Opening Remarks

Grade 10-12 Curriculum Overview and Update

Curriculum: The Design

Curriculum: The Design

Content (Know) The content learning standards — the “Know” of the know-do-understand model of learning — detail the essential topics and knowledge at each grade level. The content students should KNOW Curricular Competencies (Do) The curricular competencies are the skills, strategies, and processes that students develop over time. They reflect the "do" in the know-do- understand model of learning. While curricular competencies are more subject-specific, they are connected to the core competencies. The competencies students should DO Big Ideas (Understand) The big ideas consist of generalizations and principles and the key concepts important in an area of learning. They reflect the "understand" component of the know-do-understand model of learning. The big ideas represent what students will understand at the completion of the curriculum for their grade. They are intended to endure beyond a single grade and contribute to future understanding. The big ideas students should UNDERSTAND

Core Competencies

Provincial Assessments

 Serves as a graduation requirement  Ensures all students are numerate and literate  Provides students with evidence of their proficiency in numeracy and literacy for use after graduation  Provides system-level performance information in the areas of literacy and numeracy

Purpose

Comparing the Old and New Provincial Assessments

What is The Same?

• developed by practicing BC educators
• required for graduation
• written in 2 hours (plus an additional

hour if needed)

• marked centrally (as were LA12 exams)
• based on high standards and rigour

(employing the same statistical methodologies)

What is New?

• not tied to a course (cross-curricular)
• include student choice
• administered on-line except for two

paper-based problem solving questions in Numeracy

• present a variety of engaging question

formats

• include student self-reflection
• offer opportunity for students to write at

the most appropriate time within the graduation years (10-12)

• administered over a week-long window
• reported on a proficiency scale

Numeracy Assessment

Numeracy Overview

• Assessment not linked to specific Mathematics course

and will be reported on a four-category proficiency scale.

• Students entering Grades 10 and 11 in 2017/18 are in the

2018 Graduation Program

• Numeracy assessment is a graduation requirement and is

written during the graduation years (10-12)

• Three attempts allowed
• Final transcript will display best outcome

• Numeracy Design Specifications
• Numeracy Scoring Guide and Student Exemplars
• Numeracy Sample (on-line and pdf)
• Graduation Assessments Webinar
• Illustrative Numeracy Videos (available shortly)
• Calculator Policy
• Numeracy Administration Guide

Winter 2018

• Draft specifications available online

Winter 2019

• Final specifications, exemplars and samples available online

Fall 2019

Assessment Eligibility

 Students who entered Grade 12 in 2017/18 are not eligible because they are on the 2004 Graduation Program.  The new assessments are only required for students on the 2018 Graduation Program.  The assessments are required for graduation and should be taken in the Grade 10-12 years.  Students will be given up to three opportunities to complete the assessment.

Students in Grade 10 in 2017/18 will:

 Follow the 2018 Graduation Program requirements  Write the Numeracy and Literacy Assessments before

graduation (the Numeracy Assessment is being introduced in 2017/18; the Literacy Assessment is being introduced in 2019/20)

Summary

Students in Grade 11 in 2017/18 will:

• Follow the 2018 Graduation Program requirements
• Write the Numeracy Assessment before graduation
• Take a Language Arts 12 course and write the associated

provincial exam.

Summary

Students in Grade 12 in 2017/18 will:

• Finish all the 2004 Graduation Program requirements
• Have completed a Math 10, a Language Arts 10, a Science 10 and

have written associated provincial exams

• Take a Language Arts 12 course and write the associated provincial

exam

• Not write the new Numeracy or Literacy Assessments

Summary

• A proficiency category such as the following will be

implemented to report overall performance on both the Numeracy and Literacy assessment.

• It will be descriptive in nature and will indicate what skills the

student has demonstrated to attain that level.

• The proficiency category will be recorded on the transcript.

Proficiency Scale

Transcript

1 Emerging

• Demonstrates an initial understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.

2 Developing

• Demonstrates a partial understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.

3 Proficient

• Demonstrates a complete understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.

4 Extending

• Demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.

MET Literacy assessment requirement met by a Language Arts 12 provincial exam and/or Numeracy Assessment requirement met by a Mathematics 10 provincial exam.

What about the new Career Curriculum?

Moving Forward with the Transformation of Education

Jerry Whitehead

What is a Career?

The word “career” comes form the Latin for cart or chariot (carrus), a mean to carry you from one point to another. A career is about the life you want to lead – not just a job, occupation or profession. It involves deciding among possible and preferred futures. It answers: “Who do I want to be in the world?,” “What kind of lifestyle am I seeking?” and “How can I make an impact?”

The biggest change to course requirements for students on the new Graduation Program involves the retirement of two career courses (Planning 10 and Graduation Transitions), and the introduction of 8 credits in Career Education:

• Career Life Education
• Career Life Connections + Capstone Project

Career Planning

• Together these “courses” form 8 credits.
• The intention is for schools to be flexible with

delivery and not necessarily to see them only as two 4-credit courses, but rather 8 credits to be achieved during the student’s graduation years (10-12).

• PVSS is looking at: 2 creds (gr. 10) / 2 creds (gr. 11) /

4 creds (gr. 12).

Career Planning

• What career education courses will be used in all BC schools in

2018/19?

• Career Life Education
• Graduation Transitions
• What career education courses will be used in all BC schools in

2019/20?

• Career Life Education
• Career Life Connections + Capstone

Career Planning

• document, sort and represent one's emerging sense of self
• learn to gather evidence of competencies;
• learn to document stories and provide representations of

learning;

• a true "curriculum vitae"

Dynamic Portfolio/Profiles of Learning

Our current thinking for capstone

• Create a personal integrated plan for post-graduation that articulates

choices related to (but not limited to):

• Career
• Education
• Finances
• Health and Well-being
• Personal passions
• Design, assemble, and present a capstone project

to an audience that demonstrates reflection on personal learning and achievement (in and out of school), growth in the core competencies, and reflection on a post-graduation plan

The BC Educated Citizen

• Thoughtful, able to learn and to think critically, and who can communicate

information from a broad knowledge base;

• Creative, flexible, self-motivated and who have a positive self image;
• Capable of making independent decisions;
• Skilled and who can contribute to society generally, including the world of work;
• Productive, who gain satisfaction through achievement ,and who strive for physical

well-being;

• Cooperative, principled and respectful of others regardless of differences;
• Aware of the rights and prepared to exercise the responsibilities of an individual

within the family, the community, Canada, and the world.
