To introduce Grade 9 students to the CLC Program, there are two small assessments throughout the year that connect them with the Core Competency Skill Statements; the driving forces of the Capstone Portfolio. First, after completing Take Our Kids to Work Day, grade 9 students will complete a brief assessment that connects their experiences of the day to the Core Competency Skill Statements. Second, at the end of their Grade 9 year, students will complete the Core Competency Self-Assessment to officially begin their Capstone journey at Spectrum. The format of this Ministry of Education-mandated self-assessment has been created by our own teachers to align with the Capstone project that Spectrum students will begin in their grade 10 year and culminate in either December or May of their graduating year. For more information on the Capstone project and the course, CLC, that it is a part of, please find the appropriate links at the top of this page.
