Planning Tools:  Secondary


This page houses a selection of secondary resources, 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!

Secondary Curriculum Updates

​NEW Continuous Views
Continuous Views, recently developed by the BCMOE, are available for all areas of learning. These documents capture the progression of Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies, and Content. Depending on the structure of the curriculum in each area, they are for K-9, K-10, or Grades 5-12.  Click here to view.

BC's (and Yukon's) redesigned Grade 8-12 curriculum is finalized and available in pdf, Word and HTML in both English and French.  
Thank you to those Yukon teachers involved in the development work for their help in achieving this significant milestone.

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.
