The student may take the college course when it is available and, with the approval of the cooperative education teacher and the workplace supervisor, arrange to complete the in-school class and work placement hours required for the cooperative education credits at alternative times.” (p.9)

1.7 Role of the DC teacher• Minor additional clarifications are provided,

2.1.3 Dual credit based on team-teaching of matched college and

secondary curriculum• Additional clarification on Program Delivery

Approaches– Courses that are paired must have significant overlap. A

college professor or instructor delivers the portion of the course from the college curriculum, and a secondary school teacher delivers the portion contained only in the Ontario curriculum course. The student’s achievement of the content contained in the college course is evaluated by the college professor or instructor according to the standards of the college, and his or her achievement of the content contained in the secondary course is evaluated separately by the secondary school teacher. (p. 10)

How are team-taught college course dual credits recorded in the secondary school’s Student Management System?

1. secondary school course code is used (TTJ4C)

2. dual credit course code is used (TAF4T)

3. both course codes are used; a separate mark for each

4. both course codes are used; one averaged mark
