Course Outline

Planning 10

Ms. Tish Silvers

Rationale and Goals

     The aim of Planning 10 is to enable students to develop the skills they need to become self-directed individuals who set goals, make thoughtful decisions, and take responsibility for pursuing their goals throughout life. Planning 10 provides relevant and experiential learning opportunities, helping students relate their learning in school to the demands of the working world and the expectations of society. It also provides opportunities for students to develop those skills, attitudes and behaviors that will allow them to manage their lives more purposefully and effectively, enhance their personal well-being, and realize their full potential.
