BC Ministry of Education Capstone Information
The Capstone is a two part process at KSS. Part 1 is a culmination of your Career Life Exploration & Connections classes from Grade 10, 11 and 12. Students must gather evidence from these learning experience to meet the Mandatory Graduation Requirements outlined in the Big Ideas. Part 2 is your opportunity to turn these learning opportunities and formulate a formal presentation. Students can think of this opportunity like a Graduation Project highlighting their Learning Story, Skill Demonstration and Career Exploration Pathway.
Capstone Structure
Part 1: Personalized Learning Maps (Gr. 10-12)
The Capstone learning maps allow you to engage in and reflect on competency-based learning. The three learning maps work together to help you create a comprehensive picture of who you are in the process of becoming as you transition from high school. Each learning map will allow you to determine which learning experiences have been most meaningful for you. You will gather evidence and reflect on who you are, the skills that you have acquired, and how these relate to your career exploration and pathway. You will get ongoing, informal feedback through conferencing with your mentor, peers, and Career Life Connections teacher.
Core Competencies and the Capstone
Throughout your K-12 learning experiences, you have engaged in ongoing, purposeful, and meaningful reflection on your personal development of the core competencies. As you prepare to transition from high school, the Capstone is the embodiment of, and final reflective component to your K – 12 learning experience. In Grade 12 you have the opportunity to draw on your powerful learning experiences, core competencies and skill development and future career pathways in order to tell the story of who you are becoming.
