Calgary Public schools face 324 Job Cuts

2011-07-03T20:52:00.000-04:00

The interesting part of this story is the revelation that the Calgary school board spends a significantly higher percentage of the school board budget on the top officials and school board administrators and less on the actual teachers who teach the students.

A Calgary Herald analysis found that the Calgary school board could save $10.5 million if it spent as little on administration as the most frugal of its Alberta counterparts.

The huge rent for the fancy new Calgary School board building is just one of the problems that the Calgary school board created for itself.

The Calgary School board plans to continue support for ESL programming for students born outside of Canada.

High School should Educate Students

2010-02-20T15:46:00.004-05:00

"Ontario high schools will be able to provide every student with an education advantage," said Premier McGuinty.

The McGuinty government made a commitment to improve student success by setting graduation targets. By 2010, Ontario will graduate 85 per cent of its students, up from just 68 per cent when the McGuinty government took office.

Phase three of the Student Success Strategy will:

Add a new Specialist High-Skills Major to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma that will allow students to complete a minimum bundle of courses in specific high-skills areas such as arts, business, information technology, and construction and manufacturing

Introduce legislation that would, if passed, require students to keep learning in a classroom, apprenticeship or workplace training program until age 18 or until they graduate

Expand cooperative education programs through increased partnerships with business and community organizations

Create new dual-credit programs to allow students to earn several credits toward an Ontario Secondary School Diploma through college, apprenticeship and university courses.

Introduce a new coordinated effort and formal links between high schools and postsecondary destinations to help students reach higher.

"For too long, high schools have struggled to help students reach their potential through a one-size-fits-all model," said Kathleen Wynne.

"We want our province to succeed and for that to happen, we need our people to succeed - so dropping out when you turn 16 should not be an option," said Premier McGuinty.

TDSB adds 55 ESL Teachers to Toronto High Schools

2009-01-18T19:36:00.004-05:00

As reported by many education organizations the TDSB has continualy "re-assigned" the Ontario Provincial ESL grants into overhead and maintainence budgets to make up for budget shortfalls.

This process has left many of the over 20,000 new Toronto immigrants over the last 3 years with no ESL teacher to help.

Using even simple math tells everyone that 10,000 (half of the students) divided by 55 teachers equals 181 students per teacher.

Good ESL classes are a 10 student to 1 teacher ratio. A teacher can teach 60 students each day - seeing all 181 students every three days.

Just to put everything into some sort of perspective it takes the average student about 2000 hours of instruction and 3,000 hours of self-study and practice to become fluent in English.

The "new" TDSB ESL initiative means that the new immigrants will need about (lets see 210 school days each year divided by three equals 70 ESL classes each year) (Now we take the 2000 hours and divide by 70) yes just over 28.5 years of high school classes to become fluent in English.

In a recent Toronto Sun Article the Toronto board's superintendent of programs
Karen Grose is quoted "Every single English language learner across the system now has a teacher assigned to them"

What we say is so what - the students really need 500 hours each year.

Read the full article
http://www.torontosun.com/news/2009/01/18/8060621-sun.html

The article also begs the question - why does the Ontario Provincial Government not moniter how this specialty ESL grant is spent - and why did the TDSB ignore the real educational needs of their students.

Public Education Costs will top 10,000 per student

2008-04-07T11:23:00.004-04:00

Funding to meet the needs of Ontario students in Ontario public school boards is expected to increase to $18.8 billion for the 2008/2009 school year.

According to Finance Minister Dwight Duncan, the Ontario government's investment in the public school system has increased 24 per cent to about $9,821 per student since the Liberals took office almost five years ago.

More than $16 million in additional dollars is being promised to bolster programs for students at-risk of failing high school.

Other public education system investments include:

• $10 million for English as a Second Language in the 2008/2009 school year

• $67 million for special needs students in the 2008/2009 school year

• $32 million over three years for the Student Nutrition Program

• $2 million in 2008/2009 for Parenting and Family Literacy Centres

• $10 million in 2008/2009 to help students receive a well-rounded education through arts, music, physical education and other outdoor education programs

• $3 million in 2008/2009 to ensure environmental education and awareness is a part of lessons and school operations.

The children of visitors to Canada will have to pay the usual cost to taxpayers of the public education expenses. Most Ontario school boards will be charging 10,000 dollars and up depending on administration expenses and local costs.

Many school boards welcome citizens from other countries to attend Ontario public schools as it is a source of funding for the public schools and helps create jobs in the Canadian education industry.

The good news is that for every 6 foreign students that attend a Canadian public school - one education job is created and 2 service jobs. The bad news is that for every student that is falsly represented as a Canadian and put into the very expensive public school system the taxpayers have $10,000 stolen from them.

Link to Find an Ontario School Board

There are three clasifications for elementary and high schools in Ontario.

1. Public schools
2. Catholic schools supported by public system
3. Private schools

There are wide differences in education quality offered by the Ontario schools.

The Public and Catholic schools that hire Ontario College of Teacher Members with Faculty of Education degrees usually offer the best quality elementary and high school education programs - graduate more students and have higher acceptance at university and professional degree programs.

Many private elementry and high schools report to or are licensed as private schools by the Ontario Ministry of education. Many of these private schools do not hire Ontario College of Teacher Members or even graduates with an Education Degree. Every year dozens of these very poor schools lose their registration or license or after inspection the students can not get a credit for their studies so sometimes students lose one or two years of study and of course all their money is gone.

You must do more research on private Ontario elementary and high schools before paying tuition.

Link to Ontario Government Warning about Private Elementary and High Schools

Consumers are advised to exercise due diligence with respect to contracts with private schools as they would with any other business transaction. For questions please refer to the Consumer Protection Branch of the Ministry of Government Services at (Toronto) (416) 326-8555, or (toll-free) 1-800-268-1142.

Study in Toronto Private High School

2008-01-29T18:18:00.003-05:00

To apply to the private Ontario High School students must complete the high school application form and provide copies of their previous two years' Report Cards.

The prospective student and his or her parents will then attend a personal interview with the Principal. A review of the student's past achievements and discussion of future goals will be part of this process. In some cases an academic in English and or Mathematics may be required.

The school year is divided into 3 semesters, where students take 2 or 3 credits in each semester, completing a minimum of 110 hours per course. The student, parents and staff will decide on the appropriate course load. However, students must be aware that the following is required to graduate in four years.

8 Grade 9 credits
8 Grade 10 credits
8 Grade 11 credits
6 Grade 12 credits

Academic Year 2007-08

The full-time day program academic year consists of 8 credits (6 in Grade 12) taken over 3 semesters.

Our schedule is designed so that students can enrol in up to three credits over each 13-week semester, completing a minimum of 110 hours per course.

The school week is Monday-Friday from 9:00am – 3:30p.m.

Students who cannot complete the requirements in the regularly scheduled time may be eligible to continue the course through Independent Study, or by extending it into the following semester, at the discretion of the Principal.

Fall Term --- September 10 – Novermber 30, 2007

Winter Term --- December 3, 2007 – March 21, 2008

Spring Term --- March 24 – June 13, 2008

*Note: winter break is Dec. 24th - Jan 4th and spring break March 10th -14th.

Full Time Academy Overview

The private high school offers full-time day programs, part-time courses, as well as private study options.

The class sizes are small (usually less than 6) enabling teachers to get to know each student's strengths and weakness, students can receive individual attention and support and teachers can tailor their teaching style to help students learn the material most effectively.

While our program is academic, we strive to highlight the practical elements of each course, which helps keep students engaged.

Teaching Tailored to Learning Style

Every individual has a dominant learning style - the way they are best able to acquire, retain and process information. Through interviews and assessments we determine student's natural learning style (i.e. visual, auditory, kinesthetic), and tailor our teaching style and class activities to give him or her opportunities to capitalize on these areas of strength and to develop strengths in weaker areas.

Personal Coaching to increase motivation and find direction

To achieve personal success, students need to do more than excel academically. They need to understand themselves, what they want, and how to get it. Coaching staff work with students individually and in small groups to guide them in this process of self discovery and direction setting.

Coaching staff use a variety of personality, interest and aptitude assessments to help students learn more about themselves, and about what careers might be suitable for them.

English As a Second Language and English Literacy Development Overview

Students in any grade may be placed in appropriate ESL or ELD courses. Since many ESL/ELD classes include students aged between fourteen and eighteen, the topics and activities must be selected to appeal to a wide range of ages and maturity levels. There are five ESL courses and four ELD courses. The courses are designated according to levels of proficiency in English and literacy development, not by grade.

Working within the framework of the Education Act and its regulations, district school boards adapt provincial education policy to local situations. They must also provide and maintain within their jurisdiction adequate teaching and support staff and appropriate facilities. Trustees, as elected members of the board, represent the local community, providing a link between electors and the education ystem.

Private schools also provide elementary and secondary education. They are independently operated and do not receive funding from the government.

In Ontario, all permanent residents between the ages of 6 and 16 must attend school. Elementary schools provide Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten programs (for children aged 4 and 5) and programs for grades 1 through 8. Secondary schools currently offer programs from Grade 9 through to Grade 12, as well as Ontario Academic Courses (OACs). To receive an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, students need to complete at least thirty credits in secondary school (one credit is normally one course). Students planning to attend university can include the required six Ontario Academic Courses in these thirty credits. The new standards for education were introduced during 1999 in high schools across Ontario.

The credit system consists of:

Compulsory Credits (total of 18)
4 credits in English (1 credit per grade)

1 credit in French as a second language
3 credits in mathematics (at least 1 credit in Grade 11 or 12)
2 credits in science
1 credit in Canadian history

1 credit in Canadian geography
1 credit in the arts (music, art, drama, or dance)
1 credit in health and physical education
1/2 credit in civics and 1/2 credit in career studies
1 additional credit in English, or a third language, or a social science, or Canadian and world studies

1 additional credit in health and physical education, or business studies, or the arts (music, art, drama, or dance)

1 additional credit in science (Grade 11 or 12) or technological education (Grades 9–12)

In addition to the 18 compulsory credits, students have to earn 12 optional credits in courses of their choice, selected from the full list of courses available in the school. Optional credits allow students to build an educational program that suits their individual interests and meets university, college, apprenticeship, or work requirements.

Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test
Students will take the Secondary School Literacy Test in Grade 10. Students must pass the test in order to graduate, and their result is recorded on their student transcript. Students who do not complete the test successfully will receive remedial help to prepare them for retesting. The literacy test requirement is additional to the 30 credits needed for a high school diploma. The literacy test evaluates students' reading and writing skills based on curriculum expectations in language and communications up to and including Grade 9. ESL students will take the test only when they have reached this level in their language studies. Accommodations will be made for students in special education programs.
