a history of curriculum services canada

called “Clearinghouse of Resource Materials.” No other mention of this name was found.
12. It should be remembered that while people directly involved with curriculum policy,
development, and implementation were wrestling with these issues, most teachers had neither
heard about nor seen the revised common curriculum they would be expected to teach to in
September.
13. OCC had considered applying for ONIP funding in light of its work to help form a
curriculum network in Ontario, but had not done so because research indicated that they would
not qualify.
14. In collecting these materials, several French-language resources were submitted for inclusion
in the catalogue. It was decided that any necessary translation would have to come from
developers as OCC funds were insufficient to cover these costs. In addition, CFORP was to be
consulted for clarification on the inclusion of materials supporting French-as-a-Second-
Language (FSL) curriculum.
15. OCSOA and OSSTA were consulted for the wording of the catalogue tabs.
16. In the Meeting Note prepared for 8 January, long-term sustainability was projected to include
“the solicitation of corporate partners and the provision of consultative services to a number of
public and private sector organizations.”
17. Additional copies of the Transition Years and JK-9 catalogues were made available in
Ontario for $25 and $35 respectively and outside Ontario for $50 and $70. FileMaker Pro
diskette versions were sold to Ontario residents for $5 and to others for $15 (to help recover
development costs). The ONeducation CD-ROM could be purchased for $24.95.
18. There was some concern about the corporate initiative and the Work Group asked if it would
be possible to form a not-for-profit corporation with a charitable arm. They were advised by Ian
Goldberg that this would not work well for OCC.
