EDUC 3610 Lecture : Lecture 1
Document Summary
Legislative hierarchy: education act, regulations, policies, school board politics and procedures. Anything lower on in the hierarchy cannot make decisions that are contradicted by higher levels. Contradictory issues: bill 13 and its views on gay/straight alliances. Registers are important for funding: more students = more money, this also means more fraud, because some people put teachers" names to get more money. Ossr: record from kindergarten until five years after high school, held for fifty-five years. School board policies vs. school policies: uniforms are school policies, school board only requires kids to dress "appropriately", but not particular to specific uniforms. School board level policies are like pa-days and school schedules. First day test: a teacher shall not receive a certificate of qualification and registration unless he/she has passed a qualifying test approved and administered by the minister. False: according to the safe schools act, discipline for infractions must be applied equally to all students without consideration for mitigating factors.
