# Grade 10 Career and Life Management: Year at a Glance ## Overview Career and Life Management for Grade 10 organizes the year around three general outcomes: personal choices, resource choices, and career and life choices. Students examine the emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual and physical dimensions of health and the way these dimensions interact to shape personal well-being. They study financial decision-making, consumer skills and the management of personal resources in ways that reflect their own values and goals. They also build the skills and processes needed to manage career development as an ongoing, lifelong activity.
