Yukon 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.

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.
