Kanata District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
The province of Ontario has developed a curriculum that is used in the public schools of Kanata. The Ontario Curriculum describes the subjects in terms of what skill sets and knowledge areas need to be developed in order for a student to become proficient in a subject. Additionally, the curriculum describes the conceptual foundations that students will gain in each of their core subjects and the types of thinking skills that will be developed through their coursework. The assessments that students take in elementary, middle and secondary school are aligned to the teaching and learning described in the Curriculum. Additionally, through the innovative programs available, each student’s unique needs can be addressed and their areas of interest encouraged.
We currently cover the following Kanata-area school district: Ottawa Carleton District School Board, Ottawa Catholic School Board.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Kanata District Curriculum
In English, students learn how to read critically, drawing key ideas and details out of a text in preparation for a class discussion. When presenting information to others, students learn how to be clear, concise, and draw information from multiple sources to support their opinion. Evaluative skills are acquired as well. Students assess the strength of others’ arguments, evaluating the speaker’s reasoning and point of view. They also apply these lessons to their own writing, and begin to develop techniques to craft both literary and non-fiction writing. They use a process approach that gives them time to brainstorm, draft, edit and revise, and work on the presentation of their final paper.
The 10th grade Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) is aligned to the literacy knowledge that students should have developed during the course of their education, and as literacy skills are critical to future pursuits, the assessment is a requirement of graduating with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Chalk Talk: The Role of Physical Education
Some gym teachers introduce physical education-related vocabulary to their students, as well as teach students what to do to maintain good physical fitness and health. Various sportsmanship skills are emphasized as well. Students learn a number of games and activities, and adhere to engaging in those activities in a manner that is honest and respectful of others. The value of being physically fit, and its relationship to wellness, are covered as well. Students devise short and long-term goals for their health, including physical fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness. The final important thing to remember about gym class is that it provides students with a great deal of physical activity that they may not otherwise receive, especially when recess disappears in the secondary grades; with childhood obesity rates continuing to rise, this is of critical importance.
