and interdependent. For example, processes for responsible decision making regarding the use of resources are also related to career choices. All choices influence and are influenced by the interrelationship of the dimensions of well-being. For student learning, an understanding of these interconnections is crucial, since life decisions often involve the intricate dynamics of balance between many areas simultaneously.
