Curriculum:

The hierarchal design of the One World program:

• Students are admitted to the program regardless of prior experience.
• Levels of experience are accommodated within program through various spaces; lab, rehearsal rooms, mixing suite, studio A, studio B
• Students collaboration across socio-economic, racial, gender etc. is encouraged.
• Encourage students with advanced technical facility (but not creatively proficient) to collaborate with advanced creative (but not technically proficient) students.

Depending on the design and curriculum concentrations employed, One World can be delivered under Ontario Ministry of Education course codes AMM – Music and Computers, AMD – Electronic Music, AMC – Music for Creating or it can be offered as an enhancement to existing music or arts programs

Values:

- One World has a track record and a reputation
- students know what they are getting into
- we spend time examining what has come before
- students in their second year (and graduates) help lead
- anything goes... but positivism and global perspective are integral to the class structure
- negative stuff doesn't get on the school CD/DVD!

Teaching strategies:

- all levels of ability are welcome
- the environment is the great equalizer and most students are beginners when it comes to technology AND creativity
   - 50% of grade is Independant Study Unit (usually the creation of a music album on CD/DVD
   - 25% of grade is assigned creation projects
   - 10% is keyboard proficiency (includes music theory)
   - 10% is journals (these are very important!)
   - 5% is other (opportunity for credit for activities in and out of school)
- Differentiated Instruction, Student Centered, Individualized Attention
