Teacher Advisor Program (TAP)
It is important for the Teacher Advisor Leadership Team in your school to be aware of the content being taught in the Career Studies course. There are many direct links between this course and the Teacher Advisor Program. All grade 10 teachers should be made aware of the topics covered in Career Studies.

Annual Education Plan (AEP)
The Annual Educational Plan is a detailed plan completed by students each year from Grades 7 to 12. The plan summarizes their learning, interpersonal and career goals, and the actions they intend to take to achieve these goals. Many of the Career Portfolio activities refer to the AEP and can be used with all grade levels when completing the plan.

Community Involvement
As part of their diploma requirements, students must complete a minimum of forty hours of community involvement activities. This community involvement is student initiated and parent/guardian monitored. It is the principal's responsibility to record the forty or more hours of community involvement before the diploma will be granted.
