TYPES OF COURSES
Locally Developed Compulsory Credit Courses (LW/LZ): These courses are
designed to meet the educational needs not met by the provincial curriculum.
These courses also reflect the developmental progression of learning
expectations across the grades, provide for concept continuity for students who
may have gaps in their learning, and make interconnections between subjectarea learning and skills in literacy and mathematical literacy. The learner is
central to the LDCC Courses. These courses build in literacy and mathematical
literacy, the Essential Skills, and recognize the importance of concept continuity
– meeting the learners where they are and moving them forward. Also central to
the development is the pathway to Workplace Preparation courses and beyond.
Open Courses (O): These courses are designed to prepare students for further
study in certain subjects and to enrich their education generallly. Open courses
comprise a set of expectations that are appropriate for all students.
Workplace Courses (E): Workplace preparation courses are designed to equip
students with the knowledge and skills they need for direct entry into the
workplace or for admission to apprenticeship programs and other training
programs offered in the community. The range and content of the courses
offered will allow students to prepare for a variety of jobs, training programs, and
careers. Teaching and learning will emphasize workplace applications of the
course content, but will also explore the theoretical material that underlies these
practical applications. Workplace preparation courses will be based on rigorous
provincial curriculum expectations and will emphasize the development of
generic employment skills, as well as independent research and learning skills.
