  • 1. Teacher-advisors take an active role in the goal setting and monitoring of student progress. In getting to know their advisees’ needs, interests and academic and personal history, the teacher advisor becomes a student advocate.
  • 2. Subject area specialists develop learning guides which are the first level of engagement between students and the content of the subject areas. Learning guides lay out suggested learning activities in which students may become involved in order to meet course objectives.

      Parent and community volunteers?
  • the student learns how to learn.
  • there is no master schedule. Instead the teacher advisors and students, in consultation with the parents, design a schedule that meets the student’s unique interests and needs.
  • The teacher advisor of these students is charged with the responsibility of helping them balance their out-of school commitments with in-school expectations to facilitate a successful realization of all of their goals.
  • Individualized control of their learning keeps them accountable for their learning. However, the input of the teacher advisor in the construction of the schedule gives the student the security that the process is overseen by someone who really cares. 
  • Independent study and individualized instruction are strengthened through continuous progress. Simply put, continuous progress insures that students have open access to all learning activities at any time throughout their high school career.

      ... but "no pace" is not a pace! :)
  • continuous progress insures that students remain in constant contact with all areas of study throughout their high school career. There is power in learning the connectedness of the various disciplines.
  • Teacher advisors work with their students to plan progress through all of their course at all times.

    Teacher advisors are given considerable time in their regularly scheduled day to fulfil their role. Teachers, on average, spend about one and one-half hours in their individual offices meeting with their advisees

    A walk through the new Inquiry Hub in Coquitlam is a bit like walking into a school of the future even through it's located in historic Maillardville and the school is more than 100 years old. There are few desks, and those there are on wheels. Project tables line walls topped with with fish tanks and bits of other projects, and kids sit together or work alone on laptop computers while listening to music on headphones. While Inquiry Hub isn't for everyone, it is worth exploring for any student who is looking for a more self-directed style of learning.
