Students

Know Yourself!

 

Here are some assessments for Gr 8 - 12 students to help them find out more valuable information about themselves - their strengths and challenges - and use that knowledge to guide them in making choices for their lives after BESS.

 

Assessments:

 

Learning style: http://www.educationplanner.org/students/self-assessments/learning-styles.shtml

 

Aptitude Tests: Take 3 of these aptitude tests (The Myers Briggs and Holland Career Code are recommended),  and write a paragraph for each one that includes the name of the test, a short description of the test, the date you took it, your results, and a reflection on how your results fit with what you know about yourself currently.  For example, do the results fit? Did it surprise you? How does this information help shape your thoughts about your future?  https://student-tutor.com/blog/top-career-tests-for-high-school-students/

 

Mindset Quiz: Mindset is the idea that some of us approach our learning with a fixed, growth or mixed mindset.  Knowing your mindset can help you understand another part of your learning style.  https://www.mindsetworks.com/assess/

 

Multiple Intelligences: Howard Gardner developed the idea that there are many different ways of knowing and that we each have different intelligences.  Like learning styles, our intelligences help us understand our strengths and interests, as well as how to deal with challenges.  https://www.literacynet.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html

 

Reflection activity:

 

Read The Animal School (https://greatresultsteambuilding.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/The-Animal-School-Fable.pdf) and write a reflection (3 – 5 paragraphs) about your own learning style, mindset, and multiple intelligences and what has been helpful/not helpful to you in your own learning journey. 

 

Post Secondary Planning:

 

Exploring Post Secondary opportunities:

Use this website to research 3 – 5 different post-secondary options and include a short pros/cons list for each one for yourself.  Examples could be (far away vs. close to home, expense, length of time, job options from degree) https://www.educationplannerbc.ca/search

 

Use this website to learn about funding opportunities for First Nations students in BC.  Connect this information to the schools you researched above and refine your search/list of possible post-secondary options based on your research  http://aboriginallearning.ca/planning-your-education/
