Advanced Learning Strategies
These courses improve students’ learning and personal management skills, preparing them to make successful transitions to work, training and/or postsecondary education destinations. Students will access their learning abilities and use literacy, numeracy, and research skills and personal management techniques to maximize their learning. Students will investigate trends and resources to support their postsecondary employment, training, and/or education choices and develop a plan to help them meet their learning and career goals.
Rationale for Grades 11/12 Learning Strategies Courses:
- The importance of the pupil’s ability to become more independent in utilizing learning strategies in all learning situations will be of significant importance in these programs.
- Learning strategies and techniques will continue to be taught as determined in the pupil’s needs assessment but with more emphasis placed upon the pupil’s facility to develop these strategies.
- Developing and enhancing the pupil’s perception of the notions of responsibility and accountability in the learning experience is a primary focus.
