LifeSkills

Special Education Resource Teacher: Mrs. S. Patterson

Students entering the Lifeskills program at CLC have the option of participating in either a four, five or six year program until they have reached the year of their 21st birthday.

As students progress through their high school program, emphasis will shift from the functional academic program in the earlier years to a total work education program in their later years at the school. Therefore, students in S4, who are anticipating graduation, will be registered in classes at Collège Lorette Collegiate, but will spend the majority of their time at a job site.

  4-6 Year High School Program

• Functional Academics

• Life Skills

• Work Education

The role of the Special Education Resource teacher is to facilitate each student's education at our school, to ensure they have mastered the above skills to the best of their ability and to assist teachers and educational assistants in the student's programs.

The educational assistants at our school work with the students, assisting them when necessary to meet the goals of their individual programs.

Teachers who have Lifeskills students registered in their classes are part of that student's team and are involved in the planning of the individual programs.

Drama/
Théâtre

Théâtre 

Le cours de Théâtre 40S autrefois le cours 20G suit généralement le lignes directrices de seul curriculum développé au Département de l'Education; Drama 10S, 20S, 30S qui n'existe pas en français et qui est daté de quelques années déja. Le cours concentre sur l'interprétation des rôles, la présentation de monologue, la présentation en équipe des textes préparés ainsi que des textes écrits par les élèves. Toutes les présentations sont enrégistrées sur vidéo-cassette afin que l'élève soit capable de faire une auto-évaluation de sa présentation ainsi qu'une évaluation par équipe.

Les élèves sont évalués avec un portfolio dans lequel figurent l'auto-critique, les réflexions de pièces lues, présentées, vues ainsi que tout autre projet relié à la présentation : éclairage, accessoires, effet de la pièce sur le public, etc. L'autre dimension de l'évaluation est l'évaluation du professeur selon la même grille qui sert à l'auto-critique de l'élève. L'évaluation par le professeur se fait soit sur la performance individuelle ou celle du groupe. A la fin du cours, l'élève devra présenté son portfolio avec copie VHS de certaines de ses présentations à un(e) adulte bilingue.

Cette année le cours s'offre annuellement et l'opinion des élèves est conforme sur le fait que le format d'une classe un jour sur deux offre aucune continuité et nuit souvent à l'approfondissement des rôles ainsi qu'à l'intérêt dans le projet. Il reste que le cours demeure un véhicule intéressant et nécessaire dans le contexte d'une langue seconde car il permet de développer la langue parlé d'avantage tout dans un contexte d'un public et ceci sur des sujets souvent reliés au vécu.
