GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this course calendar Is to provide parents and students with the
information currently available so that they can select a program appropriate to
their individual needs. The calendar lists the requirements for a diploma and
provides descriptions of each course that will be offered in 1987-1988 at A.Y.
Jackson Secondary School.
Ultimately, the responsibility fora student's program rests with the parents, and
in the case of a student over eighteen, with the student himself. However, the
school offers considerable advice to assist in the decision-making process. For
students entering Grade 9, the recommendations of the Grade 8 teachers are the
most useful assistance available. For students already registered at this school,
the Guidance Department can offer consultation and advice in deciding on course
selection.
All information in this booklet is accurate as of its publication date January
1987. Should there be any alterations to policy or practices subsequent to this
date, the information will be provided in the Student Handbook issued to each
student on the first day of school in September 1987.

SCHOOL OBJECTIVES
This school shall provide an organized, structured environment so that students will have the
opportunity to:
1. develop a responsiveness to the dynamic processes of learning;
2. develop resourcefulness, adaptability, creativity in learning and living;
3. acquire the basic knowledge and skills needed to comprehend and express ideas through
words, numbers, and other symbols;
4. develop physical fitness and good health;
5. gain satisfaction from participating and from sharing the participation of others in various
forms of artistic expression;
6. develop a feeling of self-worth;
7. develop an understanding of the role of the individual within the family and the role of the
family within society;
8. acquire skills that contribute to self-reliance in solving practical problems in everyday
life;
9. develop a sense of personal responsibility in society at the local, national, and international
levels;
10. develop esteem for the customs, cultures, and beliefs of a wide variety of societal groups;
11. acquire skills and attitudes that will lead to satisfaction and productivity in the world of
work;
12. develop respect for the environment and a commitment to the wise use of resources;
13. develop values related to personal, ethical, or religious beliefs, and to the common welfare of
society.
THE SCHOOL'S EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS
Parents and students are expected to make realistic program selections based on the
student's individual needs, abilities and past performance. Once the commitment is made to a
particular program, students are expected to follow their commitment in a responsible
manner.
Regular attendance on the part of students is vital to the process of learning. When the
processes and content of learning are disrupted by irregular attendance, both the individual
student and the class suffer a loss of experiences that cannot be entirely replaced. Students
who habitually miss class suffer in the evaluation process because their participation and
achievement cannot be assessed.
Attendance in class should be of great concern to the semestered student, since one day of
absence actually equates to two lost subject periods. The subject attendance on the report card
will reflect this double loss.
After a certain number of classes have been missed, the student's status in a course will
be reassessed. Should the end result of this consultation not result in a pattern of regular
attendance, the student would normally fail to achieve credit for this course.
A complete Code of Behaviour for a student attending A. Y. Jackson Secondary School will
be found in the Student Handbook given out on the first day of school. It is recommended that
both parents and students read it.
ACHIEVEMENT
Evaluation is not an end in itself but rather part of the learning process for both the
teacher and the student. During the school year, formative evaluation will occur on a regular
basis. At the completion of each course, summative evaluation will occur. Its purpose is to
judge the student's achievement in relation to the stated objectives of the course.
The procedures for evaluating student progress will be sufficiently varied to meet the
requirements of different groups of students, different courses and different levels of
difficulty as well as a variety of learning environments. The specific procedure for each
course will be given at the commencement of each course to every student in the course. The
course descriptions contained in this calendar also contain an overview of each course.
Examinations are held in January and in June. Each individual course evaluation sheet
will contain the specific details of the examination. Should a student not write the January
examination in any non-semestered course for any reason, the June examination must be
written as part of the evaluation process. in semestered courses examinations are
compulsory. If an examination is missed for medical reasons, the final assessment will be
made at the discretion of the Principal.

COURSES - GENERAL INFORMATION (CON'T)
LEVEL OF INSTRUCTION
In courses where there is a choice of instructional levels, students should choose the
level that best suits their ability and goals. These can be determined from your past success in
the subject and from advice given by teachers, counsellors, and parents.
Students who choose levels that are too difficult, become frustrated. Those who choose
subjects because they will be "easy" for them, often find later that they lack requirements for
desired educational or vocational goals.
At A. Y. Jackson, levels of instruction are as follows:
1. Advanced Level ("A" Level courses)
Advanced level courses provide theoretical approaches, fundamental knowledge and
practical applications. Advanced and Enriched level courses also prepare students for
Grade 13 or OAC courses, all of which are offered only at the advanced level. Students
wishing to enter university or limited enrolment community college programmes, are
advised to take mainly A or AE level courses.
2. Enriched Level ("AE" Level Courses)
Courses at this level require a very high degree of ability, aptitude and effort. Course
content is identical to "A" level courses but includes enrichment, treatment in greater
depth, and additional topics. Entrance to an Enriched course requires the
recommendation of the appropriate teacher and/or department head (refer also to
Advanced Level above).
3. General Level ("0" Level Courses)
General Level courses provide practical applications to illustrate fundamental
concepts. These courses prepare students for employment or further education in
colleges and other non -university educational institutions but do not usually lead to
Grade 13 or OAC courses.
4. Basic Level ("B" Level Courses)
Basic Level course are designed to focus on the development of personal skills, social
understanding, self-confidence, and preparation for the world of work. Such courses
will assist students to prepare for a successful, independent home and working life, to
manage personal financial resources, to communicate effectively, and to develop
attitudes that foster respect for the environment, good health and fitness, and a positive
approach towards work and leisure.
COURSES OF STUDY
All courses of study have been developed within the guidelines laid down by the
Ministry of Education.
Up to date copies of all courses of study for the school are available in the main office
and in departmental offices.
These courses of study include:
1. Name of Ministry of Education guideline on which the course is based.
2. Level of difficulty at which the course is offered.
3. Credit value of the course.
4. Objectives of the course.
5. Core content of the course in sequence in which it will be studied.
6. Evaluation practices that will be used.
7. Name(s) of the textbook(s) to be used as well as any other learning materials which
may be essential to the course.

A. Y. JACKSON TIMETABLE POLICY
The minimum recommended course load for students is as follows:
Grade 9 - 8 courses
Grade 10 - 8 courses
Grade 11 - 8 courses
Grade 12 - 7 courses
Grade 13 - 6 courses
ONTARIO STUDENT TRANSCRIPT (OST)
A student's record of courses successfully completed and credits gained toward diploma
requirements are recorded and maintained on the Ontario Student Transcript. These are
entered using common course code designations issued by the Ministry of Education. When a
student has gained a minimum of eight credits, taken in Ontario, in either business studies or
technological studies, the transcript will reflect her/his concentration. When student
achievement is reported, only percentages are permitted on the Ontario Student Transcript.
PREREQUISITES
In most subjects, students should complete the previous course before attempting the
next grade level. Within the section "DESCRIPTION OF COURSES OFFERED'
recommended or MINISTRY OF EDUCATION prerequisites are therefore included.
TIMETABLE CHANOES
Option sheets are normally returned in February. Students can still change a selection
in their program until the end of June. After that date a limited number of changes will be
made if class size and timetable permits. Changes may be made only for the following reasons:
1. Summer school results.
2. Advanced - General moves.
3. Requirements for admission to post -secondary education
4. Career requirements
5. Timetable errors.
6. Medical reasons.
CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION
Co-operative Education is a joint effort between the schools and the community to
provide students with learning experiences outside the classroom. It uses community
resources to meet particular educational needs of students. The students are placed in work
locations which complement in -school learning activities. The in -school and out-of-school
activities are co-ordinated so that classroom learning and work experiences combine in an
educationally beneficial way. Co-operative education is a hands-on learning method which
provides A. Y. Jackson students with the opportunity to clarify career objectives, develop
employable skills, gain experience with modern systems, procedures and equipment and
develop communication skills in a work environment. Students are placed in career areas of
their choice and a training plan is developed by the teacher and work supervisor to ensure a
valuable, stimulating experience.
-10 -
CO -OPERATIVE EDUCATION CREDIT COURSE
Co-operative Education is open to students in Orade 11 and 12 attending A. Y. Jackson
Secondary School. Students must apply for the course, receive a teacher's recommendation and
successfully complete an interview in order to be eligible for co-operative education. This
course consists of two related components; one in -school and one out-of-school, each giving
relevance and reinforcement to the other. The in -school subject (one credit) forms at least
one-third of the co-operative education program. The approved out-of-school placement
(worth up to 2 credits) makes up the balance of the co-operative educational program. The
out-of-school co-operative education course consists of two parts
Part 1 - work orientation, reflective learning sessions, assignments and
presentations in the classroom.
Part 2 - supervised learning activities at one or more training stations, hence
a one -credit course includes Part 1) 30 hrs. plus Part 2) 150 hrs -
Total 180 hrs.
a two -credit course includes Part 1) 40 hrs. plus Part 2) 320 hrs -
Total 360 hrs.
Students in the program are usually in school one-half of the day and at a work station
the remaining half of the day. The employer and the school jointly, develop, monitor and
evaluate the students out-of-school training program and progress.
Co-operative education courses are available in all senior subject areas.
It is the intent of Co-operative Education to assist students in making the transition
from school to career by becoming familiar with the realities of the world of work.

THE GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT
The Guidance program plays a vital role in the school curriculum at A. Y Jackson
Secondary School. It is a composite of the school's instructional, counselling, consultation,
co-ordination, and liaison activities that are planned and implemented to assist student
orientation, program selection, and preparation for the next level of study or entry to the
world of work.
The program provides students with an opportunity to:
- develop an awareness and understanding of themselves and their relation-
ships with others.
- clarify their educational options and career alternatives.
The Guidance program at A. Y. Jackson has been developed and planned from the guidance
guideline and an assessment of student, school , parent, and community needs.
The following activities are planned and implemented to assist the Guidance Department
in carrying out their objectives.
- providing feeder school students, parents and staff with information about courses and
planning a successful academic career.
- facilitating the academic, personal and social adjustment of new students by providing
orientation for grade nine students and a study skills workshop.
- ensuring that every student has his or her program of study evaluated and that an
opportunity for modifying program exists.
- providing counselling related to establishing clear career goals.
- providing programs, such as, work experience and co-op education to ensure that
students have an opportunity to reality -test career choices.
- providing an information service to Grades 12 and 13 students who are prospective
community college and university applicants.
- liaising with services available to secondary students in the community and making
information covering these agencies available to all students.
THE LIBRARY PROORAM
The A. Y. Jackson Library is an important resource in the school curriculum. The
teacher librarian works with subject teachers on a team basis to design curriculum units,
involving a variety of resources. Classes are then booked into the library to complete the
resource based learning activity or assignment.
Research and resource skills are incorporated into several courses of study. Grade 9
students participate in a library orientation program in early fall and each grade level is
introduced to specific skills on a cumulative basis.
In addition to the curriculum units offered, there are special program activities,
involving all of the students, throughout the year. Books and Bread, new books and materials,
introduces students to new resources. Guest speakers, computer demonstrations, and films on
particular themes are a few of the other special activities which are presented during the
school year.
-12 --
Library facilities include a reference collection, a reading area, a seminar room for
group work and study carrels for independent study. Books, periodicals, current information
files and non -print resources (microfiche, filmstrips, microfilm, computer software
programs, audio visual kits) may be borrowed on a three-week loan or overnight loan basis.
French books, periodicals and records are also available. Three week loan books are always
due on a Monday. A 25 cent fine is charged for overdue overnight material.
Students are encouraged to use their school library, to develop an interest in reading and
to enjoy learning through libraries. See you in the library!
SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
Special education programs are designed to ensure access by exceptional pupils to an
education based on the goals that underlie education for all students. Special education
programs may be located in one or more of the following settings: the regular classroom, a
resource setting, a self-contained class or a special school. The needs of an individual
exceptional pupil are delineated by an Identification, Placement and Review Committee of the
Board. The five Board areas of exceptionality are behavioural, communicational, intellectual
( including gifted); physical and multiple.
SPECIAL EDUCATION RESOURCE UNIT
Students who require special assistance because of either physical or learning
disabilities can be timetabled into the Resource Unit for one period per day. The resource unit
teacher works with each student on an individual basis, helps provide for any special needs,
and stays in close contact with other teachers to monitor the student's overall progress.
Some students are recommended for the Resource Unit after relevant testing information
has been considered as a result of consultation with parents, teachers, guidance counsellors
and the student. In all cases, permission of the Principal is required to take Resource Unit
Programs. No credit is given for S.E.R.U. as this program is designed to assist students with
basic skills, but is not, in itself, new learning.
SEMESTERIN6
All subjects in Orades 9 and 10 are offered on a September to June basis. in Orades 11,
12 and 13 all subjects are offered on a full semester basis from September to January or
February to June.
The chief advantage of semestering in the senior grades is that students can accumulate
enough credits to graduate in four or four and a half years rather than five. This means that
some students are able to enter the workforce earlier when seeking apprenticeship or
full-time employment. For those proceeding to college or university it allows earlier entry or
up to 7 months in which to earn admission fees. Since semestering is common in universities
and colleges, students have the added advantage of knowing what to expect after high school.
Since A. Y. Jackson is the only secondary school in the western area of Carleton that Is
semestered at the senior level, students in neighbouring schools may be permitted to transfer
to A. Y. Jackson Secondary School subject to the guidelines stated in the following section.

these problems is the essence of urban geography. Students who take this course are
expected to do a major assignment in the area of urban planning. Field observations
and studies of the local area are required.
GWI5A WORLD GEOGRAPHY 5A - Advanced Level
Suggested Prerequisite: GPH3A or GUR4A
Today we are truly living in a global village. More and more the world's mushrooming
population is competing for resources which are dwindling in either quantity or
quality. Air, water, farmland, space, and energy supplies are examples of just a few.
Although worldwide standards of living continue to rise, it is clear that the rich areas
continue to increase their lead over the poorer areas. Worldwide problems such as
overpopulation, food supply, poverty, environmental destruction, threat of nuclear
war and resource depletion clearly point out the need for students, in their final years
of high school education, to understand the significance of being part of a global
society. The aim of this course, therefore, is to make the students aware of the
necessity of stressing people's dependence on each other regardless of their
differences.
