= Welcome to the Chinook Health Group Wiki!=

The main purpose of this page is to make teaching materials readily available to teachers in the Chinook School Division. By sharing ideas and resources, we can all excel in our teaching practice. Hopefully over time, we can develop a variety of unit plans, lessons, assignments, projects, and notes all relating to the new curriculum. If you have any files you would like to see uploaded to the site, e-mail me at jhume@chinooksd.ca and I will get them up here!

Here is a unit planning template to help out with putting together units based on the backwards design process we have worked through last year. It is filled out with a grade 6 unit on HIV/Hep. C. You can keep the headings and edit the unit-specific information to fit the unit you are working on.
