Teachers understand that there are many layers of content, outcomes, skills, and experiences that our students require throughout their educational journey to become competent 21st century learners. Teachers have must dos, such as curricular outcomes and assessment, but there are also many additional elements to provide enrichment to learning for students. All of these layers can become overwhelming if only considered from the perspective of teaching these elements in silos. GAP or Grade Alike Planning in Sun West has offered opportunities to teachers to reimagine these elements by infusing them together. The GAP Infusion Poster illustrates a visual of this philosophy where many elements are blended thoughtfully together to meet many learning outcomes, provide many opportunities, and give students' voice and choice in their learning by exploring their interests and learning needs.

"A document titled Guidelines to the Procurement Obligations of Domestic and International Trade Agreement has been developed to house basic procurement obligations in one place. It provides information about Saskatchewan’s procurement obligations under the following agreements:
"New West Partnership Trade Agreement between British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba; Canadian Free Trade Agreement between all Canadian provinces, territories and the federal government; Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement between Canada and the members of the European Union;
World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement; and, Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership between Canada and ten other Pacific Rim countries.
This document is a guide and should not been taken as legal advice, nor should it replace the specific procurement obligations outlined in each agreement. Nonetheless, a procuring entity that follows the guidelines should be assured that its actions will generally meet the applicable obligations of the trade agreements.
You are encouraged to become familiar with these guidelines and review your procurement policies with this document in mind."

Students' eyes are opened to the value of creative, expressive and succinct visual presentation of data, findings and concepts. Student pairs design, redesign and perform simple experiments to test the differences in thermal conductivity (heat flow) through different media (foil and thin steel). Then students create visual diagrams of their findings that can be understood by anyone with little background on the subject, applying their newly learned art vocabulary and concepts to clearly communicate their results. The principles of visual design include contrast, alignment, repetition and proximity; the elements of visual design include an awareness of the use of lines, color, texture, shape, size, value and space. If students already have data available from other experiments, have them jump right into the diagram creation and critique portions of the activity.
Sometimes a single unlikely idea can have massive impact across the world. Sir Harold Evans, the author of They Made America, describes how frustration drove Malcom McLean, a small-town truck driver, to invent the shipping container. Containerization was born, and it transformed the modern global economy. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 5-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.
