​What is the off-site experiential learning policy?

The purpose of this policy is to:
  1. Enable and encourage off-site experiential learning in order to engage students in the learning process and deliver curriculum in a more culturally relevant and complete way.
  2. Provide guidelines for all activities taking place off school grounds to staff, school administrators, superintendents and directors of education, and School Councils and School Boards who plan and approve off-site experiential learning trips.
  3. Promote safety and effective risk management as a paramount component of off­ site experiential learning trip planning and approval.
  4. Encourage the review and evaluation of off-site experiential learning activities.

What are the activity standards?  

Activity standards are appendixes to the off-site experiential learning policy. Follow the associated activity standards while leading your school outing.  

These documents outline the minimum standards that staff, contractors and volunteers must follow. Sometimes off-site trips need extra considerations.  These trips are assessed on a case-by-case basis. 
The activity standards are now available on the open government portal. Open.yukon.ca houses a collection of publications by
Yukon government departments.
