Career Studies

Teacher-led online instruction through Google Classroom, with sequenced modules, pathway research, financial-literacy learning, career-planning activities, weekly milestones, scheduled teacher contact, and direct feedback.

Minimum 55 scheduled hours for this Ministry-developed half-credit course. Hours include teacher-student interaction and assigned individual or group learning activities tied to curriculum expectations; homework is excluded. COLA will maintain a course-hour plan and student activity log.

Attendance is recorded for each scheduled course week. Verified access or participation in planned learning from Monday to Friday is recorded as present; no participation is recorded as absent. The 15% component also evaluates participation using the Ministry rubric. Excused absences do not reduce the mark.

65% course work completed throughout the course, 15% attendance and participation, and 20% mandatory final evaluation. A final mark of at least 50% is required to earn the half-credit. Homework is not included in the mark or counted as scheduled instructional time.

5% Ministry financial-literacy modules and assessment questions, plus a 15% culminating task. GLC2O is not subject to a separate mandatory written final exam. Students subject to the graduation requirement must achieve at least 70% on the Ministry modules and receive two in-course attempts; the highest attempt is used.

The financial-literacy assessment will be administered under staff supervision with identity and attempt records. The culminating task will use authenticated submissions and an oral conference or presentation where appropriate. Accommodations will be documented without changing curriculum expectations.

Computer or supported tablet, stable internet, webcam, and microphone. Students use an individually verified Google account approved for course access. Account ownership, privacy, identity verification and acceptable-use requirements are documented during enrolment.

Scheduled live teacher office hours, direct Google Classroom feedback, financial-literacy support, asynchronous messaging, and individual conferencing by appointment.
