Co-op: Specialist High Skills Major




The Manufacturing Specialist High Skills Major
(SHSM) is a program at ECI that allows students
to focus on the manufacturing sector by
completing a specific bundle of courses (including
co-op) while earning their diploma.
Successful students earn a Red Seal on their
diploma.
See your guidance counsellor and manufacturing
teacher for more information.
Program specific details are provided in the
Course Calendar.
Co-op: Dual Credits





For students interested in completing a college
credit while they are still in secondary school.
No cost to the student – if you think that college
might be your pathway this is a great way to try it
out.
Students within a 2, 3, or 4 credit co-op course
may be enrolled in a dual credit program (or
students without co-op with permission).
Students attend their college course once per
week (in the afternoon) during their co-op class.
See a co-op teacher or your guidance counsellor
for more information.
e-Learning



ECI is not able to offer all the available Ministry of
Education courses – but students may complete a
course online through TDSB e-Learning
e-Learning courses are considered one of your 4
possible ‘day school’ courses each semester
Usually grade 11 and 12 courses are offered and
often courses that are cancelled at our school are
available through e-Learning
e-Learning (continued)




Examples to consider include grade 12 economics
(CIA4U), earth & space science (SES4U), and
science & society (SNC4M) … etc.
Registration for next year will likely start in May
for both semester 1 and 2 courses
More information can be found online at
www.tdsb.on.ca/elearning
Students should be fairly computer literate and
able to work independently

Using myBlueprint to Select Courses



After you have submitted your selections you will be
asked to confirm and print your ‘Course Selection
Sign-Off Sheet’. This sheet must be signed by a
parent/guardian before you hand it in.
Make sure you have the appropriate teacher initial
any enriched course selections.
There is a place where you can add any special notes
to your guidance counsellor (ie. planning to take a
course in the summer).
Advice from Student Services



attend the Option Fair with a plan to visit four
programs that you need more information about
drop in to speak to a co-op teacher (Ms. Gonya or
Ms. Stapleton) to ask questions about placements
ask your teachers about the courses they teach
and any recommendations they may have for a
course and/or level
More Advice from Student Services
CHOOSE CAREFULLY


research your choices carefully … especially
decisions that may impact your grade 12 course
options
research now … avoid disappointment later as
there may not be opportunities to change options
in September

Individual Pathways Plan (IPP)

Pathways Plan (IPP) using the following four areas of
learning:






