As the clock struck 8:00 a.m. on a crisp November morning, the Grade 10 students in Angela Schaefer's math class at Huron Heights Secondary School (HHSS) started the day with a parabolic equation or two.
Schaefer's class is an example of the work educators across WRDSB have been doing in support of de-streaming. This is a single stream Grade 10 math class. The students in this class weren't required to choose between an applied or academic level course in Grade 9 or 10, keeping their course options open as they look ahead to Grade 11. This means they will be able to make a more informed decision about what courses they take next year, knowing how the courses they take can support their chosen post-secondary pathway.
