NOTICE Change of Office Hours Now open Wednesdasy after- noon in addition to regular hours Exeter Animal Hospital W.G. Balsdon, D.V.M. Phone 235-2662 for appointment Curriculum document on AIDS is released The Ministry of Education has released a draft curriculum docu- Big year ends for co-op plan The Co-operative Education pro- gram, which began modestly in 1982 with 12 students from Strathroy D.C.I., has burgeoned this year to en- compass all five Middlesex county high schools and included 120 students. lligh school students must be at least 16 .years old and have a minimum of 16 credits before par- ticipating in Co-operative Education. The program allows them to receive school credits for the work they per- form in career -related, past -time jobs at commercial, industrial and service businesses. Following job interviews, students and employers are 'cooperatively' matched according to their needs and interests. Before joining the Co-op program, students usually have some credits in career -related courses. For example, a student who wants to become a nurse would already have credits in Family Studies or a student who plans on becoming an accountant would have credits in accounting. These students spend a half day in classes and the other half with the employer observing and learning on the job. At the end of a five month session ( September to late January or February to late June) the student earns two credits for the work ex- perience which are applied towards a secondary school diploma. Larry Traxler, the Board's Co- operative Education Coordinator, sees Co-operative Education as a very positive experience. "Students gain career -related work experience and marketable skills. They learn how to operate or observe the latest, most advanced equipment. They also develop their interpersonal skills. 'l'hey tend to mature and blossom at a faster pace because they are ex- pected to perform on the job as if they were regular employees." Teachers like the program because it gives them more contacts with the business community and it allows them to learn more about -the needs of business. Employers in turn welcome the opporunity to find out more about what students are learn- ing in the classroom and they, of course, benefit from the actual work that students complete on their behalf. The program also enables employers to assess the students as potential, permanent employees. In fact, says Traxler, at least 25 percent of Co-operative Education students go on to work full-time or part-time for the same employer. ment that will form the basis of AIDS education in Ontario Schools this fall. The draft document will be cir- culated to teachers and school ad- ministrators during June for valida- tion and response. Comments and suggestions will be incorporated into 'a final document, which will be distributed to schools in the fall. This will allow introduction of AIDS educa- tion programs early in the new school year. This document will be distributed to teachers of students in grades seven and eight and secondary school. It will help teachers develop teaching strategies to inform students of the disease and to make students aware of ways in which it is transmitted and can be prevented. "The challenge facing Ontario is to educate ourselves and our children about the risks of AIDS. It is up to us, as parents, educators, and communi- ty leaders to give young people the in- formation required to make respon- sible decisions about health matters and to avoid the AIDS virus," said Education Minister Sean Conway. "If we act now, we can save lives. If we teach our children to • make responsible decisions, we will save lives." The draft document is divided into four main sections: some facts about AIDS; general teaching strategies; teaching strategies fur grades seven and eight; and teaching strategies for secondary school grades. The sug- gested strategies in the document give teachers the flexibility to design instructional programs dealing with AIDS that are suitable for various grade levels and respond to local needs. The document stresses that parents must be made aware of the general content and purpose of the program and suggests that school ad- ministrators consider involving parents in a course covering the same subject matter as the one given to their children. - AIDS education will be a man- datory unit of study in the health education program for students in grades seven and eight and those in the secondary school health education program. Parents or guardians_of a student. or a student who is 18 years of age or older, who believe any component o1 a physical or health education pro- gram is in conflict with their beliefs may apply for an exemption from such a component and it will be granted. Copies of the document are available by contacting the Ministry's Communication Services Branch at (416)965-1130.
