During senior year, students will complete and refine their Future Readiness Portfolio, ensuring artifacts and reflections clearly demonstrate growth across all four years of high school. The portfolio should show depth, ownership, and readiness for the student’s chosen post-secondary pathway.

Progression Focus:
Grade 9 — Who am I?
Grade 10 — What matters to me, and where could that lead?
Grade 11 — What is my plan, and how do I move toward it?
Grade 12 — How do I articulate my growth and my next steps?

• Complete Grade 12 College & Career Readiness activities
  Grade 12 College & Career Readiness activities focus on reflection, purpose, and definition of success as students prepare to transition beyond high school.
  
  

  Defining Success
  Students participate in guided discussions and reflection activities to examine what success means to them in their personal lives, education, and future careers. This lesson emphasizes curiosity as a tool for growth and lifelong learning.

  Through this activity, students will:

  • Understand what it means to feel challenged, satisfied, and successful in a career

  • Define personal success across life, school, and career contexts

  • Explore ways to make a difference and achieve success in careers of interest

  • Investigate how curiosity supports ongoing growth and success
    
    

• Upload one artifact for each Core Competency
  Students will continue refining their Future Readiness Portfolio, expanding on work from Grades 9 and 10 with artifacts that demonstrate increased depth, ownership, and connection to post-secondary goals.

  • Character

  • Collaboration

  • Communication

  • Content Knowledge

  • Creativity

  • Critical Thinking

  Grade 12 artifacts should demonstrate mastery, reflection, and readiness, showing how students have applied the six Core Competencies to real-world learning and future planning.
  
  

• Workplace Exploration Experience

  
  By the end of Grade 12, students will complete their final 5 hours of Workplace Exploration, building on earlier experiences. This experience allows students to deepen real-world understanding of their chosen field and reflect on how workplace learning informs their post-secondary plans.
  

  
  

• Senior Presentation
  In the spring of their senior year, students will deliver a formal Senior Presentation (6–9 minutes) that serves as the culmination of the Future Readiness Project. The presentation will include:

  • A clear articulation of the student’s post-secondary goal

  • A detailed action plan outlining steps to achieve the goal, including:

    • Educational objectives

    • Financial planning considerations

    • A realistic timeline

  • Evidence-based reflection demonstrating growth in at least three of the six Core Competencies from freshman through senior year, supported by specific portfolio artifacts

  • A summary of the Workplace Exploration Experience, including:

    • Mentor background

    • Tasks and activities observed or completed

    • Key learnings and insights

    • How the experience influenced post-secondary goals and plans
