In 2014, the Pine Creek School Division took on the initiative known as the Teacher Mediated Option (TMO). The Provincial Education Department previously ran TMO and divisions across the province took turns applying it. Tammy Kruse is the TMO Teacher Leader with Pine Creek School Division and explains the division offered to take it on and embrace it. She notes the initiative allows teachers to provide classes to students over the phone. Kruse adds this option of schooling takes the Independent Study Option one step further; as it offers numerous support services. Since taking the initiative over in 2014, the division has been able to provide many courses to smaller schools, or individual students that may not have access to some classes. Classes offered include compulsory courses as well as electives including German, Intro to Drafting, and Power Mechanics. The board, or Consortium Member Divisions include Beautiful Plains, Frontier, Sunrise, and Turtle River. These divisions make approvals on class content amongst many other things. Kruse explains that TMO fills gaps in the education system; In scenarios where classrooms are small, or the infrastructure is no there to support teachers.

"Some students may not be fit for school emotionally, or behaviorally," says Kruse. "They may just do better on their own, and they can call in from anywhere, from home, or a school building."

 Steven Williams is the Principal for Pine Creek school division for Colony Schools & Principal for the T.M.O option for the province. He explains the TMO has seen a 95% average as well as course completion rate. Williams adds the teachers involved with TMO are incredible. He insists, the support they're able to offer allows the TMO to be a success. The TMO teachers often visit students and teachers to assists in areas where students may be struggling. Williams adds they currently provide services to eight school divisions and two independent schools. Both Kruse and Williams are hoping to grow the TOM program by servicing more northern communities in the province; eliminating the need for them to travel far for an education. Currently, the division teaches  124 students in 21 schools via TMO.
