Career and Technology Foundations (CTF)
How does CTF Benefit Students? CTF allows students to explore their interests and passions through meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that introduce them to career opportunities and the occupational areas.
CTF Key Highlights • flexible to accommodate various learning environments • focus on the learning process, not solely on the product • not grade-specific • supports interdisciplinary connections • promotes a foundation of literacy and numeracy • focus on the cross-curricular competencies found in the Ministerial Order on Student Learning • encourages personalized learning based on the student’s learning needs • foundational for CTS, but NOT a prerequisite
CTS Compass with 5 Occupational Clusters and the Occupational Areas
CTF Outcomes (DRAFT) CTF is exploring interests, passions and skills while making personal connections to career possibilities. • I explore my interests and passions while making personal connections to career possibilities. • I use skills/technologies associated with occupational areas. • I follow safety requirements associated with occupational areas and related technologies.
CTF Outcomes (DRAFT) CTF is designing, creating, appraising and communicating responses to challenges. • I problem solve in response to challenges. • I design in response to challenges. • I adapt to change and unexpected events. • I make decisions in response to challenges. • I appraise product(s), performance(s) or service(s) created in response to challenges. • I appraise the skills/technologies I use in response to challenges. • I communicate my learning.
CTF Outcomes (DRAFT) CTF is working independently and with others while exploring careers and technology. • I describe how my actions affect learning. • I develop skills that support effective relationships. • I collaborate to achieve common goals.
Ministerial Order on Student Learning Discover, develop and apply competencies across subject and discipline areas for learning, work and life to enable students to: know how to learn think critically identify and solve complex problems manage information Founded on literacy and numeracy innovate create opportunities apply multiple literacies demonstrate good communication and the ability to work cooperatively with others demonstrate global and cultural understanding identify and apply career and life skills through personal growth and well-being
Stages of Assessment Possibilities for CTF Learning Outcomes Acquire Construct meaning and understand the requirements of the task Apply Use information and understand relationships to demonstrate and/or perform a task Adapt Assess, integrate and transform knowledge and ideas
Assessment Possibilities for CTF Learning Outcomes Developing understanding of Acquire problem-solving strategies I problem solve in response to challenges. Apply Application of problem-solving strategies Adapt Investigation of problem-solving strategies
Assessment Possibilities for CTF Learning Outcomes I problem solve in response to challenges. Apply Provides insight as to the effectiveness of problem-solving strategies used to respond to challenges Apply problem-solving strategies Refines problem - solving strategies based on effectiveness to respond to challenges Appraises strengths and limitations of problem-solving strategies used to respond to challenges Applies problem -solving strategies to respond to challenges

Safety and CTF
Safety Learning Outcome (DRAFT) • I follow safety requirements associated with occupational areas and related technologies.
Safety…Everyone’s Responsibility According to the School Act: • A board shall ensure that each student enrolled in a school operated by the board is provided with a safe and caring environment that fosters and maintains respectful and responsible behaviours. Teachers must: • provide competent instruction to students • teach the programs of study that are prescribed, approved or authorized • be responsible for each student’s health and safety while under teacher supervision.
Culture of Health and Safety Health and safety concerns in the CTF learning environment vary greatly from occupational area to occupational area. By promoting awareness of health and safety throughout the CTF learning environment, students develop a positive attitude toward their safety and that of others. The attitudes, skills, knowledge and values they develop around safety will eventually permeate into both their private and professional lives.

Building Safety Together! CTF Exemplar Resource:
Modelling the Process • 2011 – Collaborative curriculum development process started with Calgary Board of Education and Red Deer Catholic Regional Division. • October 2013 – Formally scaled up collaborative process to include 4 Francophone and 13 Anglophone school authorities. • 2014 – 2015 o Working with additional school authorities as they request interest in becoming involved with scaling up. o Using the collaborative process to refine and validate the draft CTF curriculum, and to identify ways to support teachers.
Visit Alberta Education’s CTF webpage: http: bit. ly/CTFfct • refinement and validation of draft CTF curriculum • draft CTF curriculum available for provincial scaling up 2014– 2015 school year Next Steps • CTF provincial implementation September 2015
