psychological, intellectual, social, spiritual and physical dimensions of health, and the dynamic interplay of these factors, in managing personal well-being.

Resource Choices—Students make responsible decisions in the use of finances and other resources that reflect personal values and goals and demonstrate commitment to self and others.

Career and Life Choices—Students develop and apply processes for managing personal, lifelong career development.

The three general outcomes serve as the foundation of the 3 credit Career and Life Management course. Every student at Bishop Carroll is expected to complete CALM by the end of Grade 11.

myPass Every high school student in the province should create an account on myPass, the Alberta Education website for maintaining student records. These accounts can be created at https://www.alberta.ca/student-information-high-school-transcripts.aspx. Students must first create an account, then parents will be able to create a linked account to access student information.

Students will use myPass to access their Diploma Exam results, register for Diploma Exam Rewrites, view their progress towards their High School Diplomas, and order official transcripts for post-secondary and job applications.

It is important that students do not use their @learn.cssd.ab.ca email addresses to create their myPass accounts, as those email addresses will not be available to students after graduation.

The “-1” Course Sequence is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills required for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of calculus. Topics include algebra and number; measurement; relations and functions; trigonometry; and permutations, combinations and binomial theorem.

The “-2” Course Sequence is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of calculus. Topics include geometry, measurement, number and logic, logical reasoning, relations and functions, statistics and probability.

Math 31 is designed to bridge the gap between the Mathematics 10-20-30 course sequence and the calculus courses offered by post-secondary institutions. Mathematics 31 emphasizes the theoretical and practical development of topics in the algebra of functions, trigonometry, differential calculus and integral calculus up to an acceptable standard for entry into all first-year programs in mathematics, science, engineering and business.

Mathematics

AP (Advanced Placement) Math and Honours Math are available for study. The AP program culminates with the Math 31 AP exam in May of the students Grade 12 year. This exam gives students an opportunity to earn university credits in high school.

Math 10C is the foundation for the –1 and –2 course sequences. The program is designed to encourage students to become creative problem solvers, develop special sense and proportional reasoning, develop algebraic reasoning and number sense, gain confidence in mathematical skills and make connections between mathematical concepts and life. Math 15 is a course designed for students who have passed Grade 9 math but would need a review of Grade 9 concepts to be successful and confident in Math 10C. Math 15 is a year-long structured seminar series offered 4 days a week and is combined with Math 10C. Students participating in this course will earn 5 credits for Math 15, and 5 credits for Math 10C.

Religious Education (Roman Catholic) 15—Christ and Culture: The principal aim of Christ and Culture is to assist students, with the help of the Gospel, to participate as Christians in the shaping of our culture. The program explores major cultural issues from a Christological perspective. Beginning with their own life experiences, students acquire a deeper and more systematic knowledge of themselves, Christ’s message, and the Church. Connections between the Church and contemporary culture are explored in terms of what it means to be a responsible adolescent developing as a member of a Catholic, Christian community while living within the context of a broader culture.

Bishop Carroll offers a differentiated approach to completing the program by offering field trips, alternative seminars, and cross-curricular demonstrations of learning!



Religious Education (Roman Catholic) 25—Jesus Christ: God’s Gift of Salvation invites students to deepen their relationship with Jesus through a prayerful study of Scripture. Students will explore the Jewish historical, religious, and cultural world into which the Messiah was born and the Old Testament covenant fulfilled. Using the Gospels as primary sources, the course explores Jesus’ birth, early life, and ministry; his preaching of the Kingdom of God; his special teachings, particularly the parables; and his miracles. It then focuses on the scriptural accounts of his death and Resurrection, and the Ascension, and their central significance for the church’s understanding of Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God.

Religions Of the World 35


Religions of the World 35 is intended to help young people better understand and deepen their faith, and to appreciate how important faith in God is in becoming fully human. Students will acquire an understanding of and appreciation for other faith traditions.

OR


3 or 5 credits (No pre-requisite required)

Religious Education (Roman Catholic) 35—In Search of the Good challenges students to understand themselves as moral persons called to discipleship by living the way of Christ. Through an examination of ethical theories, the revelation of Sacred Scripture, and the lived experience and teaching of the Catholic Church, the course invites students to mature as active participants in their faith. At the heart of catechesis is the human search for happiness as the completion of the superabundant love of God. The same tension which exists between the revelation of God’s love and the explorations of human reason are worked out in the areas of freedom, justice, human relations, ecology, reconciliation, life in the community and political life.

Academic Resource Center (ARC)

The Academic Resource Centre (ARC) is a welcoming and supportive environment where students can receive additional help with their learning needs. We welcome students to work in the two resource centres.

The ARC team consists of diverse learning teachers (DLCT/DLT’s) as well as education assistants (learning coaches) who are available throughout the day to assist students in their self-directed learning.

The ARC team works in collaboration with the teacher advisors (TA’s), subject area teachers, student services, as well as administration to support students. Unique to ARC is an assessment area where students’ accommodations are supported.

Diverse Learners

Students who have received an AB Ed code and have a Learning Support Plan (LSP) may be supported with guidance from the ARC team

Teacher advisors (TA’s) in collaboration with the DLT’s will support with planning for the students learning needs

Learning strategies courses are available to support ongoing skill development

English Language Learners (ELL) The self-directed learning model works well for ELL students who are developing reading and writing skills

Not being semestered allows for growth over extended time

Bridging language development is extended in this self-directed model

Supporting Students The teacher advisor (TA) is the primary support guiding students as they transition to the self-directed

model of learning

Through TA appointments students are guided in discovering the skills and supports they need to be successful

Students who need extra support will work in collaboration with their TA and the ARC team

Building capacity in students through self-advocacy is a primary goal of the ARC team

Assessment Accommodations Assessment accommodations such as extra time, speech to text, text to speech, google read/write,

ambient noise, frequent breaks and assessment in a small environment will be provided in ARC based on the individual learning needs of the student.

In preparation for accommodations on diploma exams students are guided in tracking their needs

An annual “Gates” assessment is required per year to guide learning

Students must ensure their LSP’s are updated and signed

Advanced Placement (AP)

Bishop Carroll is proud to be one of the only self-directed Advanced Placement Schools in Canada. Over 22,000 secondary schools world-wide offer AP courses making it the world’s most widely used academic program.

What is AP?

A prestigious, internationally recognized honors program for high school students that allows high school students to do university level work while still in high school. An AP course is considered the equivalent of a first year university level course.

Universities all over the world recognize the rigor involved in taking AP courses.

How does AP work? Students can choose which AP courses they want to take. Students complete AP enrichment courses of the grade 10, 11, and 12 level in their chosen subject area(s). Upon completion of these enrichment courses, the student writes an AP exam, which is held each May. The score

on this exam could get the student university credit. In Alberta, we have to teach the provincial curriculum, so AP enrichment courses consist of the Alberta courses and

supplemental topics.

How is AP different at Bishop Carroll? Our flexible program allows students to move intermittently and seamlessly between our AP stream and our regular

stream at any time. (Even halfway through the course!) This can accommodate a student’s changing interests over time.

Why should you consider doing AP? The challenge—AP is a rigorous program! University preparation—How better to prepare for university than by doing university level work? University credit can be obtained by writing AP exams. This depends on which university you plan on attending. Some university scholarships are only open to AP or IB students.

Bishop Carroll is pleased to offer AP courses in the following subjects: Biology Chemistry Comparative Government and Politics (Social Studies) English Literature and Composition French Language and Culture Math (Calculus) Physics Psychology (Social Studies) Spanish Language and Culture Studio Art

Off-Campus Opportunities Work Experience Work experience is an opportunity for students to develop employability skills while earning valuable high school credits. Students can work part time or over the summer exploring a career. This program is open to all high school students. A minimum of 75 hours of career-related experience at a work site is required. Student progress is monitored on a regular basis. These positions must comply with the district guidelines and are approved on an individual basis. Work experience is a year-round program.

Dual Credit The purpose of dual-credit is to provide opportunities for students to personalize their high school experience by exploring and building on their career interests. The Calgary Catholic School District provides the opportunity for Grade 11 and 12 students to earn high school credits in conjunction with either post-secondary or workplace certification. The following programs are currently taught in partnership with local post-secondary institutions.

Engineering related programs Nutrition for Healthy Living Carpentry Pharmacy Assistant Veterinary Technical Assistant Hospitality and tourism Software development Pre-employment programs in Carpentry, Electrician, Pipe Trades and Welding (See RAP program).

Interested Grade 10 students should attend the information evening with their parents. These are generally held after Christmas of their Grade 10 year. The tuition for the successful applicants is paid by the district.

Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) The Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) is an opportunity for high school students to earn credits towards their high school diploma, while also counting hours towards their first year apprenticeship in one of Alberta’s more than 50 trades. This program allows students to begin training in any one of the apprenticeship trades while still in high school. The program is for students who have made career choices in specific trades. Students spend part of the year in school completing graduation requirements and part in a work environment as a registered apprentice.

Career Discovery Program In the Career Discovery Program, students will have the chance to explore potential careers in their area of interest and gain real life experience. Through job-shadowing opportunities, students will receive exposure to areas such as law, engineering, architecture, veterinary medicine, oil and gas, or information technology (IT). This summer program is open to Grade 10 and 11 students.

Green Certificate Program This program allows the trainees opportunities to enter a variety of Agriculture related pathways (equine studies, field crop, cow/calf production). Go to www.agriculture.alberta/greencertificate for more information.

Exploratory Programs Exploratory Programs allow students enrolled in high school the opportunity to explore career options that could help them decide, at an early age, whether a career opportunity in the skilled trades is for them. These programs are particularly relevant as there is an identified and urgent need for skilled trades’ professionals in Alberta. Students who are accepted into the program work with a skilled journeyman in a state of the art traning facility and are supervised by an off-campus education teacher. Exploratory programs allow students the opportunity to earn work experience credits and workplace certifications that will help them prepare to apply for a career as soon as they graduate high school. The programs typically take place during the school year while the student attends high school. This opportunity provides the student with a unique and personalized high school experience. In conjunction with industry partners, the Calgary Catholic School District offers exploratory programs in the following areas: Wood Trades, Ironworker Trade, Pipe Trade, Carpentry and Metal Trades.
