2015 SUMMER SCHOOL - Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education Opportunities
Cooperative Education is a planned learning experience where students earn
credits towards an OSSD. The program integrates classroom theory with learning
experiences in the community. Students are able to apply, expand and refine
knowledge and skills acquired through a related curriculum course. These
experiences assist students in exploring and preparing for future careers and in
making a successful transition to post-secondary education, apprenticeship or
the workplace.
Cooperative education courses have three parts to them: pre-placement,
integration and experiential learning. It is mandatory for students to attend inschool pre-placement days before the actual work experience begins as well as
school integration days throughout the month of July. Students will complete
an online course component as well as assignments related to curricular
expectations. Due to the condensed nature of the course, it is expected that
students participate daily so that course requirements are fulfilled.
Summer co-op teachers will arrange all work placements for students. Every
effort will be made to accommodate students in placements that are easily
accessible by public transit. SHSM students’ placements will be directly related
to their sector.
