Who Do I Want To Become?
For anyone, of any age, who has been stumped by the question of what they’re going to be when they grow up.
A class project is due, and Dylan is struggling with the question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Ultimately, he realizes that it’s who you are that matters the most.
Who Do I Want To Become? is a refreshing new take on a question asked time and time again. One that invites us to discover something wonderful about ourselves that has nothing to do with what you want to be and everything to do with who you are and who you want to be.

The Framework
This learning framework translates the big question, Who Do I Want To Become? and positions student self-actualization and self-leadership as the driving force of the educational experience. It provides teachers, students, parents and guardians a tool for instructional design, learning and at-home support.
Lesson Plans
Each lesson plan demonstrates the use of the framework in a classroom setting. A sample lesson is provided for each grade level from Kindergarten to Grade 6. Sample lesson plans for Kindergarten and Grades 1, 2, 3 and 4 make explicit connections to the book Who Do I Want to Become?, and sample lessons for Grades 5 and 6 make explicit connections to a workshop available for teachers. Taken together, the lessons demonstrate how teachers can cover curriculum expectations effectively while benefiting from the message of the narrative. Please note: lesson plans were created in accordance to the Ontario Curriculum.
Curriculum
We’ve created a comprehensive curriculum map which illustrates the integration of the book, framework and a set of specific expectations from the Ontario K-6 curriculum. To receive a copy of the complete curriculum map, please e-mail hello@whodoiwanttobecome.com
