Safety & Skills

Safety resources have been developed for CTS. Sometimes these resources are appropriate for working with students in grades 5 - 9, and sometimes they are not. The resources identified on this page are appropriate to support CTF learning environments that are healthy and safe for students, teachers, and other participants.

• The Occupational Health & Safety School Kit (K-12) - developed by Jobs, Skills, Training & Labour

• The Guide to Career & Technology Studies (CTS) - developed by Alberta Education

• Media Smarts is a not-for-profit Canadian organization dedicated to promoting media and digital literacy for children and youth. http://mediasmarts.ca/

• CTF Occupational Area Skills & Knowledge Lists (1) - Lists that identify some, but not all, of the occupational skills and knowledge of respective fields of work within occupational areas. We would like to stress that these are NOT OUTCOMES but simply occupational area skills and knowledge for students to EXPLORE during CTF challenges.
