Through these regular meetings, students form a cohesive group and develop positive feelings about themselves and their roles in the group. They gain insight into their learning values and work toward a unified understanding of their experience in the program. In this course, students learn about the community, and more specifically, about possible career areas through one hundred and twenty-eight hours of volunteer work in one or two community agencies. Students are evaluated on job performance, a journal outlining and reflecting on placement duties and responsibilities, a supervisor's evaluation and a self-evaluation. This course provides an examination of the developmental processes from age six to adolescence.
Emphasis is placed on physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development.
This course is designed to develop the necessary skills in Mathematics to help ensure success in other post-secondary programs that have a math content. Topics include ratio and proportion, elementary algebra, formula manipulation, exponents and radicals, linear equations, quadratic equations and functions, logarithms, trigonometry, and graphing. The student will develop skills in using a scientific calculator to perform multiple operations.
