During a school year, students can experience ACGC through the subjects taught and learning activities. Along the ACGC continuum, 19 elements are targeted. The content is compulsory but does not constitute a subject and is therefore not subject to evaluation.
ACGC is divided into three areas of knowledge associated with strategies that promote student learning.
Self-knowledge
The student learns to know himself better and identify personal characteristics:
- Interests, abilities, values, aspirations and assets
- Attitudes, behaviours and perceptions contributing to a sense of personal competence
Knowledge of the school world
The student learns to better prepare for the challenges of his school career:
- School transitions (elementary to secondary, Cycle 1 to Cycle 2, high school to post-secondary)
- The Quebec school system and school choices
Knowledge of the working world
Students learn to be better prepared for the challenges and demands of the labor market:
- Links between self-knowledge and the worlds of school and work
- Exploration of trades and professions
