This project will focus on curriculum alignment and student pathways through developing a plan for secondary students entering technological programs with College and Apprenticeship Math (MAP4C). The College Writing Exemplar document will be used to integrate the writing skills and formats into Grade 11 and 12 courses. Advanced Standing agreements in the areas of trades and apprenticeship programs will be developed and strategies to support struggling student participation in college Hospitality programs. Pilot
B Approximately fifteen secondary students, who would be early school leavers, will complete secondary graduation requirements at Northern College and obtain advanced standing credits through team teaching between secondary teachers and college staff. The two college credits will include a General Education Services credit suitable for all first year college students and a second college course specific to the students interest. The dual program will benefit students through the counting of credits towards the OSSD and towards college graduation.

RPT The Regional Planning Team will deliver two forums for teacher candidates/associate teachers (120 people) focusing on preparing secondary students for college programs. A one day forum of experiential activities for Grades 7-8 students followed by a Family Day where students demonstrate for their parents their accomplishments from the previous day is planned. Students described as disengaged and struggling will attend college on three occasions for orientation and development of skills. The RPT will, through Making Environmental Connections (MEC) link secondary teachers and college staff in the environmental studies curriculum to enhance the classroom delivery of the environmental studies curriculum. This has resulted in articulation agreements, the development of six independent study units and students accessing college through the MEC initiative. Fifteen schools will work further with this multi credit environmental program. The regional forums will focus on Connecting Mathematics Educators, Connecting Students to Careers in Hospitality and Tourism, Connecting Business Educators and Connecting Students with College Supports. These activities are known as Building Connections i.e. Building Connections at Durham College, Building Connections at Loyalist College, Building Connections at Sir Sanford Fleming College. |

Three teacher forums in the program areas of Business, Science, Math and English will be held in different locations throughout the region. Following laddering the curriculum matching of General Carpenter Level I Apprenticeship in school curriculum and Secondary Construction Technology, Grade 11 and 12, the same development will occur with Metal Machining and Motive Power. Other areas for consideration in consultation with Business Education advisors and College Program Advisory Committees will be Electrical Welder/Fitter, Early Childhood Education, Educational Assistants and Health Sciences. Students will be able to take concurrent reach ahead courses to receive both secondary and college credits.
