This resource is produced to encourage parents/guardians and students to keep themselves informed about secondary education in Ontario and the programs in their schools. Parents/guardians are encouraged to talk with their student to help him/her make appropriate educational plans. This resource is divided into the following three sections.
The Course Selection Process
The final decision on course selection for students under 18 years of age rests with parents/guardians. Therefore, keeping in touch with the schools guidance counsellors is of great importance. Parents/ guardians should consider the students achievement for the past several years, in conjunction with the advice of the school, as aids in choosing a program within reasonable reach.
Section 1: Course Calendar Information
Provides basic factual information which relates to education across the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.
Course Option Sheet
Section 2: School Information and Course Offerings Secondary Schools
a. School Information Sheets: Provides a brief overview of each individual secondary school b. School Course Offerings Charts: Provides information regarding school courses. These charts indicate by grade, subject area, and course code the courses the school plans to offer to its school community in the upcoming school year.
Program selection for September will be made in February. Option sheets are an important vehicle for the educational planning process and are required each year. It is the responsibility of all students and their parents/guardians to complete course selections by the prescribed date. Subsequent modifications to a students program will be made for sound educational reasons only. Please note that where enrolment is insufficient a course may be withdrawn or cancelled.

Graduation Requirements for Secondary School

The Ontario Ministry of Education has mandated that the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) be given to grade 10 students province-wide to determine if they can successfully demonstrate the reading and writing skills that apply to all subject areas in the provincial curriculum up to the end of grade 9. The OSSLT is administered annually in the spring and is 2.5 hours in length. The OSSLT is designed, and its implementation is supervised, by the Ontario Education and Accountability Office (EQAO). Receiving an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) depends on passing the OSSLT. Students who are not successful on the test are able to attempt it again, in a future administration, or enrol in the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OSSLC).* Students with special needs may be permitted accommodations provided they have an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Students enrolled in ESL/ELD programs may be permitted special provisions or they may be deferred so that they write the OSSLT once they have a reasonable chance of success. Policies and guidelines regarding accommodations, deferrals, and exemptions are established and provided by EQAO. *Note: Enrolment in the OSSLC is limited to students who have written and have been unsuccessful on the OSSLT at least once.

Understanding Courses and Codes

Courses
Courses are available in many subject areas in secondary school. Within a subject area, students can further specialize their course studies depending on their interests.
Open Courses
Courses with an O in the fifth position have one set of expectations for the subject, appropriate for all students in a given grade. These courses are designed to provide students with a broad educational base that will prepare them for their studies in grades 11 and 12 and for productive participation in society.
Credits
A credit is granted when a course that has been scheduled for a minimum of 110 hours is successfully completed. Scheduled time is defined as the time during which students participate in planned learning activities designed to lead to the achievement of the curriculum expectations of the course. Planned learning activities include interaction between the teacher and student as well as assigned individual and/or group work, excluding homework. Half or partial credits may be offered for some courses and the amount of classroom instruction will relate accordingly (e.g., a half credit equals 55 hours).
Locally Developed Courses

Courses with a L in the fifth position have been developed to meet students educational needs not met by the existing provincial curriculum. Three courses are available in grade 9: one in English, one in Mathematics, and one in Science. Each of these may be counted as a compulsory credit in that discipline. Additional locally developed courses may be approved for OCDSB schools in the future.
Types of Courses Grades 11 and 12
Prerequisites
Prerequisite courses are courses that contain prior knowledge in a specific subject area which must be obtained before entering courses at a later grade level.
Grade 11 and 12 courses are organized into five types based on students future destinations. Students may choose from University Preparation, University/College Preparation, College Preparation, Workplace Preparation, or Open courses.
Types of Courses Grades 9 and 10
University Preparation Courses

Courses with a U in the fifth position provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to meet entrance requirements for university programs. Teaching and learning will emphasize theoretical aspects of the course content with supporting applications. The courses will focus on the development of both independent research skills and independent learning skills.
Grade 9 and 10 courses are organized into three types: Academic, Applied, and Open. All courses build on the grade 8 curriculum and have rigorous standards. All courses prepare students for study in the senior grades. Academic and Applied courses differ in the balance between essential concepts and additional requirements and in the balance between theory and application. They differ primarily, not in the level of skill required, but in the kinds of problems presented and the application of the content and concepts.
University/College Preparation Courses

Courses with a M in the fifth position include content that is relevant for both university and college. They provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to meet the entrance requirements for specific university and college programs. The range of courses offered and their content will allow students to prepare for college and university programs and related careers. Teaching and learning will emphasize both theoretical aspects and related concrete applications of the course content.
Academic Courses
Courses with a D in the fifth position focus on the essential concepts of the discipline and also explore related concepts. Course work develops students knowledge and skills by emphasizing theoretical and abstract applications of the essential concepts and incorporating practical applications as appropriate. The emphasis is on theory and abstract thinking as a basis for further learning and problem solving.
College Preparation Courses

Courses with a C in the fifth position provide students with the knowledge and skills to meet entrance requirements for most college programs and related careers. Teaching and learning will emphasize concrete applications of the theoretical material covered in the course and the development of critical thinking and problemsolving skills. Courses will focus on the development of independent research and learning skills.
OTTAWA-CARLETONDISTRICTSCHOOLBOARD8
Applied Courses
Courses with a P in the fifth position focus on the essential concepts of the discipline. Course work develops students knowledge and skills by emphasizing practical, concrete application of these concepts and incorporating theoretical applications as appropriate. Course work relates to familiar real-life situations and provides students with the opportunity for extensive hands-on applications of the concepts they study.

General Information
Workplace Preparation Courses
Courses with an E in the fifth position prepare students to move directly into the workplace or to apprenticeship programs and other training programs in the community. These courses emphasize practical workplace skills. withdrawal is not recorded on the OST. Courses are entered on the transcript using common course code designations issued by the Ministry of Education. Students and parents may access the OST by contacting the school principal or Guidance Department.
Open Courses
Courses with an O in the fifth position allow students to broaden their knowledge and skills in a particular subject that may or may not be directly related to their post secondary goals but that reflects their interests. These courses are appropriate for all students regardless of post secondary destination.
Semestered/Non-semestered
In semestered schools the school year is divided into two semesters and four terms. Students study up to four courses in the first half of the school year (Semester 1, Terms 1 and 2 September to January) and a different four courses in the second half (Semester 2, Terms 3 and 4 February to June). Reporting occurs two times per semester with a midterm report card and a final report card at the end of the semester. In non-semestered schools the school year is continuous from September to June and is divided into three terms. Students study up to eight courses from the beginning of the school year to the end. Reporting occurs three times per school year at the end of each term (in November, April, and June).
Focus Courses
Within the curriculum there are many opportunities to meet program expectations through a variety of secondary school courses. This is particularly true in the Arts, Health and Physical Education, International Languages, and Technological Education. For example, in Dramatic Arts students can select a course with a single focus, such as: ADD Dramatic Arts Production ADC Drama in the Community ADV Dramatic Arts Film/Video Focus courses are school specific. For descriptions of the focus courses offered at your school, contact the schools Student Services or Guidance Department.
Course Cancellation and Closure

Courses may be cancelled because of insufficient enrolment and staffing considerations or closed due to class size. Should a cancellation occur, students will be notified and asked to select an alternate course or an alternate course selected on the option sheet will be substituted.
Procedures for Students Who Wish to Change Course Types (Crossover Materials)
When a student plans to switch from one course type in grade 9 to the other in grade 10 in the same subject, the student will be strongly encouraged to successfully complete additional course work of up to 30 hours as defined by the Ministry in order to demonstrate achievement of the learning expectations that are included in the one grade 9 course but not the other. Crossover course material is available from your school or on the website http://www.ilc.org/ school/courses/course_info_crossover.php, or search for crossover materials.
Course Changes
Requests to change a program during the academic year will be considered only for a valid reason. The school may consider a timetable change request for reasons involving: a change in level of difficulty a timetable error summer school or night school results a change in career plans post secondary education admission requirements medical matters
General Information for All Students
Should a request be deemed valid the timetable will be adjusted, if possible, taking into account the master timetable and class sizes.
Ontario Student Transcript (OST) The Ontario Student Transcript (OST) will include: for grade 9 and 10 courses, the students achievement with percentage grades for successfully completed courses only for grade 11 and 12 courses, all courses taken or attempted, percentage grades earned, and credits gained. If a student withdraws from a grade 11 or 12 course within five instructional days following the issue of the first provincial report card in a semestered or non-semestered school, the
Assessment and Evaluation of Students

The primary purpose of assessment and evaluation is to improve student learning. All curriculum expectations are accounted for in instruction and assessment but evaluation focuses on student achievement of the overall expectations. In determining levels of student achievement, marks will be based on the four achievement categories and the levels of achievement described in the Ministry curriculum documents. In determining

General Information
a term grade, professional judgment will be used based on the students most consistent level of achievement with special consideration to more recent evidence of overall expectations. There will be no exemptions from the final evaluation. The procedures for evaluating student achievement vary from course to course to meet the requirements of different subjects, different levels of difficulty, and different learning environments. Teachers provide students with specific, written evaluation procedures at the beginning of each course. Mature students may: undergo individual assessment for the purpose of obtaining grade 9 and 10 credits present education and training credentials and/or other appropriate documentation for assessment through the equivalency process for the purpose of obtaining grade 11 and 12 credits challenge for credit for grade 11 and 12 courses Policy and Procedure for PLAR are available on the OCDSB website, www.ocdsb.ca under Publications, Policy P.112.CUR, Procedure PR.631.CUR.
Examinations
Examinations will be scheduled to minimize the number of students who are asked to write two exams in one day. No student will be asked to write more than two exams in one day.
EQAO Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics

The EQAO Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics is conducted each year. All students enrolled in grade 9 Mathematics, Applied or Academic, write the assessment in January for semestered schools and in June for semestered and non-semestered schools. The purpose is to identify strengths and areas for improvement in student learning. This assessment is not a diploma requirement. The EQAO has established policies and guidelines for providing special provisions for students enrolled in ESL/ELD programs and accommodations for students with special needs for whom there is an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Students with special needs and ESL/ELD students may be exempt from participating in the assessment where it is determined that accommodations or special provisions still would not enable the students to provide evidence of learning.
District-wide Examinations
District-wide examinations are administered in the following subjects at the grade levels indicated below:
Mathematics
Grade 10 Academic Grade 10 Applied
English Grade 12 University Grade 12 College
Each District-wide examination is marked according to a uniform set of criteria which is applied in all schools. Use of the set of criteria forms an essential part of the course for all students.
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition Process (PLAR)

The PLAR process is the formal evaluation and credit-granting process whereby students may obtain credits for prior learning. Prior learning includes the knowledge and skills that students have acquired, in both formal and informal ways, outside secondary school. Students may have their knowledge and skills evaluated against the expectations outlined in provincial curriculum policy documents in order to earn credits towards the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Challenge for credit for courses based on provincial curriculum policy documents will be available to students only in courses actually taught in schools operated by the District. All credits granted through the PLAR process must represent the same standards of achievement as credits granted to students who have taken the course. Please check with your Student Services or Guidance Department for further information on PLARs. Note: Mature students (at least 18 years of age and who have not attended day school for a period of at least one year) should contact Adult High School at 613-239-2707 or Continuing Education at 613-239-2620 for information regarding the PLAR process.
Code of Student Behaviour and Safe Schools Policy

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board believes that school is a place that promotes responsibility, respect, civility, and academic excellence in a safe learning and teaching environment. Codes of conduct of individual schools are based on the Code of Conduct for Ontario Schools published by the Ministry of Education. To view this document or any other publication for the Ministry of Education, visit the Ministry website at www.edu.gov.on.ca. To access the OCDSB Safe Schools Policy, visit the District website at www.ocdsb.ca.
A Community of Character
The fundamental building blocks to a safe and caring school community are the relationships and partnerships between educators, staff, parents, students, and the community. It is through these relationships and partnerships that all individuals in the school community have the opportunity to practise and model to one another the character attributes that are at the foundation of our board operations. The attributes in our Community of Character provide a standard of behaviour against which all individuals in our District hold themselves accountable. These attributes are what will bind us together and permeate all that we do. We believe they are the foundation for excellence and equity in education and are the cornerstone of our vision for our school communities.

General Information
Expectations of Students and Student Attendance
Regular attendance is essential to the learning process. When student learning is disrupted by irregular attendance, both the student and the class lose experiences that cannot be entirely replaced. Moreover, if the student habitually misses classes, he or she suffers in the evaluation process because student achievement cannot be evaluated. Attendance is, therefore, an essential component of every course. use programs such as Co-op and the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) to further their first-hand knowledge of the world of work assist in locating part/full-time or summer work additional learning opportunities after high school
Personal Counselling
We support students in the following areas: discuss the student and their relationships to others deal with any personal concerns and explore alternatives and/or solutions offer community resources where needed coordinate referrals to OCDSB Support Personnel (i.e., school social worker)
Designated Schools, Student Transfers, and Transportation of Students

Information regarding designated schools and student transfer policy is available on the District website at www.ocdsb.ca or by contacting your school. Parents and students must be aware of the importance of providing complete and accurate information through the registration process. Should a student be discovered to be attending a school other than the designated school by virtue of false information having been provided to the OCDSB on the students behalf, the student shall be required to move to the designated school at the earliest possible time that will not unduly jeopardize the completion of courses already begun. Transfers may affect a students eligibility to participate in a specific sport. Consult with the schools athletic director for information about the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) eligibility policy for sports when you are planning to change schools.
Library Services
In our secondary schools the library facility and teacher-librarian provide many resources and educational services for both students and staff. There are two key objectives of the library program: to teach students to become enthusiastic, skillful, and independent learners to work closely with teachers to plan teaching strategies that meet the curriculum expectations for research skills and information literacy outlined in Ministry documents. Some of the teaching strategies include lessons on the research process, evaluating and using electronic resources, and documenting sources to encourage literacy and love of reading While each of our secondary school libraries is unique, they have in common the following resources: Alexandria, an online library catalogue of the schools resources Collections of fiction designed for novel study, leisure reading, and second language students Computer workstations with Internet access Access to online databases Collections of non-fiction and reference materials designed to support the curriculum and research needs of both students and staff Magazines and newspapers Access to printers and photocopiers All our secondary school libraries provide welcoming and inviting environments in which students can read, work, research, and study.

Pathways to Success
The OCDSB continues to develop new and innovative programming aimed at providing secondary school students with learning opportunities that meet the needs of all students to support their Pathways to Success. The Pathways to Success initiatives focus on helping students to make successful transitions in high school. The following are specific programs that support successful student transitioning: LINK Crew is a high school transition program that welcomes and supports grade 9 students throughout the first year of their highschool experience. Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, LINK Crew coordinators (teachers) train selected grade 11 and 12 students to be LINK Leaders. As positive role models, LINK Leaders are motivators , mentors and facilitators who guide the incoming grade 9 students to discover what it takes to be successful during their transition into high school. LINK Crew begins with an Orientation Day and the grade 9 transition program continues, providing a variety of both academic and social follow-up activities throughout the year, all of which are presented by trained LINK Leaders during visits to grade 9 classes. The Student Success Program focuses on students who, during their high school years, need additional help to be successful in their courses and in their credit accumulation. Students in this program are supported by a Student Success teacher found in every high school. Support is offered to students through Credit Rescue and Credit Recovery classes as well as Learning Strategies courses, and/ or Guidance and Career Education (Discovering the Workplace at grade 10 and Navigating the Work- place at grade 12) courses. Program Pathways consists of the combination of courses that make up a students educational program and the supports provided by the program. A properly planned Program Pathway not only motivates students to complete their goals, it ensures they have the right combination of courses and supports required to get them there. A Program Pathway will help students be successful in their transition from high school to the workplace, apprenticeship, college, or university. (Refer to page 6 - Education Planner; page 8 & 9 Understanding Courses and Codes) Experiential Learning When planning their Program Pathway, students might consider exploring the following Experiential Learning opportunities (eg. courses or skill development) to support their pathway goal: Cooperative Education (refer to page 184 - 185) Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) (refer to page 185) www.oyap.com/ Guidance and Career Education (GLD2O Discovering the Workplace and GLN4O Navigating the Workplace) (refer to page 194) Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) (refer to pages 20 - 25) Focus Programs (refer to pages 20 - 25) Ontario Skills Passport http://skills.edu.gov.on.ca/OSPWeb/ jsp/en/login.jsp Dual Credits Program with Algonquin College earn a high school credit and college credit concurrently www.passpathways.on.ca Dual Credits The Dual Credit Programs with Algonquin College are intended to assist secondary students in the completion of their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and successful transition to college and apprenticeship programs.

The application process begins with an entrance interview. Upon acceptance into the program the student is usually enrolled in a Lifeskills credit course. Once this course is completed the student has the option of attending either the Academic Program or the Cooperative Education Program. Students may work on both applied and academic credits. At the senior level a range of courses is provided at the open and college levels ensuring that graduates of the program can access college programs. Grade 12 university preparation courses are offered only in special circumstances. The alternate sites may offer some spaces for students who are under 16 years of age on an individual basis. Students in the Alternate Education Program experience outstanding success.

Some Online Courses FAQs

Q: How many online courses can a student take? A: Online courses are part of the day school program. A student may not take more than a full course load which is no more than four courses per semester (combined total of in-school and online day school courses). Q: Are online courses easier than face-to-face courses? A: No. In fact, some students find online courses very challenging. To be successful in an online course you need: daily, reliable internet access; enough time set aside to work through your online course and complete the assignments; the ability to follow written instructions and to keep yourself on task. Q: At what time of the day will the course be running? A: Students are expected to log in every school day, however, they may choose the best time of day for them to learn students and their teacher do not need to be logged on at the same time. It should be noted that there will be timelines for completing assignments and tasks associated with the course. Q: When does the course start and end? A: The semester start and end dates correspond to those for the OCDSB calendar. Each course is moderated by a teacher and students progress through a course together with their class much like they would in a face-to-face semestered class.

Course Descriptions and Prerequisite Charts Grade 9, 10, 11, 12

The following descriptions apply to grade 9, 10, 11, and 12 courses approved by the Ontario Ministry of Education and offered in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. The course descriptions are listed according to the title of the curriculum policy document in which they are found. Ontario Curriculum policy documents for each discipline can be found online at www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/secondary. Since it is not possible for all schools to offer all courses, the school administration decides which courses will be offered in each secondary school; these decisions are based on the needs and interests of the students in each community. If there is insufficient demand for a course in a particular year, it may not be possible to offer the course that year. In that case the students affected will be notified and asked to amend their program choices accordingly.

The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP)/Co-Op

OYAP enables students to meet diploma requirements in an outof-school setting where a certified journey person supervises their on-the-job training according to the regulations of a skilled trade. Funding for this program is provided by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU). There were more than 1,000 Ottawa-Carleton District School Board students enrolled in OYAP in 20092010. An increased enrolment is expected for 20102011.
Jump Start a Career through OYAP

An OYAP student is a student who is earning Cooperative Education credits for work experience in a skilled-trade area. A skilled trade is any occupation that requires apprenticeship training and certification. Apprentices are normally paid although employers are not required by law to pay OYAP students.
Get Hands-on Work Experience

While students who are younger than 16 years of age and have fewer than 16 credits can participate in Co-op, students are only deemed OYAP students when they are at least 16 years old and have completed 16 credits. All OYAP students must be enrolled full time and must complete all compulsory credits required for the OSSD. The approved apprenticeship training standards of MTCU serve as a basis for a students personalized placement learning plan. There are three different tiers of OYAP participation depending on student interest in and commitment to trades education. Tier 1: The student is interested in career exploration in a skilledtrades area and takes a half-day co-op placement for one semester. Tier 2: The student is willing to make a commitment to a skilledtrades career path and requests formal registration as an apprentice with MTCU. Usually this takes place in a students second half-day or full-day co-op placement in the same trade. Tier 3: The student wishes to take the First Level of apprenticeship training at the college or training centre concurrent with a co-op placement. This program is for students who have all their compulsory credits and are in their final school semester before graduation. Students are in their co-op placements full time, usually two or three days a week, and are enrolled in the Level 1 Course at Algonquin College the other days. The student is still on the roll at their high school although they only attend high school for co-op pre-placement and integration sessions. The Automotive Service Technician course has been a very popular Tier 3 training program. In addition to the Automotive Service Technician Level 1, we will also offer a Level 1 program in Auto Body and Hairstyling through Algonquin College.
English Language Learners and Experiential Learning

All students, including English language learners, can benefit from gaining a context for their learning by participating in experiential learning. By participating in all forms of experiential learning (e.g., job shadowing, work-site visits, work experience, Cooperative Education), students who are acquiring English language skills will: be exposed to a variety of social and culture experiences that will enhance their understanding of Canadian culture develop confidence in using English in a wide variety of contexts gain English communication skills required in the workplace gain a better understanding of the opportunities in the Canadian workplace gain work experience gain valuable knowledge about their own interests and strengths to make informed decisions about course options in secondary school and decisions about post secondary pathways (apprenticeship, college, workplace, and university) Those English language learners who have adequate skills in English and who have previously-earned concurrent Ontario high school credits that are related to their desired workplace have the opportunity to join a Cooperative Education class in high school.

MTCU and the MInistry of Education (ME) cover the costs of education for an OYAP student in the Level 1 program. Apprenticeship is a post secondary study option that can meet the personal learning needs of a wide variety of students. It is an excellent mode of skill development for students who like hands-on activities and learn best by doing. Post secondary apprenticeship training usually lasts from three to four years, depending on the trade. Approximately 90 per cent of apprenticeship training is on-the-job, while 10 per cent takes place in a community college classroom setting. Post secondary apprentices are paid while they learn and are eligible for employment insurance benefits while taking related community college course work (OYAP students excepted). Contact the school Guidance Department or the Cooperative Education teacher for more information. In addition, the OCDSBs OYAP/Pathways Instruction Coach may be reached at 613-596-8211, ext. 8697.
Sample Cooperative Education Timetables

All students are encouraged to pursue Cooperative Education to extend and refine the knowledge and skills developed in other courses. Accommodations can be provided. Students with IEPs are encouraged to contact their Guidance Counsellor to learn more about the Cooperative Education Program. Cooperative Education also prepares students for schoolwork transitions with work-based experiences that prepare students to meet the requirements of a specific occupation or apprenticeship. The sample four-year timetables show how Cooperative Education can fit into a four-year plan for students who would like to enhance their learning with experiential learning. The shaded areas are 15 of 18 compulsory credits required for an OSSD. (See page 2 for an explanation of OSSD requirements). Subjects listed from one through eight are not in any order of priority and may be taken in a semestered school over two semesters or in a non-semestered school for a full academic year. All schools do not offer the same courses. Students should check the course offerings in their school and the prerequisites for each course before selecting their courses. As well, students should be aware of the prerequisite courses required for their post secondary destination. All students and parents should contact the Guidance Office for further information and to plan a timetable that includes Cooperative Education.
