  4. Distance Education has become such an integral part of the fabric of the school we`ve recently moved to a larger space. • We now occupy the largest room in the school (except the library and gym of course!) Part of theNCS school culture Every Grade 10 student MUST take Distance Education courses – we`ve built it into their schedule.

  5. How do we use ADLC material? • Students who need to be on an accelerated program. • Students with Special Needs. • Students who need more time and/or help with their courses. • Students who need to boost their credit total. • Students who need to boost their average for scholarships.

  6. Why do our students LIKE Distance Ed.? • Lots of course choices – THEIR CHOICES! • They can have an “off day” and not have homework. • They can work on their course at home (and they do). • They choose a date to write their exam. • They like to try a little bit of many different 1 credit courses. • Although students enjoy spares, they get bored and come to the DE Room to register in an course or two.

  11. Down to the details... • Students have an opportunity to look through courses to help make their choices. • Before I register a student, they get an opportunity to work on the first few pages of the course to make sure this is what they want to do. • Students are encouraged to work quietly for at least half of the class period. • Students are permitted to listen to I-Pods during class but not during an exam. • Attendance is taken and reported to the office. • Lessons with additional parts (small art items, CD’s, etc) are kept together in ziplock bags or something similar. • It’s important to give a lot of verbal positives – Great mark, Your Multiple Choice questions were well done, etc. • Circulate the room frequently. Check to see what page/question each student is on. Stop and ask if they need help. • If a student seems stuck on one page, sit down with them and help find an answer or two. It’s usually enough to get them started again.

  12. Tangible Incentives • Weekly draw for pen/pencil, eraser, lollipop, etc. • Weekly school assembly – Student of the Month • Distance Ed. Marks are included in the average for Honor Roll • Award Certificates presented at the conclusion of each semester at school assembly. • A Yearly academic award is awarded to the Grade 12 student with the highest number of credits earned in Distance Ed. during their high school.

  13. Other incentives(negative) • Names of students who are behind schedule are written on the board and updated weekly. • Names of students who are behind are given to the Principal. At this point, these students loose any spares they may have as well as work in the office at noon until they are back on schedule. • If there is still little improvement contact is made with parents. • Letters could be sent to parents prior to the conclusion of the semester indicating the consequences for their child should the course not be completed.
