This site introduces students to the world of Ben Franklin and other natural philosophers at a time when the word science had not yet entered our language. Portraits of Franklin's colleagues, an overview of his life, and experiments showing how electrical charges attract and repel are part of this lesson (for Grades 3-8).
Thinking of students on different pathways to learning can help us better understand Personalized Learning.
Implementing learning pathways can help teachers to "adapt to each student’s learning progress, motivation and goals".
In the example given (and there are many more versions you could use!) Students are on 3 pathways. All pathways get small group instruction!
Pathway 1 - these are the students that are usually ahead. They skip over some things and get into the deeper work.
Pathway 2 - the "core" track for students working at level.
Pathway 3 - these students may have gaps or work more slowly. They don't get MORE work, but work at their level. They will likely get more small group instruction than the other paths.
Formative assessment is used on all pathways to improve instruction and learning.
*students can move between pathways if desired or necessary!
All students learn differently. It is important to understand
the thought processes of all students. I wanted to use the
class blog to demonstrate my students’ thinking and increase
their engagement. I worked with all the different areas of
learning styles presented at this PD day. I created different
assignments and I had the students put their work on our
class blog.

We all know there are some big decisions coming up on Tuesday. Kid President walks you through some good (and bad) ways to make BIG decisions.
This inspiring video can be used with students as a prompt to discuss the decisions they have made in the past, as well as ones they may be grappling with right now.
Students could reflect on an example of each time they've used the strategies presented and if they were effective or not.
This microtutorial will show you how to create a free account in the Resource Bank. You don't need an account to use the bank, but there are many perks to having one.

Welcome to the Mathematics Shed, there are a whole host of free resources and links on this site. So many grade levels and math outcomes covered by various themes such as Lego, Star Wars, Encanto, Minions, Superheroes and many others. The website includes a "Starter of the Day" activity, visuals, games, printables, number talks, word problems and mental math activities.
This 10 minute video will explain how you can find, schedule and use the Saskatchewan Assessments housed within Mathletics with your students. These assessments can be used to support your work with Personalized Goals (PGs), classroom instruction and your other assessment needs.
"This month's theme is all about reflecting on what gives our life meaning. Being a part of something bigger than ourselves or focusing on things that we value is key to our wellbeing. Having a faith, or being involved with a particular cause or passion can provide this sense of something bigger, or it could be relationships or things that you nurture. Let's take time to reflect on what we care about this month and keep these things at the front of our minds as society opens up again."
GOAL: Help students identify how differences between in-person and online communication affect how messages are perceived and explore how to avoid misinterpretations of online messages.
This is a calculus-based book meant for the first semester of the type of freshman survey course taken by engineering and physical science majors. A treatment of relativity is interspersed with the Newtonian mechanics, in optional sections. The book is designed so that it can be used as a drop-in replacement for the corresponding part of Simple Nature, for instructors who prefer a traditional order of topics. Simple Nature does energy before force, while Mechanics does force before energy. Simple Nature has its treatment of relativity all in a single chapter, rather than in parallel with the development of Newtonian mechanics.
This is the most recent version of the chart, updated August 2018.
