Attention Grade 7 and 8 Teachers: Registration Now Open for the Upcoming Science Program
The Ned Supplementary Courses Program provides free online supplementary courses to students in First Nation elementary schools. Registration is now open for the upcoming Science course, which is scheduled to begin on April 1, 2011.
Participation is free and easy for both teachers and students. Students are required to access the Internet for three hours per week (scheduled according to your preference). During this time, students work to complete short assignments written for specifically for First Nations schools. All submitted work is marked by a qualified teacher. As the local teacher, your role would be to control student enrollment, monitor their progress and provide academic guidance. Please note that the Ned Program is designed to enrich – not replace – classroom learning through the following goals:
- Improve students’ computer, science, math and literacy skills
- Help prepare students for high school Promote awareness and pride in First Nations identity, events and issues
- Connect students and teachers from First Nations schools across Ontario
