As someone who has grown up in the BC education program all my life, I am familiar with the BC curriculum however never really took the time to appreciate or understand the various components that comprise this comprehensive model. Just like you I am excited to work on applying these principles in my profession as an elementary school teacher and finding unique ways to meet the core competencies and big ideas expected of my students. I really liked how you touched on the fact that this model also has applications within coaching, and the sectors of health and wellness promotion working to develop various health skills to support students throughout their lives. In taking a holistic view, the BC curriculum has managed to provide something that can be applied in both the education world and beyond. I am curious to see the models that other provinces are using within their education systems and whether or not they are proving to be successful.
