Securing Your Ministry of Education Curriculum Documents for Fall 2020 ( Year 1 of B.Ed Professional Program)

A number of your required Education classes in our B.Ed Professional Program requires you to have a copy of the Ministry of Education’s standardized Elementary Curriculum Documents, which will serve as textbooks for a number of your courses.  

You can download or print each of the curriculum documents here: http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/elementary/subjects.html

You will also need:

· Special Education in Ontario (k-12) -  http://edu.gov.on.ca/eng/document/policy/os/onschools_2017e.pdf

· Growing Success  -  http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/policyfunding/growSuccess.pdf

·  Learning For All  -  http://edu.gov.on.ca/eng/general/elemsec/speced/LearningforAll2013.pdf

·  Kindergarten Addendum  -  http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/policyfunding/GSKindergartenAddendum2018.pdf

 

If referring to these PDF documents from a PC or laptop doesn't work well for you, you may wish to download these curriculum documents to a USB stick and take them into a local print shop to arrange to print them and have them bound as books, that you can use throughout the year.

These are documents crucial to some of your core courses while completing your B.Ed degree, so it is strongly recommended that you arrange to secure them anytime now, or throughout the balance of the summer - to ensure you are prepared for the first week of classes. 

 

You will find these documents to be an invaluable resource during the program, and as additions to your own Education Resource "Library".

 

UPDATE - How To Request & Pick Up Your Lakehead University Student ID card (during COVID-19)

If you have not yet obtained your LU Student ID Card, please follow the steps below.  

If you are a 2 Year B.Ed program student joining the Lakehead University community as a new student this Fall, this message will be important to you. 

Obtaining your LU Student ID Card by the start of the Fall term is vital to your eligibility to write the September 2020 sitting of the Math Competency Exam and will be required in the event of a face to face placement within one of our partnership school boards.

If you already possess an LU Student ID Card, this process does not apply to you. Your current Student ID Card is all you need.

Once your ID card is ready, you will be sent an email by the Bookstore.  If you have received an email from them, your card will be available for collection from the Heritage Place Campus Security Office* in Orillia, beginning Wednesday 29th July between 12pm and 4pm. Please email Security (orsecure@lakeheadu.ca) on the day you are coming to pick up your student card.

*Lakehead University Orillia
Heritage Place
1 Colborne St. West
Orillia, ON L3V 7X5

- Your ID card is a free card that will be with you for your entire journey here at Lakehead. You do not get a new card each semester or year.
- Should you damage (break, wash, holepunch etc.) or lose (or have stolen) your card, there will be a fee for a replacement card.
- If your card stops working (printing services etc.), we will do what we can to fix it, but if we cannot, we will give you a replacement.

Should you have any questions about the Bookstore please don't hesitate to email us; we are here to help. You can also follow us on Facebook (@LUBookstoreOR) and Instagram (@lubookstoreorillia) and here is a link to our website: https://bookstore.lakeheadu.ca/hours--locations
