- 1. Northern Learning Centre at Kelly Road Secondary School Parent Information Night Feb 28th 7pm
- 3. Northern Learning Centre • Choice program • Project-based personalized learning with a focus on 21st Century skills • Grade 8, 9, and 10 students • Standards-based reporting • Applied learning where teachers & students pull out Prescribed Learning Outcomes • Digital world–reporting, PLOs, and portfolios – meeting students in their world • All students need a digital device (e.g. laptop) • Approximately 1 to 25 ratio
- 4. Northern Learning Centre Vision • To engage learners through a personal learning choice program. Where real life connection to student learning matters! Mission • To ensure each student is ready for the 21st Century with the skills, attitudes, experiences and mindsets to be successful. Values • Promote creativity and innovation • Practice collaboration, teamwork, leadership • Foster cross cultural understanding • Develop communication and media literacy • Ongoing career learning – self reliance • Promote a lifestyle of caring for personal health
- 5. Rationale The students we are teaching today are very different than students we taught ten years ago. The ability to access information anytime, anywhere is the reality of our learners. Students are looking for ways to apply their knowledge to extend their learning. Our system needs to respond to our learners. Recently, the Ministry of Education has released BC’s Education Plan. This plan outlines the need to prepare our learners for the 21st Century. We are preparing our learners for jobs that don’t even exist yet.
- 6. Project Based Learning In Project Based Learning (PBL), students go through an extended process of inquiry in response to a complex question, problem, or challenge. Rigorous projects help students learn key academic content and practice 21st Century Skills, such as collaboration, communication, & critical thinking. http://www.bie.org/about/w hat_is_pbl/
- 7. Project Based Learning Students in PBL, • gain a deeper understanding of concepts and standards at the heart of a project; • build vital workplace skills and lifelong habits of learning; • address community issues, explore careers, interact with mentors, and apply technology; • present their work to audiences beyond the classroom. PBL may motivate students who struggle to find connections http://plpnetwork.com/2012/12/29/project-based- learning-immersion-designing-quality-projects/ between school curriculum and their lives.

- 20. Feedback • For us *'s experience is, as they say, "night and day" from last year to this. I mean this in the positive. * is far more engaged, less stressed, and I believe more content. He is also clearly enjoying the work more than the traditional approach. There seems to be an increase in opportunity for him to feel successful and to have some experience with leadership which is just so, so important for all youth at this age. I can speak for both my husband and I to share that we are very happy with the NLC and what you and Beth are able to offer the students. Don't hesitate to let us know how, as parents, or community partners we can support the program. • Good morning. % and I used the rubrics to review his slides. Those rubrics are so great!!! The slides are now ready for your re-review. Thank you for giving % this opportunity to have some learning time with mom! Ask % about www.easybib.com. He is still a bit unsure about the difference between resources and references. We had some fun using easybib to make his references slide :)

- We have been receiving several calls from parents asking about what a typical day would look like at the NLC. One big advantage of this program will be the integrated approach to the curriculum. The whole grade 8 or grade 9 learning outcomes will be identified. Over the course of a year students would be covering the entire grade curriculum. The curriculum would be covered through practice and application in their project work. A typical day could look like this:8:45-9:00 Connect time - class connection time with teacher9:00–9:45 Physical activity - in the gym or outside. Students would pick which activities or sports they would like to participate in.9:45–10:00 Nutrition break/health seminars10:00–11:00 Direct instruction (class) - This would be class time where teacher would be teaching specific items to students. Content specific skills or ideas that they need to know about in order to proceed with their project. Student’s classes would be organized based on # of students.11:00–12:00 Direct instruction (seminar) - Break out into small groups where students would be grouped according to interests. Specific skills may need to be taught. Students and teachers may request time to offer direct assistance with specific parts of their project.12:00 12:45 Lunch12:45– 3:00 Project work - After a phasing in time period. Students would be spending time researching and applying knowledge to complete projects. Some time would be outside the school where connections to real life would me made. This session could be a time to work on solutions, ask questions, consult with teachers, ask experts and apply knowledge. As you can see this timetable offers lots of flexibility and a whole bunch of freedom to explore. As with many new ideas we need to phase this in. As a grade 8 or 9 student starting this for the first time, this freedom to learning will need to be phased in and taught how to use their time for productive learning.
