COURSE TEXT:    Parenting: Raising Healthy Children

This course focuses on the skills and knowledge parents, guardians, and caregivers need, with particular emphasis on maternal health, pregnancy, birth, and the early years of human development (birth to six years old). Through study and practical experience, students will learn how to meet the developmental needs of young children, communicate with them, and effectively guide their early behaviour. Students will develop their research skills through investigations related to caregiving and child rearing.

This course focuses on the skills and knowledge needed to promote the positive and healthy nurturing of children, with particular emphasis on the critical importance of the early years to human development. Students will learn how to meet the developmental needs of young children, communicate and discipline effectively, and guide early behaviour. They will have practical experiences with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, and learn skills in researching and investigating questions relating to parenting.

This course reflects the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations by confirming a commitment to Gospel values, and thereby, providing a deeper purpose for knowledge, skills, and applications. To ‘love one another’ lies at the centre of the Gospel and the centre of this course as it applies to the care, nurturing, and love of children. As a Catholic educator, the teacher goes beyond imparting skills and knowledge and assumes an additional responsibility, that is, for the moral and religious development of students.

The course is divided into 4 units and all activities are structured to support and reflect Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations. Each unit has been designed to infuse Catholic beliefs, values, and Church teachings into the content of the curriculum. A common thread that has been woven throughout this course is the importance of being a caring family member and it is appropriate that each unit encourages the development of this value. The Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations are appropriately infused into all units of this course and students have many opportunities to follow these guiding principles as they develop and mature into responsible, active members of the Catholic community.

A final grade is recorded for every course, and a credit is granted and recorded for every course in which the student's grade is 50% or higher. The final grade for each course in Grades 9–12 will be determined as follows:

• Seventy per cent(70%) of the grade will be based on evaluations conducted throughout the course.  This portion of the grade should reflect the student’s most consistent level of achievement
throughout the course, although special consideration should be given to more recent evidence
of achievement .

• Thirty per cent(30%) of the grade will be based on a final evaluation in the form of an examination, performance, essay, and/or other method of evaluation suitable to the course content and administered towards the end of the course.

Within these two areas, marks will be obtained using the four categories specified in the Ontario Curriculum: Canadian and World Studies, Grades 11 and 12 revised 2005.

       Your grade will include an equal assessment of the four strands above as required by the Ontario Curriculum.

       Your term work and baby simulation will represent 70% of your total mark. 

       The remaining 30% will come from the final examination (15%) and a culminating assignment (15%).

      Assignments, tests, presentations and any other summative evaluation will be recorded under the four strands.  Most evaluations will cover all four strands.

      Ability to display the required learning skills (Works Independently, Organization, Teamwork, Work Habits and Initiative) will be assessed through formative evaluations and reported.  Attention to these skills is essential for success in any course.

 The categories of knowledge and skills are described as follows:

<-- PLEASE REFER TO THE STUDENT AGENDA FOR THE COMPLETE EVALUATION POLICY -->

At St. Edmund Campion, our Guidance program will provide students with an understanding of the concepts in the three areas of learning: personal, interpersonal, and career development. Students will gain an understanding of concepts related to lifelong learning, interpersonal relationships, and career planning. They will also develop learning skills, social skills, a sense of social responsibility, and the ability to formulate and pursue educational and career goals.

Individual, academic, and personal counselling are important roles of the Guidance Department. We will provide instruction in Guidance and Career Education through credit courses and individual counselling. Working collectively with students, we will guide them towards graduation and a successful transition to the post secondary challenges of apprenticeship, college, university and the workplace.

Parents/Guardians are encouraged to get involved with their child’s learning and we invite them to contact the Guidance Department with any concerns regarding their child.

SPECIAL SERVICES TEAM

As a member of the school support team, the Social Worker may provide counselling to individual students, groups of students or families with referrals to specialized community resources.

The Social Worker is available to meet with students and their families at school or at their homes. The Social Worker has other assignments with the St. Edmund Campion Family of Schools and, therefore, is not always available at St. Edmund Campion. At times when there is an urgent need to contact the Social Worker, students can contact the school.

CWS introduces the new Non-Profit Specialist High Skills Major

The Canadian and World Studies Department is excited to introduce Non-Profit, the newest addition to the SHSM stable of programs at St. Edmund Campion this year.  Canada is home to the second largest non-profit workforce in the world, with 161,000 different organizations contributing $112 billion to our economy each year. There are 11.8 million volunteers and two million paid employees working in the non-profit sector. Occupations in this sector are wide-ranging with varying education and skill requirements. This program involves our students in community development through a variety of experiential learning and cooperative education experiences working within this sector.  Students will develop skills in the areas of problem solving, analysis, communication, cooperation, ethical values, consciousness, and citizenship.  The non-profit sector offers a range of careers that are dynamic, engaging, and rewarding. Whether in the fields of art, culture, education, law, the environment, information technology, heath care, social development, or sport, countless career paths are available for people who share the sector’s common vision: to makea difference.

Our students have been busy training and receiving certifications such as Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), First Aid, Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) and Customer Service.  As part of the grade 12 Reach Ahead component to the SHSM program, students have expanded their learning experience with trips to both Osgoode Hall and the Toronto Court House.  Students registered in the Non-Profit SHSM must also complete some experiential learning as well, which has been fulfilled this year with the grade 11 Law class trip to the Brampton Court House as well as through participation with the Model UN club and the school’s Mock Bail and Mock Trial teams. Throughout the year, Non-Profit students will also be involved in fundraising for the India Trip, participate in the Count Me In Conference as well as the Youth Making a Difference Conference in addition to attending various seminars and receiving even more certifications in fields such as Conflict Resolution and Leadership.  Our students will continue to foster their knowledge of the importance of community relationships in the Non-Profit capacity/domain and learn essential skills in developing social justice initiatives. 

For more information on the Non-Profit SHSM, visit Campion’s website at dpcdsb.org/CAMPI and click SHSM.

Orientation dates for Semester 2 will be available in January.
