This week, we're headed to the Americas to learn about the theater that existed there prior to the arrival of Europeans, how the theater of the Spanish influenced it, and the impact of Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz, playwrighting Spanish nun extraordinaire.

First Nations peoples are the original inhabitants of most of the land now called Canada. First Nations people prefer the name First Nations when referring to the collective. Individual Nations are defined by their own languages, cultural, and spiritual traditions rather than criteria developed or established by settler governments or academics.

Attention Saskatchewan high school science teachers!

Looking for some FREE resources and opportunities that will connect the curriculum with real-world applications as it pertains to: health and wellness; medicine, nursing, & biomedical engineering?

Check out these 3 resources for science teachers to use to help reach students who might be interested in healthcare careers (these are available gratis):

1. Science teacher hub that gives teachers access to 50+ resources that they can use in the classroom (medical mystery cases, mentorship videos, what different medical specialists do etc..) (https://www.premedskl.com/teacherhub/)

2. Quarterly Medical Bs for high school students - which are case-based competitions (think Jeopardy meets WebMD!). (https://www.premedskl.com/medicalb/)

3. IDEA Scholarships to PreMedSKL, a 1-year advanced curriculum and mentorship program for high school students interested in exploring a career in medicine and healthcare. The IDEA Scholarship is for students from communities that are traditionally under-represented in medicine (ie Indigenous, Black, LatinX and other communities). (https://www.premedskl.com/idea-scholarship/)

Prescription drug abuse is a growing issue, and opioid abuse is now the leading cause of accidental deaths in the U.S. With one in five high school seniors reporting that they have misused prescription drugs, reaching students early is now more important than ever. Prescription Drug Safety is an innovative digital course that arms high school students with the knowledge and tools to make healthy, informed decisions when it comes to prescription medications. Through interactive scenarios and self-guided activities, students learn about a range of topics, including the science of addiction, how to properly use and dispose of prescription drugs, and how to intervene when faced with a situation involving drug misuse.

This Course Covers
Opioids, stimulants, and depressants
Proper prescription drug use, storage, and disposal
Brain and body: the science of addiction
Simulations: refusal and bystander skills
Debunking common myths

This newly updated digital course educates students about the potential dangers of misusing prescription medications, including fentanyl. The course – developed in partnership with Truth Initiative, the public health organization behind the nationally recognized truth® youth tobacco prevention and education campaign – explores the impact misuse can have on teens' physical and mental health, relationships, communities, and futures. The tone and design of the updated course is more youth-led and easier to digest by teens with brand new content addressing the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit drugs.

So, who was this Presocrates guy? Just kidding!
Long ago, some philosophers worked very hard to separate myths from what they actually knew about nature.
Thales theorized that everything in the world is made of water. Pythagoras was a mathematical-mystical vegetarian. And Democritus, we all know and love as the Atom Guy…
Meet the Presocratics!

Students will discuss works of art that have grotesque elements and symmetry in their design. They will identify symmetry and line in grotesques. Students will create symmetrical designs for a pilgrim bottle and also design a door panel using grotesques. They will then analyze William Blake's poem "The Tiger" and write their own grotesque-inspired poetry.

A lot of work goes into managing our impact on the environment and its impact on us. That work is the work of environmental engineers. In this episode we’ll explore water quality, air quality, noise pollution, waste management, and more.

This is a template younger students can learn to share their learning style, MI, group style etc after completing their inventories.
This can be edited to suit your needs!

The grade 6 students completed their unit of study on principles of flight. As an end of unit project, they were asked to create a working prototype of a flying object. The students were given a couple of examples from the textbook (page 208 & 213) of objects they could create. These examples were given to encourage the students to think of ideas and gear them on the right track. Therefore, they were asked not to use these examples (although the students that had trouble thinking of their own project were able to use them). As a class, we agreed upon the required performance criteria. The students were then given a handout to fill in as they built their prototype. This handout was to be handed in once the project was completed. An assessment rubric was also given. The students were asked to write a paragraph on each of the assessment rubric categories, explaining how their prototype met that particular category. Next the students were given a few classes to work on their prototype. Once completed, the students were asked to give a presentation where they would describe their project and demonstrate it. The project was assessed using the criteria set out by the students and the rubrics in the teacher’s guide.

Memory is enhanced by paying attention to and developing:

dual coding (teachers and students)
exercise and elaboration

This website has been used to develop a number of open-source psychological tests. All are availible under a creative commons licence. This is the full list of such tests, not all have been finalized:

Open Extended Jungian Type Scales (documentation) * Myers Briggs
Open Hemispheric Brain Dominance Scale (documentation)
Open Enneagram of Personality Scales
Exposure Based Face Memory Test

For other open source measures, try the International Personality Item Pool.

These are some options you may want to consider for student learner profiles for older students - especially the Jung/Myers Briggs and Enneagram scales.
