LEARNING SKILLS AND HOMEWORK EXPECTATIONS:
Learning Skills: The development and demonstration of strong, effective learning skills are critical to each student’s achievement of curriculum expectations. As well, positive learning skills are essential for personal success in the workplace and post secondary endeavours. The assessment and evaluation of students’ learning skills are outlined in the CCSS Learning Skills Rubric (located in the CCSS student agenda book and posted in all classrooms) and will be recorded on the provincial report card for each student. Learning skills will be reported separately from percentage grades. Learning skills include the following:
Work Habits Organization Initiative Teamwork Ability to work independently
Homework: At the Grades 9-12 levels, homework assignments are considered an essential component of student learning. Homework assignments incorporate a wide variety of activities and involve the reinforcement, application and extension of concepts taught as well as the study of new concepts. As such, the completion of assigned work (both in-class and homework) is very important to the student’s demonstration and successful achievement of course expectations.
