Note: The extended study module may be used only once in a pure or survey course. It is important to record the title of the extended study module on the recordkeeping chart. Record 199A for the first extended study module offered in the course series, 199B for the second extended study module offered, etc.
Suggested time: 5-20 hours
Level: Introductory/Intermediate/Advanced
Evolving social and personal needs of students, advances in technology, and demands to solve current problems require a flexible curriculum that can accommodate new ways and means to support learning in the future. The extended study module is designed to provide schools with an opportunity to meet current and future demands that are not provided for in current modules in the renewed PAA curriculum.
The flexibility of this module allows a school/school division to design one new module per credit to complement or extend the study of pure core and optional modules configured to meet the specific needs of students or the community. The extended study module is designed to extend the content of the pure courses and to offer survey courses beyond the scope of the available selection of PAA modules from the pure courses.
The list of possibilities for topics of study or projects for the extended study module approach is as varied as the imagination of those involved in using the module. These optional extended study module guidelines should be used to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and processes advocated in the Practical and Applied Arts curriculum.
For more information on the guidelines for the Extended Study module see the Practical and Applied Arts Handbook.
