173 hat is SI? The School-ollege-ork Initiative (SI) was created as part of the Student Success Program in Ontario. It is a co-operative effort between school boards and colleges to assist students in making a seamless transition from secondary school to college through the delivery of dual credit courses. In order to participate in a dual credit, students must fit into one of the three categories below: i. Students deemed to be at-risk of not graduating from secondary school but capable of completing college level work; ii. Students who are are part of a Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program; iii. Students participating in the Ontario Youth pprenticeship Program (OYP) The Eastern Lakeshore Regional Planning Team (ELRPT) coordinates this program for our region. The ELRPT partners consist of five school boards and three colleges: Trillium Lakelands; Durham District; Durham atholic; Kawartha Pine Ridge; Peterborough Victoria Northumberland larington atholic; Durham ollege; Fleming ollege; Loyalist ollege. The mandate of the SI aligns with the government s strategic goals to improve student success in secondary education and increase access to and participation in postsecondary education and training. The overall goal for the Student Success/Learning to 18 strategies is to increase the secondary school graduation rate to 85%. ll student success initiatives, including dual credit learning opportunities made available through SI, help to achieve this goal through a primary focus on those students facing the biggest challenges in graduating. Since its inception in 1997, the SI has funded projects, activities and forums that have focused on providing a seamless transition from secondary school to college by: aligning curriculum between secondary schools and colleges articulating pathways to college and apprenticeship programs for students increasing parent, student and educator awareness about college and apprenticeship options linking teachers in the college and secondary panels through discussion seminars, professional development and exchange and internship opportunities implementing new program options for secondary students by approving dual credit programs. 171
