1) Identify the four renewed goals of the Ministry of Education.

1. Achieving excellence: The ministry implemented the Child Care and


Early Years Act, expanded licensed child care spaces, increased high
school graduation and EQAO achievement rates, extended teacher
education to two years, initiated the $150 million Technology and
Learning Fund, and provided additional math training for over 6,000
teachers.
2. Ensuring equity: It (the ministry) has increased Aboriginal student self-
identification, introduced innovative programs for children in care,
implemented transition plans for special needs students, launched the
Creating Pathways to Success career planning program, began a new
adult education strategy, and collaborated with diverse partners to
support inclusive teaching and learning.
3. Promoting well-being: It introduced a modern Health and Physical
Education curriculum, appointed Mental Health Leaders in every school
board, and promoted student access to 60 minutes of daily activity, with
nearly 200 schools participating in the Healthy Schools Certification pilot
project.
4. Enhancing public confidence: It launched Experience Ontario to aid
student transitions, approved $1.43 billion for capital projects, allocated
$1.25 billion for school renewal, funded 2,200 parent engagement
initiatives, hosted the annual Parent Involvement Committee
Symposium, initiated 45 experiential learning pilots, and supported the
Premier’s Community Hub Framework implementation.

2) To whom does the Code of Conduct apply in schools?

The code of conduct applies to everyone involved in the publicly funded


school system, including students, parents, volunteers, teachers, early
childhood educators, and other staff members. The code applies in all
situations, including on school property, in virtual learning environments, on
school buses, during school-related events or activities, before and after
school programs, or in any other circumstances that may affect the school
environment.
3) Identify at least three (3) teaching/learning strategies that are suitable for the
Canadian and World Studies programs. Choose one (1) of these strategies and
explain how you would envision an educational assistant supporting a student using
this strategy.

- Big Ideas: The big ideas provide a framework for the overall
expectations and the related concepts of disciplinary thinking. These
ideas represent the enduring understandings that students will carry
forward from their learning, apply across different subjects, and utilize
throughout their lives.
- Framing Questions: Framing questions are broad, overarching queries
connected to the overall expectations and big ideas. Their purpose is to
spark students' critical thinking and prompt them to consider the wider
significance of what they are learning.
- Spatial Skills: Students apply spatial skills and tools to interpret and
create various types of maps and graphs. Developing these skills
enhances their ability to comprehend and analyze visual data,
contributing to their problem-solving abilities.

Strategy Chosen: Spatial Skills


An educational assistant (EA) can support a student’s spatial skills
development by using hands-on tools like rulers and protractors, breaking
down complex maps and graphs into simpler steps for them, and utilizing
technology to make spatial concepts more engaging. Through individualized
assistance, the EA helps build the student’s confidence in analyzing visual
data, enhances problem-solving skills, and connects learning to real-world
applications, ultimately improving the student’s spatial reasoning and
academic success.
