TEPPERMAN FAMILY SCHOLARSHIP GIVEAWAY

In September of 1998, the Tepperman family, on behalf of our staff, launched a scholarship program aimed at supporting children's education in Southwestern Ontario. 

Every month, Tepperman’s draws two random winners from the entrants and gives away a $1,000 scholarship towards the winners' post-secondary education. That’s an investment of $24,000 per year into the program.

No purchase is necessary.

TO DATE MORE THAN $600,000 HAS BEEN INVESTED IN THE CANADIAN SCHOLARSHIP TRUST REGISTERED EDUCATION SAVINGS PLAN.

The scholarship will be invested in a Registered Education Scholarship Trust Plan, which will keep increasing in value through the years until it is put to use for higher education.

Every month you can enter your child, 15 years or younger, for their chance to win a $1,000 scholarship. This is only one of the ways the Tepperman family has chosen to give back to the communities that support us.

Ballots can be completed using the link to the form below.

Ontario Preparing Students for Jobs of the Future

The Ontario government is implementing a new high school graduation requirement to help better prepare students across our province for the jobs of tomorrow. Starting with students entering Grade 9 in September 2024, all students will now be required to earn a Grade 9 or 10 Technological Education credit as part of their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education said "By requiring students to take at least one Technological Education credit in high school, we are opening up doors and creating new pathways to good jobs in STEM and the skilled trades. All students will benefit from a greater emphasis on hands-on learning experiences and technical skills in the classroom so they can graduate with a competitive advantage in this country."

This new learning graduation requirement will expose Ontario’s students to at least one Technological Education course that could guide them to a future career in the highly skilled workforce, including the skilled trades. With more than 100,000 unfilled skilled trades jobs right now, it is critical Ontario attracts more young people to pursue a fulfilling, good-paying career in the trades.

The Technological Education curriculum covers a broad range of sectors, including construction, transportation, manufacturing, computer technology, hospitality and communication. In Ontario, men make up more than 70 per cent of workers in trades-related occupations. The exposure to these career pathways as a mandatory graduation curriculum requirement will ensure more young women make the choice to pursue a career in the trades.

This new graduation requirement builds upon other actions taken by the government to bolster its Skilled Trades Strategy, including developing an accelerated Grade 11 to apprenticeship pathway for students to get into the skilled trades faster.

“Ontario is facing the largest labour shortage in a generation, which means when you have a career in the skilled trades, you have a career for life,” said Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. “That’s why our government is taking an all-hands-on deck approach to attract and train our next generation of skilled trades workers for better jobs and bigger paycheques for themselves and their families.”

English As a Second Language and English Literacy Development Overview

Students in any grade may be placed in appropriate ESL or ELD courses. Since many ESL/ELD classes include students aged between fourteen and eighteen, the topics and activities must be selected to appeal to a wide range of ages and maturity levels. There are five ESL courses and four ELD courses. The courses are designated according to levels of proficiency in English and literacy development, not by grade.

Working within the framework of the Education Act and its regulations, district school boards adapt provincial education policy to local situations. They must also provide and maintain within their jurisdiction adequate teaching and support staff and appropriate facilities. Trustees, as elected members of the board, represent the local community, providing a link between electors and the education system.

Private schools also provide elementary and secondary education. They are independently operated and do not receive funding from the government.

In Ontario, all permanent residents between the ages of 6 and 16 must attend school. Elementary schools provide Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten programs (for children aged 4 and 5) and programs for grades 1 through 8. Secondary schools currently offer programs from Grade 9 through to Grade 12, as well as Ontario Academic Courses (OACs). To receive an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, students need to complete at least thirty credits in secondary school (one credit is normally one course). Students planning to attend university can include the required six Ontario Academic Courses in these thirty credits. The new standards for education were introduced during 1999 in high schools across Ontario.

The credit system consists of:
Compulsory Credits (total of 18)
4 credits in English (1 credit per grade)
1 credit in French as a second language
3 credits in mathematics (at least 1 credit in Grade 11 or 12)
2 credits in science
1 credit in Canadian history
1 credit in Canadian geography
1 credit in the arts (music, art, drama, or dance)
1 credit in health and physical education
1/2 credit in civics and 1/2 credit in career studies
1 additional credit in English, or a third language, or a social science, or Canadian and world studies

1 additional credit in health and physical education, or business studies, or the arts (music, art, drama, or dance)

1 additional credit in science (Grade 11 or 12) or technological education(Grades 9-12)

In addition to the 18 compulsory credits, students have to earn 12 optional credits in courses of their choice, selected from the full list of courses available in the school. Optional credits allow students to build an educational program that suits their individual interests and meets university, college, apprenticeship, or work requirements.

Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test
Students will take the Secondary School Literacy Test in Grade 10. Students must pass the test in order to graduate, and their result is recorded on their student transcript. Students who do not complete the test successfully will receive remedial help to prepare them for retesting. The literacy test requirement is additional to the 30 credits needed for a high school diploma. The literacy test evaluates students' reading and writing skills based on curriculum expectations in language and communications up to and including Grade 9. ESL students will take the test only when they have reached this level in their language studies. Accommodations will be made for students in special education programs.

80 Ontario High Schools improve in Math

This year's report card finds that 37 high schools in Ontario have shown statistically significant improvement over the last four years in Grade 9 academic math and 47 schools have improved in applied math.

The Report Card helps parents choose Where parents can choose among several schools for their children, the Report Card provides a valuable tool for making a decision. Because it makes comparisons easy, it alerts parents to those nearby schools that appear to have more effective academic programs.

 Some schools do better than others. To improve a school, one must believe that improvement is achievable. This Report Card, like other report cards from the Fraser Institute, provides evidence about what can be accomplished. It demonstrates clearly that even when we take into account factors such as the students’ family background—which some believe dictate the degree of academic success that students can enjoy in school—some schools do better than others.

Updated Ontario Curriculum

The goal of Ontario secondary schools is to support high-quality learning while giving individual students the opportunity to choose programs that suit their skills and interests. 

The updated Ontario curriculum, in combination with a broader range of learning options outside traditional classroom instruction, will enable students to better customize their high school education and improve their prospects for success in school and in life.

The revised curriculum recognizes that, today and in the future, students need to be critically literate in order to synthesize information, make informed decisions, communicate effectively, and thrive in an ever-changing global community. 

It is important that students be connected to the curriculum; that they see themselves in what is taught, how it is taught, and how it applies to the world at large. 

The curriculum recognizes that the needs of learners are diverse, and helps all learners develop the knowledge, skills, and perspectives they need to be informed, productive, caring, responsible, healthy, and active citizens in their own communities and in the world.

Calgary Public schools face 324 Job Cuts

The interesting part of this story is the revelation that the Calgary school board spends a significantly higher percentage of the school board budget on the top officials and school board administrators and less on the actual teachers who teach the students.

A Calgary Herald analysis found that the Calgary school board could save $10.5 million if it spent as little on administration as the most frugal of its Alberta counterparts.

The huge rent for the fancy new Calgary School board building is just one of the problems that the Calgary school board created for itself.

High School should Educate Students

"Ontario high schools will be able to provide every student with an education advantage," said Premier McGuinty.

The McGuinty government made a commitment to improve student success by setting graduation targets. By 2010, Ontario will graduate 85 per cent of its students, up from just 68 per cent when the McGuinty government took office.

Phase three of the Student Success Strategy will:

Add a new Specialist High-Skills Major to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma that will allow students to complete a minimum bundle of courses in specific high-skills areas such as arts, business, information technology, and construction and manufacturing

Introduce legislation that would, if passed, require students to keep learning in a classroom, apprenticeship or workplace training program until age 18 or until they graduate

Expand cooperative education programs through increased partnerships with business and community organizations

Create new dual-credit programs to allow students to earn several credits toward an Ontario Secondary School Diploma through college, apprenticeship and university courses.

Introduce a new coordinated effort and formal links between high schools and postsecondary destinations to help students reach higher.

"For too long, high schools have struggled to help students reach their potential through a one-size-fits-all model," said Kathleen Wynne.

"We want our province to succeed and for that to happen, we need our people to succeed - so dropping out when you turn 16 should not be an option," said Premier McGuinty.
