Summer Learning

LEAD Program
The LEAD Program allows students to Learn, Experiment, Advance and
Demonstrate different approaches to their learning beyond the regular
school year. This is a project based learning program that utilizes
educational technology (iPads, videos, blogs, etc.) and engages students in
experience-based study.
The Program
Each secondary school site develops their program around educational
passions. Both teachers and students have an opportunity to explore their
eagerness for learning. Students have an opportunity to pursue their project
interests while teachers guide their daily lessons around the four core
curricular subject areas of English/Socials or Math/Science. Another key
piece of the program includes Grade 11 & 12 Peer Tutors who mentor the
Grade 8 & 9 students by helping to facilitate the learning environment.
Assessment and Timing
Student work is displayed during a culmination showcase presentation;
parents and community members are invited to experience individual
student projects. Successful Grade 8 & 9 students receive a grade up to C+
and peer tutors receive credit for a Leadership or Peer Tutoring course. Final
assessment is structured around teacher-created rubrics, allowing for
reflection and aligning with the new learning standards. All students are
completing 80 hours of instruction, from July 6-31, 2015
What does each LEAD site need?
40 Grade 8/9 LEAD students enrolled in 2 courses at 2 credits each
10 Grade 11/12 Peer Tutor students enrolled in one course
