Students+Not+Meeting+Learning+Outcomes

From Carl:


 * Please keep in mind the language from the School Act regarding the Incomplete or In Progress Reports for students //(2) Where an "I" (In Progress or Incomplete) is assigned, the student and the parent of the student must be informed and have an opportunity to consult with the teacher on the plan of action specified in subsection (3). (3) Where an "I" (In Progress or Incomplete) is assigned, teachers must be prepared to identify what the problem is and specify a plan of action that is intended to help students achieve the learning outcomes.// Also note that the “I” can be given at any time and must be reported to parents directly (in-person, email, phone, mailed letter) not sent via the student. As a general practice, the counsellors and PVP do not remove students from classes based on a failing grade in the first term. It is incumbent on us as educators to provide the learning opportunity for students for all the learning outcomes taught in a subject area. If a student does not minimally meet the learning outcomes in Term 1, it should not prohibit them from being provided the opportunity to complete the term 2 learning outcomes. We have a //course completion program// for some courses and a //reduced credit system// for others that allows students to complete learning outcomes or gain credit for the learning outcomes they have met.**
