Special to The Citizen
A decision by the Avon Maitland
District School Board to isolate
students taking the October, 2003
version of the much-publicized
Grade 10 literacy test is being
given credit for helping them score
well above their counterparts
across Ontario.
Education superintendent
Marjatta Longston, explaining
results to trustees during a regular
meeting Tuesday, May I I, pointed
particularly to . the board's 2003
results among Applied-level Grade
10 students. •
Province-wide, just 49 per cent
of Applied-level students passed
the 2003 version of the Ontario
Secondary School Literacy Test
(OSSLT), which was originally
instituted by the former
Conservative government as a
requirement for high school
graduation. More recently, an
optional literacy course has been
created for students who have
difficulty excelling in a test
environment. but the Avon
Maitland 2003 ,success rate of 68
per cent means a much smaller
proportion of the boards Applied-
level students will have to pursue
that option, compared to province-
wide.
***
Water accounts . deemed
uncollectible in the amount of
$3,775.82 were written off.
Among Academic-level
students, the Avon Maitland
success rate was 95 per cent last
October. compared to 90 per cent
province-wide.
Results compared even more
favourably among 'students from
the Huron-Perth Catholic District
School Board. Ninety-seven per
cent of Huron-Perth's Academic-
level Grade lOs passed the OSSLT
on their first try, while 73 per cent
of Applied-level students achieved
the same result.
Addressing the Avon Maitland
approach to the test, Longston
credited a decision to spend
approximately $40,000 extra on
transportation over the two days of
the test, by bringing only Grades 9
and ,10 students to school in the
morning. "The importance of the
test" was thereby highlighted to
the Grade 10 students,' while the
Grade 9 students took part in
preparatory sessions which helped
them "recognize the importance of
the test for the following year."
Senior students were then
transported to the school for
afternoon classes.
Longston says the Catholic
hoard has contacted her about
copying the Avon Maitland model,
meaning the cost of extra
transportation could he shared next
year.
Area students score
well on literacy test
