Broad Areas of Learning

There are three Broad Areas of Learning that reflect Saskatchewan's Goals of Education. Levels 6-9 Core French contribute to the Goals of Education through helping students achieve knowledge, skills and attitudes related to these broad areas of learning.

Related to the following Goals of Education:

  • Basic Skills
  • Lifelong Learning
  • Positive Lifestyle

Lifelong Learners

Students are curious, observant, and reflective as they imagine, explore, and construct knowledge. They demonstrate the understandings, abilities, and dispositions necessary to learn from subject discipline studies, cultural experiences, and other ways of knowing the world. Such ways of knowing support students' appreciation of Indigenous worldviews and learning about, with, and from others. Students are able to engage in inquiry and collaborate in learning experiences that address the needs and interests of self and others. Through this engagement, students demonstrate a passion for lifelong learning.

Related to the following Goals of Education:

  • Understanding and Relating to Others
  • Self Concept Development
  • Spiritual Development

Sense of Self, Community, and Place

Students possess a positive sense of identity and understand how it is shaped through interactions within natural and constructed environments. They are able to nurture meaningful relationships and appreciate diverse beliefs, languages, and practices from the First Peoples of Saskatchewan and from the diversity of cultures in our province. Through these relationships, students demonstrate empathy and a deep understanding of self, others, and the influence of place on identity. In striving to balance their intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions, students' sense of self, community, and place is strengthened.

Related to the following Goals of Education:

  • Career and Consumer
  • Decisions
  • Membership in Society
  • Growing with Change

Engaged Citizens

Students demonstrate confidence, courage, and commitment in shaping positive change for the benefit of all. They contribute to the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of local and global communities. Their informed life, career, and consumer decisions support positive actions that recognize a broader relationship with, and responsibility for, natural and constructed environments. Along with this responsibility, students recognize and respect the mutual benefits of Charter, Treaty, and other constitutional rights and relationships. Through this recognition, students advocate for self and others, and act for the common good as engaged citizens.
