This collection houses resources that support teachers in implementing research and evidence-based practices in the instruction of reading. This collection is being added to and developed and is a "work in progress!"  Please continue to check back as we add more resources and links!

Sciences et Avenir : le journalisme scientifique comme ADN
Il est dédié à la diffusion d'informations scientifiquement vérifiées, c'est-à-dire issues de recherches menées par des experts et validées par la révision par les pairs. Objectifs et impartiaux, nos papiers sont écrits dans une perspective : permettre de décrypter un monde complexe où la science et la technologie occupent une place de plus en plus prépondérante. Dans un contexte où prolifèrent les “fake news” et les manipulations, notre équipe assume, avec engouement, une mission de service public en rendant la science accessible à tous.

Much like El Nino, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) varies in a rhythmic pattern from decade to decade. The NAO is the relationship between a high-pressure system over the Azores Islands and a low-pressure system over Iceland. This site uses text, photographs, and maps to explain what the NAO is and how it affects weather in Europe, the United States, and as far away as the Middle East.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate a secant to a circle. (not trig). The applet shows a circle and a secant line. The points where the secant cross the circle are both draggable. As you drag each, the secant line moves. If you carefully make the two points coincide, it shows a message that this is now a tangent line. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate a sector - a pie shaped part of a circle. The applet shows a sector against the background of the circle of which it is part. The endpoints of the arc defining it can be dragged and the calculation of the area of the sector is updated continuously. The web page has links to related definitions, and a formula for the area of the sector given its central angle. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

Visitors to this site can view satellite imagery and read an account of how remote sensing was employed to evaluate the extent of flooding and sediment load in rivers on the coastal plain of North Carolina as a result of Hurricane Floyd in September, 1999. This feature is part of NASA's Earth Observatory, a publication that focuses on Earth's climate and environmental change.

The document below is quick access to important PD links that will support you with your use of Seesaw as an assessment tool. 

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate a segment of a circle - a part of a circle cut off by a chord. The applet shows a circle and a segment of that circle, the ends of which can be dragged to resize the segment. You can create the situation where the chord is a diameter and so no segments are created. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

Our school, Kelly Middle School, is one of the oldest middle school buildings in 4J (primary construction was completed in 1945). Each year we practice earthquake drills. Why? Why should we be concerned about earthquakes? Where might an earthquake occur in the northwest area? Might it be minor or violent? How might this be measured? Is an earthquake a singular event, or a series of events? What increases or decreases an earthquake hazard? Do we have any early-warning systems? Is the school earthquake drill correct? Considering these questions students need to develop an understanding of how to prepare for, and react to an earthquake event. When students are comfortably informed, who should they report to?

Self-compassion involves being aware of our own pain and suffering, and understanding that this is a hard, but normal human experience. Directing feelings of kindness and care towards ourselves, and focusing our attention and energy on how we might alleviate our pain, are also crucial components of self-compassion. Self-compassion can bring great benefits for our mental health and well-being. Particularly, self-compassion can activate our soothe system, which calms the threat and drive systems. Our threat and drive systems tend to be overactive for many of us much of the time, and responsible for the difficult emotions we may be struggling with (e.g., anxiety, anger, depression). The opposite of self-compassion is self-criticism. This very negative thinking style often links to difficult emotions and mental health problems. Those who are highly self-critical particularly need to develop the ability to relate to themselves in a compassionate way.

Mindful Practices to Awaken Your Well-Being and Grow Resilience.

As educators, we are constantly bombarded with stress and overwhelm. Even finding the time and space to pause can sometimes feel “one-more-thing.” On this website there is a compilation of mindful self-compassion meditations found in the book “Self-Compassion for Educators.”
Many of the practices are informal practices you can do any place and any time.

Low self-esteem is having a generally negative overall opinion of oneself, judging or evaluating oneself negatively, and placing a general negative value on oneself as a person. People with low self-esteem usually have deep-seated, basic, negative beliefs about themselves and the kind of person they are. These beliefs are often taken as facts or truths about their identity, rather than being recognised as opinions they hold about themselves. It is important to know that low self-esteem is a common problem for many people in our society – so you are not alone. Low self-esteem can occur as part of a current problem (such as depression), or as a result of other problems (such as chronic illness, relationship problems) or it can be a problem in itself. Either way, the good news is that you can take steps towards developing more healthy self-esteem.
