Overview
Beginning this year, Ontario district school boards and school area boards are required to generate student information on 7 "Key indicators of Success" as described by the Ministry. These indicators have been identified through studies on the double cohort and previous results on the Literacy component required for graduation.
The Annual Action Plan report option in Maplewood will generate information required for the 7 "Key indicators of Success" area that will assist you in completing the report in its entirety.
All credits achieved are included in indicator 1. Previously only courses that were completed in the school year were included.
Enhancements: Changes to this years Annual Action Plan
General
This report must be run prior to Transferring to Current.
All decimals have been rounded. This may account for an apparent discrepancy in the percentage columns.
Indicator 1
Courses completed at another regular day school are to be included, however, night school, summer school and correspondence courses are not to be included.
The indicator now encompasses non credit courses, including "K" courses.
The grade level is based on the Student's grade, nothing else.
A student achieving 0 credits will not be included in the report .
Indicator 2
The count date is for students registered on June 30th.
In each grade level, it includes any and all students who took a compulsory course in the specified level. For example, a grade eleven student taking grade nine applied math (MAT1P) would be included in the count.
Indicator 3
By definition:
Method 1 - Includes all Eligible First Time literacy test writers
Method 2 - Those eligible first time literacy test writers who actually wrote the test.
(This will include students who have Not Applicable and a Non-Participation Status of Deferred or Exempt)
- Students who have Not Applicable, without a Non-Participation Status are NOT included in either method nor in the report as this data is inaccurate (incomplete).
Indicators 4 & 5
- For the 'Multi' type courses (Multi-section, Multi-grade, etc), the program looks for the same teacher, schedule and room. The actual Maplewood Grouping flag is not regarded.
Indicator 7
- Regarding Coop Courses, the report only includes the Guidance and Career Education Coops sited on the report. The program looks for the course code.
Indicator 8
- We are able to provide the numbers for the first column, "Day Students Registered on Oct. 31/04. It is likely, we have been told, that the schools will have to run the report again in October to have the other two columns populated as the required statistics are not available at this time.
Dual Credit/SHSM Report and IEP - The program includes students under the IEP row if the student meets the following criteria:
-Student has Special Ed - Yes (enrolment tab) Active (Spec Ed Tab) Placement and Placement Date (Spec. Ed Tab) Exceptionality is no longer a requirement.
