CRSP - Canadian Restructured School Plan

funded by

The Canadian Restructured School Plan (CRSP) is a project developed and administered by the Canadian Vocational Association and funded by Human Resources Development Canada. Its goal is to explore a different way of organizing learning in secondary schools, using principles of outcome-based education, mastery learning, individualized approaches and flexible structures.

This project was developed over a number of phases.

PHASE I: The Model

PHASE II: The Symposium

PHASE III: The Learner Guide Project, which resulted in a number of finished products, including the Model Learner Guides.
