Greetings,
It's that time of the year again, INSPECTION. For those who don't know, Ontario (as many other-if not all) Canadian offshore schools based internationally are inspected by the their province's respective ministries. In Canada the education system is differentiated to accommodate the learning needs and diverse populations of the Canadian provinces. This means where in a place like BC (as an example), might have a literacy test that holds weight towards their students final grade, Ontario might not. Why? Generally speaking this weighs a lot on the decisions of policymakers and the overall expectations of the universities/colleges that students from that province are generally applying to.
Yes, its a bit of a convuluted situation, I digress. Our school, being an Ontario school, has a yearly inspection where in 2 teachers are selected to brunt the burden of representation for the department. This means, nothing out of the ordinary really other than meeting with the inspector after they observe your class. It doesn't pose much inconvenience but for teachers who might be course content developing to accommodate a group of learners that wasn't as one expected-its uncomfortable to an extent. Where you think you should be and where you think you are in regards to the LRP (long range plan) that will be referenced (as the inspector isn't there to get the full picture of the department or the regiment that your leadership might run) the expectation is that you can speak to your situation confidently and relative conviction (you should generally know the subject and what to look for), if the inspector were to find little old PE/ENG/SOC.SCI. Bono in Calculus and Vectors, there might be questions as I might having them draw circles and make posters or infographics look and sound nice but generally speaking aren't demonstrating the requirements of the course. Sure one can "fake it" (as they say), but at the same time, I guess the expectation is that our leadership wouldn't actively put our department members in such a position-unlike other places I have worked in the past. That being said, the inspector will expect to see the following,
