                     HOW WE KNOW WE ARE SUCCEEDING


                            Assessing Student Progress


   Our teachers are open to diversified teaching methods (traditional and individualized) to
    meet student needs.

   Teachers are implementing practical within theory so that students are better able to
    understand and apply the theoretical applications.

   Teachers are always looking for new and innovative ways to improve student success.

   Teachers are giving more tutoring to students (after and before classes, during lunch and
    supper time) to enable them to be more successful in their programs.

   We recognize prior learning (e.g. equivalences for courses previously done relevant to the
    program students are registered in).

   There are more youth registering in our programs and teachers are working with them by
    using both the andragogical and pedagogical approach to help them succeed in their
    programs.

   Through our Volet III exploration programs, the youth sector is able to get a real ‘feel’ for
    our programs and when registering for the programs, are not coming in ‘cold’ which can
    lead to a better success rate.

   We offer diversified programs (PNT, customized training in industry) to meet industry and
    student needs.

   We have a counsellor who can help orient students to a program suited to their needs.
