Within the Enhanced Learning Model courses, students and teachers will interact with the course material and all assignments and assessments will be accessed and submitted via Hapara's Workspaces. In order to gain access to the course materials, you will need to be registered in a course or class through your school so that you can have the Workspace for the course shared with you. If you have questions about this process, please arrange a time to talk with your school principal. 

Overview of the ELM

Each section below details the High School courses available in the Enhanced Learning Model (ELM) with a brief description and link to the course overview using the orange button. ​Access to the actual courses is provided after the students are enrolled in Hapara and their teachers can then release course content, assignments and assessments on a group or individual student basis utilizing Google Drive and Hapara.

Important First Step!

Teachers and School Administrators wanting to implement the ELM within their school subjects or program should first review the Implementation Guide that includes instructions and video support. 

Enhanced Learning Model Courses by Subject

Sciences

​Science 10
Science 10 is an integrated academic course designed to help you better understand and apply the concepts and skills common to biology, chemistry, and physics. In addition, Science 10 focuses on the interaction between science, technology and society. It maintains continuity with the Middle School Science Program and students can continue to pursue a general science route or branch into more specific areas in science. Upon passing Science 10, students can enroll in Biology 20, Chemistry 20, Physics 20 and/or Science 20.
​
​Science 14
Science 14 is an introductory level science course that focuses on developing an understanding of matter and energy. As you learn about these two terms you will explore how they are connected to living systems, the environment and their technological uses.
Biology 20
​In this course the outcomes from the Biology 20 curriculum have been divided into major projects to study.  These projects that have been carefully developed with the Biology 20 curriculum outcomes in mind and will serve as the cornerstone of learning and instruction.
​Science 24
Science 24 is a course that relates to students' lives. As you explore different topics in this course you will learn about disease, energy use, safe driving and chemistry.

Biology 30
Bio 30 develops the major concepts of change, diversity, equilibrium, and systems, by looking at various systems of the body, genetics and populations.  Most concepts are related to the human body or the human population making the course relevant and interesting, yet challenging.
Chemistry 20​
Chemistry 30
Chemistry 20 is a challenging course, yet one of the most fun academic courses the science program has to offer. The course includes the study of bonds, gases, solutions, acids & bases, and stoichiometric measurements and calculations. The hope is that this course will spark an interest in science. Many skills will have real world applications for students pursuing chemistry or any science further. ​

Physics 20
Physics 20 is an introduction to many fundamental concepts in physics. This course primarily focuses on kinematics (the science of motion), dynamics (the science of force), and energetics (the science of energy).  We will also discuss the nature, and history, of physics. It is recommended that students have Math 10C as a prerequisite to this course.
Chemistry 30 is an academic course that is intended to spark an interest in science and prepare you for future endeavours in science. The course includes the study of chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry, thermochemistry, and organic chemistry. Much of the knowledge and skills attained in Chemistry 30, will prepare you for a post secondary level chemistry.


Physics 30
Physics 30 is an academic program that helps students to better understand and apply fundamental concepts and skills.  The focus is on helping students understand the physical principles behind the natural events they experience and the technology they use in their daily lives.  The focus of this course is on momentum and impulse, magnetic and electric fields, electromagnetic radiation and atomic physics.

Mathematics

​Math 10C
Mathematics 10C is the starting point for the “-1” course sequence and the “-2” course sequence. Each topic area requires that students develop a conceptual knowledge base and skill set that will be useful to whatever course sequence they choose. Topics include Algebra and Number, Relations and Functions, and Measurement.  Students will be challenged to “think” through problems to work out a reasonable solution that makes sense in the context of the situation.
​Math 10-3
Math 10-3 is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades and for direct entry into the work force.  The main goals are to prepare students to:
- Use mathematics confidently to solve problems
- Communicate and reason mathematically
- Appreciate and value mathematics
- Become mathematically literate adults, using mathematics to contribute to society
Math 20-1
Math 20-1 is an academic math course designed to prepare students for calculus and other university courses. Students will be introduced to many fundamental math skills and will be required to use their reasoning to solve abstract problems.


​
​Math 20-2
Students in Math 20 – 2 will be developing spatial sense and proportional reasoning, number sense and logical reasoning, statistical reasoning, algebraic and graphical reasoning, as well as an appreciation for the role of mathematics in society.  The course also involves collecting and evaluating information, as well as using it to make inferences.
​
​Math 20-3
This purpose of the Math 20-3 program is to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades and for direct entry into the workforce.  It continues on the outcomes from Math 10-3 to get students ready for their live after high school.
​Math 30-1
The purpose of the Math 30 – 1 program is to further investigate the fields of relations and functions, expanding knowledge and skills in trigonometry and being introduced to permutations, combinations and the binomial theorem.  Students should be prepared for university level calculus classes at the conclusion of this course.  
Math 30-2
Math 31
The purpose of the Math 30 – 2 program is to further investigate the fields of relations and functions, logic and reasoning and probability.  Students will achieve this through development of algebraic and graphical reasoning, logical reasoning, and critical thinking skills related to uncertainty.  Students should be prepared for university level non – calculus mathematics classes at the conclusion of this course.
The Mathematics 31 course introduces students to the mathematical methods of calculus. The course provides some of the requirements of the mathematics encountered in post-secondary programs. It builds on existing skills in working with functions and expands this knowledge to include a study of limits in preparation for a study of differential and integral calculus. The methods of calculus you will learn are applied to problems encountered in the areas of science, engineering, business and other fields.
