The flexibility of this module allows a school/school division to design one new module per credit to complement or extend the study of existing pure core modules and optional modules. The extended study module is designed to extend the content of the pure courses and to offer survey course modules beyond the scope of the selection of PAA modules.
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, found in the Practical
and Applied Arts Handbook,
should be used to strengthen the knowledge, skills and processes
advocated in the Practical and Applied Arts curriculum in which
the extended study module is used.
It is recommended that a summary of any extended study module be sent to the Regional Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction to establish a resource bank of module topics.
For more information on the extended study module, refer to the
Practical and Applied Arts Handbook.
