1. If the students has not handed in work by the assigned due date, they have missed the opportunity to do so and the mark will be a zero for that assignment.

2. The student may submit their work prior to the due date to have the teacher assess and provide feedback. This provides the opportunity to revise and resubmit work by the due date in order to improve the student’s grade.

3. Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date. Absence is not an excuse for late submissions. If the work is done, the student should send it with a friend or relative, or submit it electronically to their teacher.

4. All rough work should be available to the teacher upon request. 5. Extensions of due dates are available to individuals who show a good work ethic in class. If the students is

not able to meet a due date it is their responsibility to speak with their teacher, at least one day before the due date, so that an extension can be arranged. There will be no extensions granted the day assignments are due.

6. Late assignments may be graded, or marked only as complete.7. Assignments submitted after class work has been returned will not be graded

Teaching Strategies:- extensions for completing assignments or assessment tasks- modifying the format of the assessment materials- providing assistance from the resource department- providing a quiet place for student assessment- providing the use of word processors and or oral responses- allowing students to redo classroom tests or assignments

Differentiated Instruction: Use small-group instruction to reteach students having difficulty Demonstrate ideas or skills in addition to talking about them. Use reading partners to support understanding of text or supplementary materials. Use videotapes to supplement and support explanations and lectures. Use student questions and topics to guide lectures and materials selection. Present material in visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modes. Teach with whole-to-part and part-to-whole approaches. Use tiered activities (activities at different levels of difficulty, but focused

on the same key learning goals). Use applications, examples, and illustrations from a wide range of intelligences. Make task directions more detailed and specific for some learners and more open for others. Use both like-readiness and mixed-readiness work groups. Use interest-based work groups and discussion groups. Provide small-group discussions at varied levels of complexity and focused on a

variety of skills. Vary the pacing of student work.

Allow students to specialize in aspects of a topic that they find interesting and to share their findings with others.

Allow multiple options for how students express learning. Encourage students to work together or independently Lead optional, in-class, small-group discussions on various facets of product development. Encourage students to demonstrate key knowledge, understanding and skills in related

topics of special interest.(Differentiation in practice: Tomlinson & Strickland 2005)

Career Education:Ongoing discoveries and innovations coupled with rapidly evolving technologies haveresulted in an exciting environment in which creativity and innovation thrive, bringingabout new career opportunities. Today’s employers seek candidates with strong technicalskills, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, and the ability to work cooperativelyin a team, traits that are developed through participation in technological education.Technological education courses enable students to develop problem-solving skills, designskills, technical knowledge and skills, and the ability to conduct research, present results,and work on projects both independently and in a team environment.

Cooperative Education and other forms of Experiential LearningCooperative education and other forms of experiential learning, such as job shadowing,field trips, and work experience, are central to technological education, enabling studentsto apply the skills they have developed in the classroom to real-life activities in thecommunity and in the world of technological innovation. Cooperative education andother workplace experiences also help to broaden students’ knowledge of employmentopportunities in a wide range of fields, including industrial, motive power, construction,service, and agricultural trades; engineering; hospitality and tourism; and health care. Inaddition, students develop their understanding of workplace practices, certifications, andthe nature of employer–employee relationships. Teachers of technological education cansupport their students’ learning by maintaining links with community-based businessesto ensure that students have access to hands-on experiences that will reinforce the knowledgeand skills gained in school.Students who choose a technological education course as the related course for two cooperativeeducation credits are able, through this packaged program, to meet the group 1, 2,and 3 compulsory credit requirements for the OSSD.
