18. Quality Reviews
2013-14: 4 schools reviewed. Focus on Alt/CE and DL
schools:
 SD 23 – Kelowna
 SD 33 – Chilliwack
 SD 63 – Saanich (Alt/CE only)
 SD 70 – Port Alberni
 Wide range of high quality blended and on-line
configurations
 More cooperation between neighbourhood and DL
schools
 Ongoing, relevant and timely upgrading of teachers’ skills
and content is a challenge for some

19. Two sample findings
• Planning 10/Applied Digital Communications 11
• An 8 credit course co-taught to a cohort of students in a brick and
mortar school by a DL teacher connecting via video conferencing
suite and a F2F teacher in the school. (SD23)
• Planning 10, PE 10, and others taught to individual Grade
9 students in middle school
• Students supported within timetable in a supervised setting (SD33)

20. Bill 36
• Allows students in K through Grade 12 to
access flexible learning opportunities from
multiple schools
• Grade 10-12 cross enrolment enabled in 2006
• Grade 8 and 9 cross enrolment enabled in
2013
• Consulting how K-Grade 7 cross enrolment
can work

21. $600 Cap to Third Party Provisions
• As of February 15, 2014 a cap of $600 per FTE in grades
K-12 will be implemented for reimbursements to third
party resources and service providers.
