PWA’s Mission Statement Mission Statement: Learning for all. Success for all. CONNECT Vision: To support each individual student – creating opportunities for success
Program highlights • To develop methods for supporting student learning at Peace Wapiti Academy by providing different models of learning • To give students opportunities for learning in line with the 21st century • To allow for differentiated learning according to students’ needs • To offer alternative methods of learning for any student • The program is teacher and student directed
Four Branches • Extension • Recovery • Redirection • Acceleration
Extension • a student is enrolled in a regular class but is unable to meet the outcomes by the end of the semester • This may include students • on a slower paced program • with high absence over the semester • unable to learn all the material • Student is given the opportunity to extend the course into the next semester before writing the final exam
Recovery • Student is capable of achieving the outcomes but has struggled with specific outcomes • Student did not successfully meet some of the objectives but were successful in other parts of the course • Student writes the final exam and then is given the opportunity to redo certain “units/exams”
Redirection • Student did not master the outcomes and/or do not possess the work habits or skills necessary • Student can be retained in the same course • Student can be redirected to a lower “level” course
Acceleration • Student wants to accelerate through a course so that they can register in a second course after completion • Still under construction
PWA Connect Hybrid • CONNECT works on a hybrid model – it is not modules or an online course. • Students are assigned the work by teachers • Teachers set up regular meetings with students • Teachers mark the work • Teachers are available for help • Teachers are free to set up discussions, Elluminate sessions etc. with groups of students
Final Comments • PWA CONNECT Is designed to provide individual support to students based on their unique needs. • PWA Connect is driven by student and teacher requests.
