Gr.9+Teacher+Designed+Program

Students who enrol in my **Grade Nine Teacher Designed Program** will find themselves in a "class" with other grade nine students from all over BC. They are provided with books and assignments, a schedule, online and phone support, and regular feedback. This program is a good choice for parents who want their teens to study at home, but don't want to oversee all the details.

Roughly **two-thirds** of the year's work is done on the computer. The school year is divided into quarters and the core subjects are semestered (Math and Socials are completed during the first semester, English and Science during the second). Students regularly send their work to the teacher for assessment, though some work is self-marked. They are given opportunities to interact with other members of the group.

The course is delivered through a Moodle-like program called //Canvas//. (very slick!)


 * Students who succeed in this program have**
 * ready access to a computer in good working condition
 * keyboard skills
 * high speed Internet connection
 * //some// regular, parental oversight
 * independent study skills and motivation
