Stage 1 Exploring Identities and Futures (EIF)

SACE CREDITS: 10 credits

KEY CONTACT: Brooke Nykiel and Fran Charlton

COURSE CONTENT:
EIF represents a shift away from viewing students as participants in learning, to empowered co-designers of their own learning. Students will be responsible for exploring learning opportunities, exercising their agency, and building connections with others.

In this subject, students:

• develop agency by exploring their identity, interests, strengths, skills, capabilities and or values; and making choices about their learning
• demonstrate self-efficacy through planning and implementing actions to develop their capabilities and connecting with future aspirations
• apply self-regulation skills by contributing to activities to achieve goals, seeking feedback, and making decisions
• develop their communication skills through interaction, collaboration, sharing evidence of their learning progress and developing connections with others.

EIF helps students to plan for their future and assists them in choosing the subjects they will study in Years 11 and 12.

Each level of achievement describes the knowledge, skills, and understanding that your teacher will refer to in deciding how well you have demonstrated your learning, on the basis of the evidence provided.
