Teacher Mediated Option 
​TMO

The Teacher Mediated Option is a synchronous high school remote learning option for Manitoba students with or without robust access to internet connectivity.  Scheduled live classes, and tutorial sessions with teachers, take place on the Zoom platform, either online or by telephone connection.

Pine Creek School Division has been offering highly successful synchronous remote learning since December 2014.  We have a core group of highly skilled teachers with a rich background in building an approach to learning that allows remote students to experience success and know that they will be supported in learning.
Students have a daily schedule that follows a six day cycle similar to other Manitoba high schools.
Our teachers connect with students almost every day. They are able to guide and coach online learners through the process of developing the autonomy to be successful in this learning environment.
Our teachers build community through the live scheduled daily connections and through the opportunity for live discussion with peers.
