2020-2021 COURSE SELECTION GUIDE in the Coming Weeks 2020-2021 COURSE SELECTION GUIDE Dear Parents ~ Welcome to Shawnigan! In the coming weeks, incoming students for grades 8 through 12 will begin the course selection process for the 2020-2021 school year. The online version of the course selection form will be used by our office to support accuracy, parental involvement and communication among all those involved as we attempt to find the best courses for each individual student. The Academic Office can be contacted in a variety of ways, but for specific course selection questions and to submit your choices, please email [email protected]. To get full course descriptions of the BC curriculum that Shawnigan delivers, please see the curriculum documents on the curriculum.gov.bc.ca website. For descriptions of our AP courses, please visit the apstudent.collegeboard.org website. How the process will work: • Please use this document to inform your course selection. • Please send your choices to [email protected] within the next two weeks. • For all grades, the attached information should answer most questions. • For some grades, there are prescribed courses that all students take, while in others, there are many choices including Honours (denoted with a *) and AP level classes. • It is important that you and your child have the correct information when choosing classes. While changes to courses are possible at a later date, the timetable is staffed and built based on student requests. So we ask that course selection be completed with the intent of staying with the courses chosen. • You will notice that there is no Social Studies 11 course listed. With the Ministry of Education removing SS11 as a required course, and instead indicating that a grade 11 OR grade 12 course is required for graduation, we will only be teaching grade 12 and AP level courses in Social Studies which can be taken by both grade 11 and 12 students. • If your child is entering grade 11 or 12, the Guidance Office is available to help with course selection and post-secondary questions - please contact [email protected] with your questions. • To help inform us as to which courses your child should be taking, please ensure Admissions has the most recent copy of your child’s report card on file. As well, we will need a transcript or report cards that show academic results for the last two years. Please take time to read the following very carefully, and contact the Academic Office if you have any questions. Please either email us the list of requested courses, or circle and scan back choices on this document or the accompanying chart. Warm regards, Wendy A.

  • Interpreting the Fraser Institute Ranking of Secondary Schools in British Columbia
    INTERPRETING THE FRASER INSTITUTE RANKING OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF HOW THE MECHANICS OF SYMBOLIC CAPITAL MOBILIZATION SHAPES, MANAGES, AND AMPLIFIES VISIBILITY ASYMMETRIES BETWEEN SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS by Michael John Simmonds M.Ed., Columbia University, 1998 M.A., McGill University, 1991 Diploma in Secondary Science Education, McGill University, 1989 B.P.E., University of New Brunswick, 1985 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF EDUCATION in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Educational Leadership and Policy) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) February 2012 © Michael John Simmonds, 2012 Abstract In the discourse on how to improve British Columbia’s secondary schools two prevailing epistemological tensions exist between two competing rationalities: (1) an instrumental rationality that privileges sense-making born out of data-gathering, and (2) a values- rationality that is discernibly more context-dependent. The seeds for public discord are sown when a particular kind of logic for capturing the complexity of any problematic is privileged over a competing (counter) logic attempting to do the same thing. The Fraser Institute proposes to the public a particular vision on how to improve secondary schools by manufacturing annual school report cards that are published in newspapers and online. Proponents of school report cards believe that school improvement is predicated on measurement, competition, market-driven reform initiatives, and choice. They support the strategies and techniques used by the Fraser Institute to demarcate the limits and boundaries of exemplary educational practice. Critics of school report cards object to the way ranking rubrics highlight and amplify differences that exist between schools.

This handbook will help you and your rower through the first year. Green Lake Crew has a long and proud history of excellence that began in 1948 and has evolved into a nationally recognized competitive rowing powerhouse. Green Lake is consistently compet- itive at the NW Regional Championship Regatta and is often represented at the USRowing Junior Invitational regatta finals. Many Green Lake rowers go on to row in college and several have competed at National and Olympic levels. Don’t be scared away by this high level of achieve- ment. Anyone is welcome, everyone is encouraged, and all will row at Green Lake. The more you know about the program, the more enthusiastic you will become. Green Lake Crew is a sponsored program of the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department. The City provides the facilities and pays the office staff and a few of the junior coaches. The Rowing Advisory Council (RAC) provides boats, equipment, supplies, and most coaching salaries. The RAC is a group of volunteers (parents and adult rowers) who are dedicated to Green Lake Crew’s continued success. Green Lake junior rowers come from all over the greater Seattle area and range in age from 13 to 18.
