  14. Strand Organization Overall expectations must be evaluated Specific expectations must be addressed

  15. The Ontario Curriculum… is not written in a linear fashion!

  16. Common Content in Revised Courses • Fundamentals (Skills and Knowledge) Strand • Skills Strand • Sections on: • Technology and Society • Technology and the Environment • Post-secondary Pathways and Careers • Health and Safety • Work Habits and Essential Skills (per OSP) • Portfolio Expectation

  17. Grade 9 and 10 • Grade 9 • Integrated Technologies (TTI) changed to Exploring Technologies (TIJ) • Can be offered as BBT in each subject area • Course codes provided • No emphasis or multiple-credit option • ½ credit option available • Grade 10 • 10 Subject Area BBTs • Emphasis and multiple-credit option available • No emphasis course codes supplied • Maximum of 3 credits in a multi-credit course

  18. BBT Philosophy • Hands-on: The courses are activity-based and project-driven, relying on a problem solving approach to learn related skills and knowledge • Each subject area reflects a range of related sectors or occupations

  19. Photography and Digital Imaging Computer Network Support Masonry Horticulture Hairstyling Dental Food and Nutrition Computer Aided Manufacturing Auto Body Interior Design BBT Emphasis Courses

  20. BBT Emphasis Option cont’d • Allow specialization in a specific sector or career path, but not to the total exclusion of the other related areas of the BBT subject • Are identified by 3rd character in course code (grades 11-12 only) • Has its own course descriptor to add to the BBT descriptor • May have additional specific expectations which must be addressed • Are still activity-based and project-driven, etc. (per standard BBT philosophy)

  21. BBT Emphasis Option cont’d • Why offer an emphasis course? • Excellent option for focused credit bundles • Meets a community need • Aligns with staff expertise • Identifies what you are actually delivering • Note: any grade 11 BBT or emphasis course within a subject area serves as a prerequisite for any grade 12 BBT or emphasis course within that same subject area • Emphasis course codes provided for grades 11/12

  22. Multiple Credit Courses • Allowed in grades 10, 11, and 12 • May be up to three credits (330 hours) • Must pre-declare the # of credits • Appropriate for focused programs: • OYAP • SHSM • Dual Credit • First credit must follow BBT philosophy • Subsequent credits (2nd, 3rd) are for the practice and refinement of skills and knowledge

  23. Major Changes • The division of subjects into Part A (Broad-Based Technology) and Part B (Computer Studies) has been eliminated • Computer and Information Science has been moved to its own discipline named Computer Studies • Computer Engineering has become a Broad-based Technology subject and renamed Computer Technology • Health and Personal Services is now two subjects: • Health Care • Hairstyling and Aesthetics

  24. Major Changes cont’d • Green Industries is a new subject, replacing any locally developed Agriculture, Horticulture, Landscaping, and Forestry courses • Technological Design workplace preparation courses have been changed to open • Communications Technology workplace preparation courses have been changed to open • Woodworking courses have been added to Construction Technology • Health Care now has a grade 12 workplace preparation course and grade 11 and 12 university/college preparation courses

  25. Major Changes cont’d • Manufacturing Technology now has grade 11 and 12 university/college preparation courses • Transportation Technology grade 11 workplace preparation has been changed to open • Emphasis subjects are now predefined with their own designated course codes • There is now a direct correlation between the overall and the specific expectations • Inclusion of Essential Skills and Work Habits (per Ontario Skills Passport)

  26. Things to Start Thinking About

  27. Think About… • Who do you need to share this information with right now?

  28. Think About… • Which courses and/or new subjects will you offer next year?

  29. Think About… • How and when will you train the teachers in your school board?
