For more information about implementing work study in schools, see the Work Study Guidelines for the Practical and Applied Arts included in the Practical and Applied Arts Handbook. Teachers need to use or design appropriate learning objectives for this module; for instance, to demonstrate ability to follow a "Training Plan". The training plan for the student should be designed to relate to the objectives of the course modules chosen in collaboration with the cooperating employer. Also see Appendix B in this guide.

Module Overview

Evolving social and personal needs of society, 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 Practical and Applied Arts 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 course modules beyond the scope of the available selection of Practical and Applied Arts 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 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.
