SPECIALIST HIGH SKILLS MAJORA Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) is a ministry-approved specialized program that allows students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector while meeting the requirements to graduate from secondary school. It also assists in their transition after graduation to apprenticeship training, college, university or the workplace.

Pursuing an SHSM enables students to:

• Customize their secondary school education to suit their interests and talents

• Develop specialized knowledge and skills

• Earn credits that post-secondary educational institutions and the sector recognize

• Gain sector-recognized certification and career-relevant training

• Develop essential skills and work habits

• Identify, explore and refine career goals and make informed decisions about their future

• Remain flexible, with the option to shift between pathways, should their goals and plans change

• Students who successfully complete an SHSM receive:

~ an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with an embossed red seal ~ an SHSM Record documenting his/her achievement

Program Components:Completion of certain 11 and 12 credits (depending on which stream of High Skills Major)

1. Completion of certain 11 and 12 credits (depending on which stream of High Skills Major)

2. Six sector-recognized certifications/training opportunities, including: CPR, First Aid, WHMIS, Service Excellence, and more

3. Experiential learning and career exploration activities within the sector

4. “Reach Ahead” experiences connected with the student’s post-secondary pathway

5. Development of Essential Skills and work habits required in the sector. The SHSM programs are an excellent opportunity for students in all pathways.

LEARNING TO 18Students are required to continue to attend school until age 18 or graduation.

CREDIT RECOVERYCredit-recovery programs help students earn the credits they have previously failed to achieve, as they develop the learning skills needed for academic success. These programs:

• Focus on improving learning skills

• May target particular curriculum expectations that students have failed to achieve

• May include behavioural or other supports

• May involve the recovery of more than one credit

• Can involve both independent and group learning

DUAL CREDITDual credit programs are designed to assist students in the completion of their diploma requirements and support successful transition to either college or apprenticeship programs. Depending on the delivery model and course, student can earn OSS (maximum of four, non-compulsory), college credits and/or Level 1 apprenticeship certification while attending approved courses at either St. Lawrence College, Loyalist College or in their home secondary school. College campus programs involve a dual credit secondary school teacher who provides support and supervision as required while the students are on the college campus. Some secondary courses delivered at our secondary school have been developed to provide students – with the opportunity to earn college credit upon successful completion of the regular secondary school course.

It is important to note that college assessment and evaluation policies are used when determining success in a dual credit course.

Students will be informed of what grade is required in order to earn credit for the course (i.e. 50%, 60%, 70%).

Dual credit courses and delivery models are approved and funded annually by the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and administered through School/College/Work Initiatives and the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. Seats in dual credit courses are limited so admission to courses/programs will involve an application process.

ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF EARNING CREDITSWhile the majority of students will earn credits in the school, some may consider alternative ways to earn credits towards the OSSD. These include correspondence through the Independent Learning Centre, independent study, private study, continuing education, summer school, etc. See a counsellor or administrator to find out about the availability and accessibility of courses.

SECONDARY SCHOOL E-LEARNINGOnline learning, commonly known as e-Learning, is becoming part of education in all course types, including college, university and the workplace. E-Learning courses can allow for more flexibility in a student’s timetable. They can also provide access to programming that may not be available at the school.

E-Learning requires the same time commitment as a normal face-to-face class. Courses follow the same semester start and end dates as a normal face-to-face class. Clear time-lines for completing tasks, assignments and other assessments are provided. The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) currently offers a variety of online courses taught by qualified teachers. The e-Learning experience can be innovative, relevant and engaging for students who enjoy this learning environment. E-Learning courses use the same curriculum requirements of face-to-face classes, as set out by the Ontario Ministry of Education.

In addition, the HPEDSB is a member of the Ontario eLearning Consortium (OeLC). This organization is made up of several Ontario school boards which have agreed to open their e-Learning courses to students from all member school boards. This approach provides students with access to courses that meet their needs and interests. For more information about e-Learning opportunities, students should contact their school’s guidance counsellor. Visit our website to find out more about e-Learning at Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board http://www.hpedsb.on.ca/ec/elearning/

ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION POLICYAssessment and evaluation are ongoing aspects of the teaching and learning process. Evaluation is designed to be equitable and allow for alternate methods for identified students. At the beginning of each course the teacher will provide for the students a clear statement of the course content and course requirements, an explanation of evaluation methods and a marks breakdown, along with a description of the policy for tests and assignments.

Students are expected to be active participants in their own learning by assuming responsibility for keeping work up to date and by regular communication with teachers and parents. The final examination or the culminating activity is an important part of every course. A student must provide a medical certificate for an absence from the final evaluation unless prior arrangements have been made and approved by the school administration.

EVALUATION & EXAMINATION POLICYAt the beginning of each semester students are given a course outline which includes specific information on the evaluation guidelines for each course. Evaluation is based on a term mark and an examination mark. Performance is measured throughout the semester on a number of criteria depending on the nature of the course. Reports are issued to all students three times in each semester.

Semester 1Early Progress Report – mid OctoberMid-term Report – mid NovemberFinal Report mid February

Semester 2 Early Progress Report mid MarchMid-term Report mid AprilFinal Report end of June

Credit Alert reports are issued to those students who may be in danger of failing a course. These reports are mailed one month before the end of the semester. We encourage parents to contact teachers at any time for up-to-date information.

All subjects will have a final examination. If a student is absent from a final examination, a medical certificate must be presented to the Principal within two weeks after each exam.

Students who miss an exam for any other reason must make arrangements with the Principal.

COURSE SELECTION & CHANGES

It is the responsibility of all students to make certain they earn credits in courses which will enable them to meet their long-term goals.

Students are urged to consult with teachers, counsellors and parents to determine the proper course destination for their success. All students are expected to register for a FULL timetable.

Courses are offered when selected by a reasonable number of students and at the discretion of the Principal.

Some courses, therefore may not be offered even though they appear in the calendar’s description. A list of cancelled courses will be available as early as possible. Students originally selecting – these courses will be asked to make new selections.

Full Disclosure – The Ministry of Education and Training has stated that full disclosure of all results must be included on the student’s official transcript of marks. This ruling represents a change from the past when only marks over 50% were reported on the official record of student achievement.

Please note: Students must have 24 credits before taking a study period. Grade 12 students who drop a course after the official drop date (five days after mid term reports) will find that course recorded on their transcripts as a withdrawal. Students wishing to discuss course changes must see a guidance teacher.

STUDENT SERVICES & CAREER EDUCATION

Guidance and Career Education is a vital and integral part of the secondary program. Through this program, students are given opportunities to develop the knowledge and skills that they need in order to learn effectively, to live and to work cooperatively and productively, to set goals and monitor progress and to carry out their social responsibilities.

The primary goal of the Student Services department at Centennial is to encourage students to reach their full potential academically, personally and socially. The Guidance program focuses on educational and career/life planning.

The Guidance curriculum is delivered largely through classroom instruction, but individual sessions may be arranged at the request of a student or parent.

The program is delivered through different means, including classroom instruction, through orientation and exit programs, annual education planning, career exploration activities, and individual and short-term counselling.

The policy’s goals are to:

ensure that students develop the knowledge and skills they need to make informed education and career/life choices through effective application of a four-step inquiry process;

provide opportunities for this lerning both in and outside the classroom; and engage parents and the broader community in the development, implementation and evaluation of the program, to support students in their learning.

CAREER PLANNINGStudents are encouraged to:

• Explore dynamic optional courses of study to expand their creative abilities and critical thinking skills

• Participate in workplace opportunities to investigate career options and enhance their employability skills

• Balance their rigorous academic timetable to prepare academically, socially and financially for post secondary education

• Enrich their high school experience by participating in school clubs, sports and activities

Employers and post secondary institutions encourage students to maintain breadth in their secondary school courses in order to prepare appropriately for the challenges of the chosen post secondary destination.

STUDENT SERVICES


RESOURCE ROOM PROGRAM

The Resource Room program at Centennial is designed to provide assistance on both a short and long term basis to students who have special needs as well as students who may be struggling in their academic program. This support comes in many forms: as a quiet, distraction free setting to work, test and exam support, occasional classroom support, or daily program support. The resource room is staffed by a highly qualified educational assistant who works jointly with the Interdepartmental Special Education Head.

GENERAL LEARNING STRATEGIES

The General Learning Strategies Program for the grade nine year at Centennial has many purposes. It is designed to teach students valuable learning skills such as time management, organization, priority setting, reading comprehension strategies, and study and test taking skills. As well, students taking this class will be provided with academic support for the rest of the classes on their timetable. Students are referred to this program through the grade eight to grade nine IPRC process.

PRACTICAL LEARNING PROGRAM / LIFE SKILLS PROGRAM

The Practical Learning Program (PLP) is a life and pre-work skills program for students whose placement is confirmed through the Identification, Placement and Review Committee (IRPC) process. Students will have opportunities to participate in the secondary school culture and activities.

Students in the PLP develop the skills they will need for their eventual transition to community life after high school.

– Functional literacy – Work skills

– Functional numeracy – Basic personal life skills

– Social skills

The Program’s Design:First two years – focus is in the classroom with a half to whole day per week working in an in-school work placement. Third, fourth and fifth years – focus shifts to off site work placements.

Final two years – focus is out of class to job sites and community living preparation if appropriate to their Transition Plan with a developing relationship with their local Community Agency.

Students move through PLP as their Individual Education Plan (IEP) outlines. In addition to the classroom and work placement portions of the program the PLP provides students with regular opportunities to access leisure and recreational options in the community such as skating, swimming, theatre, etc. This aspect of the program is meant to provide students with a means to develop and practice the social and self control skills that they will need to participate in community social events after graduation.

CSS offers two focus programs:

The CSS PLP is designed to help each student develop at their own speed with attention to specific needs. Each student receives personal literacy and numeracy exercises for classroom practice. Equipped with a full kitchen, students plan and prepare lunches and run a catering program for CSS staff. Students travel in the community to volunteer, attend work placements and on outings designed to enhance their school program. Social integration with all CSS students is encouraged and welcomed.

The CSS LSP is designed to prepare each student for living in a supervised type of setting and it revolves around meeting each student’s specific needs and abilities. Each student is given specific instruction in planning menus, cooking, doing chores, various hygiene issues, etc. and their learning skills are strengthened by hands on practice in an applied setting.

Students are responsible for completing 2 or more daily chores with as much instruction or assistance as needed as well as monthly responsibility for planning and preparing the class meals for a week with small group instruction and support. Students are also involved in running a catering program that produces baking orders, and through the year give our students new cooking experiences and practice with recipes. Community awareness and city transit instruction are keys as well as making connections to various agencies prior to graduation.
