Class Design 10
Class Design 10 provides a personalized learning pathway for students to develop their own class. It is to be provided in conjunction with an academic course. Students will be expected to collectively work in an ongoing basis with both the Class Design 10 teacher and academic course teacher. As the course proceeds, students work through an iterative design cycle in which they develop critical thinking and problem solving skills while completing the unique challenges presented by their course.
Teacher's interactions with students in the Class Design 10 will be more personalized and less didactic. Students will need to be actively involved in knowledge acquisition and construction as they participate in and evaluate their own learning. It is recommended that teachers use one-on-one interactions whether face-to-face or via a telecommunication application to provide the unique support required for this learning process.
The Class Design 10 course is designed to be taken in conjunction with another secondary academic course. For online delivery, it would be recommended that students complete Online Learning Strategies as a pre-requiste.
