This video shows 1st graders participating in the end of cycle reading and spelling assessment with their teacher in our K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block. It specifically shows the spelling portion. The teacher administers the assessment with a small group, evaluates their responses, and confers with each student to set an individual goal. End of cycle assessments are used throughout Kindergarten-2nd grade, typically weekly.

This resource includes great assessment tips for Kindergarten to Grade 5 for in-class assessment as well as ideas for teachers who are providing remote learning to their students. We Are Teachers is a tremendous place to find ots of wonderful teaching resources in all areas for all grade levels.

Kahoot! is a game-based platform that makes learning awesome for millions of people all over the world. Sign up to create and play fun quiz games!

Having students make quizzes on Kahoot! is a great way for them to extend their learning and benefit the entire class!

Kahoot! is an excellent formative assessment tool. You can give feedback to your students after each question as you play. Make learning a game show...your students will never have so much fun being assessed.

This is a strategy to allow your students to share "What else do you know that I didn’t ask you?" By including a last page with the title...Everything I know about this topic but wasn’t asked on the assessment…

The Learning Behaviors are those behaviors necessary for a student to succeed both socially and academically

Student's self evaluation of their learning behaviours 3 times a year, at report card time. A teacher observation list as well to use. This would need to change to meet the slightly different high school learning behaviors for Sun West.

This presentation helps to teach Module 33: Macro-Economics: Investigate the role and responsibilities of the Bank of Canada in regulating interest rates in Canada,  research and assess the impact of each stage of the economic life cycle on Saskatchewan and Canadian markets and examine the relationship between economic factors such as interest rates and economic conditions (e.g., recession, depression and bull market) and investment relative to a country’s economic growth.

In this lesson you will learn about how the larger macroeconomic situation impacts every Canadian (market growth/decline, inflation, and domestic and global economic conditions (war, unemployment, labor, international trade). This lesson will explore questions such as: What are key indicators (types of markets, unemployment, inflation, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP)) identifying to a country’s economic performance and how do these affect financial decisions?

In this lesson students will learn about how inflation impacts every Canadian, as it is part of every purchase we require to live: housing, food, clothing, entertainment and more. The calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is demonstrated through the basket of goods that make up the CPI figures. Knowing about inflation and the impact on financial decisions is very important for students to learn to “stay ahead”; meaning money earned/income needs to equal or be greater than money spent/ expenses, or they will “fall behind” financially. The lesson ends with a demonstration of a single good, calculating the “Big Mac Inflation” and comparing this to all other goods. 

In this lesson, you will learn about how larger economic situations impact every Canadian, specifically around employment and jobs. Financial literacy is very interconnected to career planning, education planning, family planning and mental wellness. The impact of these 5 items is circular and unemployment is a very important topic in this whole circle. If someone is unemployed, the economic and financial impact can be devasting (look at what happened when millions lost their jobs during 2020 Covid-19 crisi!)

It can be challenging to navigate the many subtests that can be used in universal screening! Skilled reading involves the integration of many subskills. This chart can be used to identify the most pressing need for instruction. For older students – start at the top and work your way down to find the lowest barrier skill. For younger students learning to read (Kindergarten and grade 1), start at the bottom and work your way up to find the next skill to teach.

Early reading screening is an evidence-based way for educators and leaders to understand student and system risk. This document supports educators in understanding and making decisions about assessment and instruction.

This is a great site for teachers that love math (and maybe don't love but teach math anyway!)

You'll find some amazing sample questions covering different depths of knowledge, some great ways to focus on strategies, and more!

Basic Concepts of Math from The Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools was created as a numeracy diagnostic to assess the Saskatchewan Math curriculum. This assessment provides a snapshot of student performance., and it is intended to give an indication of grade level outcome achievement in math. This information can be used to inform your instruction and help meet your students' needs.  Sask DLC teachers proceed to section 2 for interim materials.  

This resource is a "cheat sheet" of the math learning continuum based upon the work by Michael Battista. His work is designed to work with any curriculum, Cognition-Based Assessment and Teaching will enable you to better understand and respond to your students’ learning needs and help you choose instructional activities that are best for them. These cheat sheets show the task analysis. In his books, Battista provides assessment tasks and suggestions for teaching a skill.

Math outcomes for grade 1-9 organized by grade and by topic.  Each grade is a column so it is easy to work through a grade level.  Horizontally and by colour or outline, the document is organized by topic so students and teachers can see the like outcomes within other grades.  This document can help with future planning as well as with gap filling.  It can also help teachers working in a Colony or multi-grade setting. I Can Statements are taken from Sun West 1-9 Outcome Tracking.
