BEFORE YOUR COURSE BEGINS

ROLE OF THE SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHER

The Dual Credit Secondary School teacher is an integral part of all Dual Credit courses.  As an experienced educator s/he may bring a wealth of knowledge about the students participating in the Dual Credit course.

The role of the Secondary School teacher is clearly defined in the Ministry of Education Policy Document (Pages 11-13).

Practically speaking, the Secondary School teacher will be available to support student learning within the program.

Communication between Dual Credit faculty and Secondary School teacher is essential to ensure the success of the students and, ultimately, the program.

ROLE OF FACULTY

Regardless of the delivery location of the Dual Credit course, all faculty are responsible for:

  • assessing all student work including tests, quizzes, projects, etc.
  • ensuring that an updated and accurate Course Outline is submitted for approval to the Program Co-ordinator and that the Course Outline is provided to students
  • ensuring that all course outcomes and objectives identified in the Course Outline are met
  • submitting final grades upon completion of the course
  • checking @flemingcollege.ca email daily throughout the duration of the faculty contract
  • adhering to all Academic Policies & Procedures 

Additionally, all Dual Credit faculty are required to submit a Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Screen and to communicate effectively with the Dual Credit Secondary School teacher.  It is this communication that greatly impacts student success and, ultimately, the success of the program.
