Distance Education at Noble Central School
Our School population of 213 students range from Preschool to Grade 12
Technology
Part of theNCS school culture
• Distance Education has become such an integral part of the fabric of the school we`ve recently moved to a larger space.
• We now occupy the largest room in the school (except the library and gym of course!)
Every Grade 10 student MUST take Distance Education courses – we`ve builtit into their schedule.
How do we use ADLC material?• Students who need
to be on an accelerated program.
• Students with Special Needs.
• Students who need more time and/or help with their courses.
• Students who need to boost their credit total.
• Students who need to boost their average for scholarships.
Why do our students LIKE Distance Ed.?• Lots of course choices
– THEIR CHOICES!• They can have an “off
day” and not have homework.
• They can work on their course at home (and they do).
• They choose a date to write their exam.
• They like to try a little bit of many different 1 credit courses.
• Although students enjoy spares, they get bored and come to the DE Room to register in an course or two.

Knowledge & Employability
Down to the details...• Students have an opportunity to look through courses to help make their
choices.• Before I register a student, they get an opportunity to work on the first few
pages of the course to make sure this is what they want to do. • Students are encouraged to work quietly for at least half of the class period.• Students are permitted to listen to I-Pods during class but not during an
exam.• Attendance is taken and reported to the office.• Lessons with additional parts (small art items, CD’s, etc) are kept together
in ziplock bags or something similar.• It’s important to give a lot of verbal positives – Great mark, Your Multiple
Choice questions were well done, etc.• Circulate the room frequently. Check to see what page/question each
student is on. Stop and ask if they need help.• If a student seems stuck on one page, sit down with them and help find an
answer or two. It’s usually enough to get them started again.
