Let’s Go! This workshop will discuss how to ensure dual credit students in off-campus programs participate in a rich on campus experience as well as creating post-secondary pathway awareness through additional hands-on experiences, program information, and career planning

What is a Team Taught Program

… Policy Ministry Policy… Dual credit programs may be delivered in various college or school board locations, as appropriate … Secondary schools College campuses, College skills-training centres, Alternative schools Off campus locations

…more policy A college professor or instructor delivers and evaluates the student for the portion of the course from the college curriculum, Secondary school teacher delivers and evaluates the student for the portion contained in the Ontario curriculum course. College will provide a “Record from the College” for the college course

For team-taught dual credit courses, Ontario secondary school curriculum course codes will be used. The course delivery type must be flagged as “team-taught college course” or “team-taught apprenticeship program” in 7.

Why do we have field trips? Pathways… Dual Credit has successfully transitioned students to post-secondary education by introducing post-secondary education as a pathway to employment and creating awareness of College life and resources that support student retention.
