Common Issues with Planning 10
- Some kids don’t want to be there - What is the value in the course?
- Taking away an elective
- Some teachers don’t want to teach it – filler course
- Teaching topics in Health curriculum organizers
- Most teachers don’t have training and resources to teach the course – no textbooks and lab time
- Many districts make this course available online through summer school – issues and concerns?
Let’s take a look at the resources in front of you!
1. Curriculum Fit - supports the philosophy, rationale and goals of the BC curriculum, and the Prescribed Learning Outcomes of the specific curriculum
2. Content - accuracy and relevancy, Canadian perspective, cognitive and linguistic appropriateness for the intended audience
3. Instructional Design - effectiveness of organization, teaching strategies, assessment and activities
4. Cost – cost compared with similar resources, making choices when there is a scarcity of instructional funds, teacher resources

For next class (Oct. 17):
• Take a look at IRPs for business computer classes (BCA 11, DM 12, BIM 12).
• We will look at how to teach these courses as well as consider possible resources.
• I also suggest that you show me at least ONE of your resources for the project due October 24 so I know you are on the right track.
