Southgate District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
The schools in Southgate use the Ontario Curriculum as the guiding framework for teaching and learning. The curriculum establishes the goals for subject area learning and provides a means to create assessments which will measure student achievement. Some assessments students will take are given province-wide in the subjects of reading, writing, and math. These are created to ensure that students are meeting proficiency in foundational subjects. All the subjects are laid out in a similar fashion, but specific to their content, concepts and skills. The grade-level expectations are detailed and the broad expectations for learning are explained.
We currently cover the following Southgate-area school districts: Bluewater District School Board and Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Southgate District Curriculum
In English, the curriculum focuses on the reading, writing, communication, and media analysis aspects of learning. These are taught so that students are able to read across curricular subjects and weigh information in texts and the media. The process of writing is taught over the years, and students are expected to use the language properly while tailoring their writing to various purposes and audiences.
In Math, the broad goals are that students develop abstract and quantitative reasoning and the ability to work methodically on finding precise solutions. This is accomplished through the content in geometry, algebra, and data that students learn over their school years. Students also have a range of newer subject areas they can pursue like full language immersion programs, outdoor education programs, and coursework in high skills, technologically advanced subjects.

Chalk Talk: What to Do When A Teen Talks Back
Teens often want to test boundaries and their independence by talking back to their parents. When they do, parents need to keep a few ideas in mind. Even though they appear to becoming more and more adult, they have not become rational yet. They do not think the same as children or as adults and they feel invulnerable. Parents need to listen to them and help them to see that you are on their side. Back off when they need some time alone, but do not give up. Be subtle. Perhaps write them a note while keeping the dialogue open. Talk in a lower voice. When a parent shouts, the teen will shout in return. Plus remember, the parent is the authority in the house. As such they can set limits and may not always be able to be friends, but they can treat them in a friendly fashion.
