Are you a BC high school Core French teacher? BC high school Core French teachers — we have one of the coolest jobs!
However, it can be challenging (if not impossible) to find resources and collaborate with teachers outside of BC. Our teaching context in British Columbia is just so unique.
We do not have grades or percentages for K-9 (we use a proficiency scale). We are also standards-based. Many “standard practices” in education are not allowed in BC (participation marks, 0s for work not handed in, etc). If you are not from BC, please understand that our discussions and resources will be unique due to our context.
And then we get on the Internet and we try to learn from and collaborate with our Canadian or International colleagues. However, there are so many differences in teaching practices that we quickly learn that collaboration is difficult.
Well I’ve got the solution for you – fellow BC high school Core French teacher!
Anyways – I ended up creating a Facebook group where BC teachers can collaborate more closely with one another.
