QA14.A333 1991 372.7 NOTE CURRICULAR DOCUMENT FORMAT To provide educators with a comprehensive overview of the Integrated Occupational Program, all IOP curricular documents have adopted the format of combining the Program of Studies and Curriculum Guide into one document. The shaded statements or segments within this document indicate the prescriptive contents of the Program of Studies. All other advice and direction provided aresuggested only. The terminology and format used in this document reflects policy in effect when IOP curriculum development began in 1987. METRICATION POLICY It isthe policy ofAlberta Education that "SI units become the principal system of measurement in the curriculum of the schools in the province". In preparing students for transition to the workplace where imperial/U.S. measurements may still be in use, both SI metric and other units of measurement are addressed in the practical arts/occupational component of the Integrated Occupational Program. The comparison/teaching of metric unitswith other units of measurement should be restricted to those that are relevant to student needs as reflected by common usage in course-related workplaces.
