SUPPORT PROGRAMS

GENERAL STUDIES PROGRAM

The General Studies program is a high school graduation path that prepares students for some Community College or Vocational training courses. It is a program which offers the compulsory courses required for graduation at a minimum essentials level. Students may elect or be recommended for one or more of: Mathematics 11, Science for Citizens 11, English 11 11, Communications 12, Social Studies General 10 and First Nations Studies 12. In planning their path to graduation, students in the General Studies program are advised to select their electives with consideration for their future career plans.

This program adopts a practical approach to academic subjects and hands-on experiences are used whenever possible.

LEARNING ASSISTANCELA8 SEM LA10 LA8 (TERM) LA11 LA9

Learning Assistance is available for students who are in need of help to succeed in their core subjects. One-on-one instruction and small groups are used to ensure success. L.A. support can include any or all of the following: Assistance with test preparation, completing assignments, studying for exams, organization

and time management skills. Remedial assistance in the areas of reading, spelling, math, and study skills. Advocacy for students’ rights to school and community resources and programs including

exam adjudication when necessary.

Students may obtain this service through referral by a teacher or parent to the School Based Team. In some cases the L.A. program would be beneficial throughout a student’s path to graduation and typically students receiving L.A. have a regularly scheduled block of Learning Assistance in place of another subject.

AP- (Advanced Placement Courses)

AP can change your life. Through college-level AP courses, you enter a universe of knowledge that might otherwise remain unexplored in high school; through AP Exams, you have the opportunity to earn credit or advanced standing at most of the nation's colleges and universities.

Gain the Edge in College Preparation

Get a head start on college and university-level work.

Develop the study habits necessary for tackling rigorous course work.

Stand Out in the College Admissions Process

Show your willingness to take the most rigorous courses available to you.

Emphasize your commitment to academic excellence.

Broaden Your Intellectual Horizons

Explore the world from a variety of perspectives, most importantly your own.

Study subjects in greater depth and detail.

We intend to offer both AP Calculus and AP Literature if there is student demand. Students will be asked to select their preference and if there are sufficient requests we will offer one or more courses in the 2017-2018 school year. See the senior counselor for more details. More information is available on line at: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html


SUPPORT PROGRAMS

F.L.E.X. (Far-Reaching Life Experiences) The F.L.E.X. Program is based on the development of social and practical skills that enable the students to function in school and in their community. Our activities emphasize the development of social skills and enable students to practice these skills within the classroom as well as in the community. Students also develop practical skills such as money management, time management, listening skills, personal safety and motor skills. The students in this program function as members of a team; each member takes individual responsibility to become a positive participant. Entry to this program is by referral through the Shared Resource Room Committee.

Transitions Program The Transitions Program is focused on helping students develop their functional literacy and numeracy skills. This program is designed for students who are unable to be successful in the general studies program. The literacy component is based on developing useful reading, writing, speech and listening skills. The numeracy program is centered on developing practical math skills that can be applied to independent living.

The life skills component of our program consists of students developing social, domestic and vocational skills. Students develop skills and attitudes that will help them live independently. Students acquire skills that will help them find and keep a job.

Learning Center The purpose of the Learning Center is to: offer an alternative learning style to regular classroom instruction, to broaden the course offerings of the school, to solve time tabling conflicts for a small number of students and with the early morning class, allow students to complete an extra course. A variety of courses will be offered in a computer assisted learning situation with a teacher facilitator. Students in distributed learning will be most successful if they are able to comprehend and analyze written material with little assistance from a teacher. Students will be most successful if they are responsible learners able to focus, to set priorities and goals to meet the completion date of their course

Teen Parent Program The Teen Parent Centre is for students who require additional support in the regular school system due to pregnancy or child care needs. Based at the supervised Centre, students can continue their education either in regular classes at F.H. Collins Secondary School or in self-directed courses such as those offered through the Yukon Education Moodle platform (an on-line distributed learning curriculum), or through the Pro Active Curriculum. Prenatal classes can be accessed at the Centre; parenting strategies and classes are required components of the program at the Teen Parent Centre. The Teen Parent Centre offers a daily hot lunch for students and their child; a Registered Nurse accesses additional nutritional support for students’ through our C.P.N.P. program.

SUPPORT PROGRAM COURSES

English as a Second Language (ELL 11)Credits can be obtained for an ESL course by special permission only, in consultation with the ESL teacher and counselor.

Teacher’s Assistant (YTA11) & (YTA12) by Teacher Recommendation4 credits

This is a locally developed option. To be a teacher’s assistant, the student must be a graduate of that course. This option is a very positive addition to a graduate’s resume. The student becomes more self-confident and poised when interacting with their peers as he/she acquires positive functional strategies, organizational and time management skills.

FRENCH PROGRAM

A Note on French Courses One of the objectives of the new French program is communication. Unlike traditional grammar orientated programs, Territorial courses are taught in themes in which students learn vocabulary, structures and grammar appropriate to the subject matter. Because communication is the primary goal of this program, grammar has less emphasis, but still plays an important role.

This communicative approach is reflected in the course material, grading and in the final exams, which are divided into written and oral sections. ALL students will have an oral as well as a written exam. It is essential that each student have a French/English dictionary and a Bescherel for personal use.

Dual Credit Information

What is a dual credit? A dual credit is a college/university level course taken by high school students at a postsecondary institute. The students earn credit at both the high school level (for Yukon students, these courses count as a grade 12 elective course) and at the postsecondary level. The course will be offered by Yukon College at their campus. The following web link lists the courses that are available at Yukon College: http://www.yukoncollege.yk.ca/programs/courses/dc

What’s the benefit of dual credit?Participating in dual credit programming gives students the opportunity to experience postsecondary courses and programming, explore potential career pathways, and earn university credit. Students can also prepare themselves for postsecondary by getting some foundational course work completed while still in high school. In addition, Yukon Education sponsors the dual credit program, so there is no tuition! Students need only pay a small student and technology fee.

How many dual credits can students take?Students are permitted to take two dual credit courses per year. They can take one course each semester or two courses in one semester. Students and counsellors must ensure that students have sufficient time in their schedule to accommodate dual credit courses.

-students must have the prerequisite high school courses in order to register for a dual credit

Which Yukon College courses are eligible for dual credit? Any Yukon College course that is part of the British Columbia Council on Admission and Transfer (BCCAT) system are eligible for dual credit. Students can determine if a course is included in BCCAT by clicking the “check BC transfer options” on each course page. This link will take you to the BCCAT page for that course and list all the other postsecondary institutes in BC that will accept that course.
