The Ontario Ministry of Education has released the new documents for 9-12 science.  There are some major changes to the documents, maybe the largest of which is a change in philosophy around assessment and STSE.  There are a lot of preperations going on across the provice to enable teachers to be prepared to implement these new documents in September.

As an ICL – Science & Tech, part of my role is to assist in this rollout.  We’ve been planning with a team for a few months now and we’re are about to start to engage the entire board’s science teachers in the process.  As part of this planning I put together a chart comparing the old and the new.  It’s a PDF and prints up nicely on ledger paper (14X17 I think).  It gives a nice visual overview of the entire curriculum with the individual units in each course.
