Never collect information you are not going to use. Ask focused pre-assessment questions that will reveal student’s readiness, interests and learning preferences as they relate to the unit’s goals.

Group together all pre-assessment questions or activities about a particular understanding or skill. This will allow you to easily and quickly work with preassessment results when you are planning.

Provide students with a checklist of your expectations for their summative work. Require that they or a peer check their work against the list before submitting it for grading.

Shattering the Silence is a Saskatchewan Project of Heart interactive ebook that uncovers the history of Indian residential schools in Saskatchewan.
Written in 2017 by the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina, this document discovers the reality of residential schools in Saskatchewan. It is a great resource for teachers, students and the community that covers many topics and all the residential schools in the province.

This ebook is part of Project of Heart, which is a commemorative project that facilitates student learning about residential schools. The project is an inquiry-based, collaborative, intergenerational, and artistic journey to examine the history and legacy of Indian residential schools in Canada, leading to the acknowledgment of the losses incurred by former students, their families and communities.

"Shifting Minds 3.0: Redefining the Learning Landscape in Canada offers a vehicle for learning systems to reflect and inspire innovation that supports competency and resiliency in a global economy."

KEY MESSAGES
"*Surface changes in education will not equip students for the 21st century: change is needed at the core of educational practice.
*Whole-system reform requires conditions that support educators in examining and reshaping the foundations on which their practice is built.
*A dual strategy of both improvement and innovation is required to maintain stability while enabling forward momentum.
*Leaders watch for the fine balance between the need for autonomy to innovate at the school level and the desire for systemic and sustainable improvement.
*Diversity is messy but critical in order to minimize ‘group think’ and maximize the possible solutions that will meet real-world needs.
*Insights from complexity theory can help leaders think outside the box of the traditional system to inspire and spread positive changes.
*Change is inevitable: transformation is possible."

"Imagine the possibilities leading documents are a sequel to Shifting Minds 3.0 Redefining the Learning Landscape in Canada. They are designed to help leaders continue to seek evidence and growth of innovative system cultures that promote competencies needed in a digital economy."

A Short History of the Highrise is an interactive documentary that explores the 2,500-year global history of vertical living and issues of social equality in an increasingly urbanized world.

Dans ce court métrage d'animation, l'esprit d'un jeune garçon de septième année s’évade alors qu’il dissèque une grenouille durant le cours de biologie. Que feriez-vous si vous découvriez soudain, à l’âge de 12 ans, que vous possédez des pouvoirs comparables à ceux de Dieu? Vous serviraient-ils à faire du bien? Du mal? Un peu des deux?

S’inspirant de souvenirs d’une journée de septième année particulièrement difficile, Cordell Barker utilise diverses techniques allant de l’animation traditionnelle aux marionnettes animées image par image pour créer un court métrage en 3D d’allure artisanale, aussi imparfaitement humain que l’univers que chacun de nous se façonne.

**pour élèves de 10-18 ans

"Millions of parents and carers have suddenly found themselves responsible for overseeing their children’s education from home.
If you’re one of them, you may be finding this a daunting challenge to be facing on top of all of the other stresses of our current global situation.

I am launching a podcast special to help bring you and your family resources and insight from around the world, and to give you the opportunity to share what is happening with your own family so that others can benefit from your experiences. No matter how isolated you may be feeling, the support you need is out there and my hope is that this podcast will connect you to it." - Sir Ken Robinson

The Sixties Scoop refers to a period in Saskatchewan’s history when Indigenous children were removed from their parents and communities by provincial child welfare services. Status, non-status, Métis and Inuit children were placed for adoption and/or foster care and were raised outside of their communities without the influences of their Indigenous culture, values and languages. This section contains a list of resources and curriculum connections for teachers to address with their students.

This is a link to the Ministry of Education's site and Sixties Scoop Resources.

La plus ancienne des associations provinciales de services est la Société historique de la Saskatchewan. C’est en automne 1977 qu’on lance l’idée de créer une Société historique fransaskoise, dont les buts seront: «grouper les personnes intéressées à notre histoire; développer le goût de notre histoire et communiquer par des écrits la connaissance de notre histoire; recueillir et déposer aux archives provinciales les souvenirs, portraits, gravures, documents, papiers de familles, etc..».

This is a resource created by the Speech-Language Pathologists working in the Sun West School Division. We are all in uncharted territory right now with school closures and finding the best way to support students to ensure that their needs are met during this time away from school.

We thought the easiest way to connect with all of you would be to make this general website that includes information about what exactly speech and language includes and how we can work together to support your children at this time. This website includes the basics of articulation (speech), language, fluency, and AAC. It also includes some general ideas for ways to work on these skills at home.

If you would like some specific handouts, worksheets, or have any questions you can contact the SLP who works at your school directly by email.

The organization brings together executive leaders of school districts and knowledge-sector businesses who share the belief that 21st century competencies and innovations in learning must be scaled on an urgent basis. The Spiral Playbook: Leading with an inquiring mindset in school systems and schools points the way forward. It describes a sustainable approach to professional inquiry that aims to transform how educators learn and lead – with teams and across networks.
