History

The Personal Futures program was developed originally by Warren Wilson as a Board Authorized and Approved Course for Coast Mountain School District.

The Outline of the course and its objectives can be viewed here.

During the summer Mike Wilson compiled a former program (Portfolio for DE) into a document entitled Transitions, it was intended that this information be used for Personal Futures 12(PF12), however, many of the learning objectives required by PF12, were not addressed directly or in the order as the former transitions. It is my hope (GB) to see the addition of up to date materials and the use of active personal management tools from the internet embedded into the final program.

[|NBCDES] has partnered with [|NCDES] to assist in the development of a robust course.

At the current time the following individuals are active in terms of the work on developing this course.

Grif Peet - An embedded teacher in Fort St. John working on the PF12 program for the district. Cari Hopkins - A secondary teacherat Bear Valley School in Stewart with one block as a facilitator of PF12, CAPP10 and other Distant Education courses. Glen Bowden - Vice Prinicpal of NCDES based in the Hazeltons, responsible for Supporting the use and extension of D2L, teacher of Social Studies 8 among the small consortium of DES and with responsibilities in ensuring that PF12 is developed in a manner that allows for it to be delivered in a online, interactive format.

As we continue I expect to see others may wish to join us in the development of this course.

The WIKI will be used as it will allow easy editing at all times by any member, and the final document can be quickly brought into any management system. I hope that people are comfortable with its use. The discussion page of each page is for discussion around what should or should not be included and I hope to see this used extensively by all of us.
