Some of the programs, as is the case for parts of the career programs, are too extensive for one grade level. This necessitates sharing and cooperative planning among teachers. Since informing parents is vital for acceptance and involvement, communication with parents needs to be improved. It is currently being drafted. Assessment of the learning outcomes varies greatly from school to school.
Teachers are unsure how to assess some assignments, such as journals and plans for the future.
More assistance and in-service activities are needed in this critical area. The interviewing and information gathering process will continue with the senior grades and will subsequently include the intermediate and primary grades. These components will form the base of a more comprehensive resource that will include curriculum organizers, specific lesson plans, assessment strategies, reporting alternatives, and a directory of resource people. This constitutes Phase II of this project, and it is hoped that this will be a cooperative venture with the Ministry of Education, Skills and Training. The resultant comprehensive resource is intended to be used in workshops and other in- service activities for teachers and administrators.
