SUMMARY:Intro to University Level Writing
DESCRIPTION:Grade 12 students heading to post-secondary programs in the social sciences\, humanities\, arts\, sciences\, and business will be expected to have the skills necessary to write at the university level next year. However\, the quarter-system and other alternative school schedules have made it difficult for students to develop and hone these skills. \nThis course prepares students bound for post-secondary for the challenges of writing for different disciplines at the university level. It discusses strategies for successful research\, critical thinking\, and writing while giving students a chance to practice these skills and receive individualized feedback. Materials will be provided. \nWhat do students have to say?\n“I liked that the instructor provided good examples for us to fully understand what was expected of us and that there was the perfect balance of freedom to pick a topic but enough structure to help actually get started.” \n**The session will be interactive and dynamic. Students are encouraged to attendall sessions as each day will build on the next.

SUMMARY:Navigating the New Normal (Grade 12's)
DESCRIPTION:Options Solutions has loved being a part of your grade 12 year. We recognize what is traditionally a time for celebration is now a time filled with mixed emotions and uncertainty.With so much unknown\, it is hard for families to make decisions about the future. For our grade 12 students\, there is a certain precariousness about the normal process of selecting a post-secondary institution\, choosing a residence\, and exploring courses for the 20-21 academic year. There is even more stress when we consider that summer jobs/programs/volunteering may all be up in the air. \n  \nAt Options\, we excel at motivating others\, promoting actionable steps\, and mining the good. Join our founder\, Melinda Giampietro\, for an open discussion about the state of post-secondary admission and information about how to help your teen navigate the next few months. We will explore all the possibilities for fall 2020. With her usual optimism and humour\, Melinda will also share practical tips to navigate this non-traditional end to the grade 12 year.There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end. While this discussion is targeted towards grade 12 Options families\, please feel free to pass this link on to all grade 12 families you feel may benefit. \nPlease register here: \nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/500635538384540685 \n  \nComments from our Grade 11 presentation: \n“Melinda put on a terrific session – very informative with good action items\, and being in a bubble\, its nice to know what others are doing out with their grade 11 kids. Thank you for hosting it.” \n“Thank you Melinda for being there for us. Listening to you speak last night was incredibly helpful and reassuring. You armed us with very practical and useful strategies and tips for not just coping\, but on adapting and coming out stronger through a crisis. After we listened to you\, we took our kids through a summary of what you talked about- and discussed what we were doing right\, and what we could do better.”

SUMMARY:ACT/SAT Prep Programs - Mock Exam Sittings
DESCRIPTION:Test prep at Options is unique because it combines test preparation with teaching fundamental academic skills. With many years of experience\, Options instructors ensure that students understand the higher-level reading\, writing and math skills that will prepare them for the ACT and SAT\, but will also help them succeed in high school and beyond. Options doesn’t just teach “test-taking tricks” like other test prep organizations. Instead\, students receive a strong grounding in how the test works and strategies for attaining a high score\, combined with an opportunity to increase their overall academic performance. \nThis option includes a 4-hour exam\, exam marking (including customized essay marking)\, and a 3-hour debrief. Each student is given a cover sheet to help them understand their successes and their areas needing\nimprovement. In order to get an accurate estimate of a student’s abilities\, we use only officially released ACT and SAT exams. This is the best “bang for your buck” prep wise\, and the most crucial element of prep. If the exam\ndates do not work for you\, please contact the office to pick up a copy of the exam. \nDebrief (ACT only) – May 28th\, 5-8 pm
