Planning Tools: Secondary
This page houses a selection of secondaryresources, templates and exemplars to support planning and learning in a standards-based system. The list is not intended to be either comprehensive or authoritative, but rather to give Yukon secondary educators a brief, accessible introduction to available research and resources. Feel free to adapt the resources to suit local needs and contexts. The development of these resources is an iterative process, and the intent is to revise, improve, and expand the resources over time. We welcome anything you would like to share!

Yukon Secondary Units: Developed by Yukon Teachers and Yukon First Nations Elders/Knowledge Keepers
Grade 8-9 Units / Unités de 8e-9e Année
The following three Grade 8/9 cross-curricular units have been developed by Yukon teachers and the Yukon First Nations Curriculum Working Group, to provide samples that integrate Yukon content and Yukon First Nations Ways of Knowing and Doing. We thank these Elders and Knowledge Keepers who collaborated on the development of the units, freely sharing their time, knowledge, wisdom, and ideas. Print copies of these units were given to school administrators for distribution to Grade 8/9 teachers in their schools.

Secondary Curriculum Comparison Guides: Locating Resources in your School
The following curriculum comparison sheets have been created to help Yukon teachers have quick access to what's been removed, what's changed and what is new in each grade. It is our hope that this document will support teachers with a starting point to look for resources when concepts have been redistributed to other grades.
