Course Work & Learning Materials - Week by Week
Please note that any materials that can be posted online (based on copyright permissions) will be posted/linked on this page.
This will include learning materials accessed digitally in the classroom, deadlines, assignments and supplementary / support materials.
If a student misses time/classes, they are expected to access their work on this site. Each student is responsible for catching up on missed work, for submitting work to the instructor and for making arrangements to do so. Most of the work is done in the classroom and relies heavily on supplemental videos and class discussions.
Missed assignments or assignments which students wish to redo because they'd like an opportunity to improve their level of achievement must be co-ordinated with the instructor using the Application to Resubmit process.
If there is limited access from home or the location in which a student will be spending time, students will need to use access when they are back at school in Lunch Labs, after school or on breaks, or access resources available through services like the Whitehorse Public Library, Skookum Jim Friendship Centre's After School Tutoring Program, the Kwanlin Dün Kenädän Ku House of Learning, and/or other available community resources.

Opening the Semester
For the first two weeks of classes, we focused on reviewing expectations for our classroom learning community - in detail, with examples.
Classroom expectations are based on the Annishnabe 7 Grandfather Teachings, which I have reviewed with Yukon Elders to ensure that they are compatible with local First Nations values, and ways of knowing and doing.
For detailed information please see the link to the Prezi slide show below and the tab on the landing page of this site entitled Classroom Expectations and Code of Conduct.
For expectations for all Porter Creek Secondary School students, please click on the labeled button below.
