Extended Study - Page 1
The extended study module is designed to provide schools with a flexible curriculum that can accommodate new opportunities.

The key features of extended study:

- designed to provide opportunity to meet demands not accommodated by current modules

- allows one new module per credit to complement or extend the course content

- should be developed from pure PAA curricula

- available to secondary level only

- provide opportunities to evergreen pure courses and to provide more survey options

An extended study module must have its own foundational and learning objectives that allow one or more students to explore a related topic not covered in any of the current PAA curricula. Extended study is not intended as just a means of sending students off to work on their own.

If the "Extended Study" module, the "Work Study Preparation and Follow-up" module and the "Work Study" module are used in the same PAA course, these three modules together must not exceed 40 hours of the 100 hour course.

Extended study modules will be identified as Module 99 for the PAA curriculum in which the module is rooted. For example, an extended study module on Aboriginal Cuisine would be identified as Food Studies 99A - Aboriginal Cuisine. If a school chose to offer an extended study module at a subsequent level, again rooted in Food Studies, it would be identified as Food Studies 99B, followed by a descriptor.

Saskatchewan Learning requests that extended study modules be forwarded to regional office to be considered for inclusion in future PAA courses during renewal.

Additional information on extended study is in the PAA Handbook.
