Dinah Kavik has students who \u201cdecide to return or not to return to the same course year after\u00a0year.\u201d Would these students benefit if high school courses at Nuiyak School were\u00a0modularized? Choosing different approaches for different groups, Dinah used individual\u00a0interviews, a questionnaire and focus groups to gather opinions from 3 parents, 4 teachers, 7\u00a0high school students and 3 students who had dropped out of high school. Most, she\u00a0concluded, believed that modularization would help the majority of students, though\u00a0exceptions need to be recognized. She identified four other components: better information\u00a0for parents and students; adequate resources for Inuttitut courses; a school year reflecting the\u00a0seasons; use of age-appropriate learning stages as in the Inuit tradition. Modularization and\u00a0other changes require work and commitment from educators but we must not forget \u201cit is the\u00a0students we work for.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
