The publication Remembering the Children and this complementary educator’s guide
were designed to help students achieve the following goals:
• gain a more complex understanding of the history and reality of residential schools in Canada, recognizing that children who attended Residential
Schools, day schools, industrial schools and boarding schools had their own
unique experiences and that these experiences varied across the country and
across time
• gain an appreciation for Indigenous knowledge and the diversity of traditional
cultures, languages and teachings of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities
• understand the depth of loss that occurred as a result of the Residential
School system
• learn about contemporary people and organizations who are engaged in cultural revitalization efforts
• understand that they have an individual and collective role in reconciliation
Students and teachers all over Canada will be at different stages of learning. We hope
that the Remembering the Children publication and educator’s guide provide you
with content, resources, voices and ideas so that you can continue these important
conversations all year long.
With appreciation to all educators who are taking on this important work

Fostering Remembrance is a part of everything The Legion does. Through The Royal Canadian Legion's longstanding Annual Poster and Literary Contests, Canadian school children honour Canada’s Veterans through creative art and writing, and help perpetuate Remembrance.

Contests are available for students 5 to 18 for posters (colour & black and white), essays and and now a video entry category as well.

You can find links to the entry forms (one must be attached and signed by a parent to each entry), contest guide and entry forms on the site as well.

Indigenous people have a long and proud tradition of military service in Canada. From the earliest days before Canada was even a country of its own, through through the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, post-war peace support efforts, Afghanistan and on to the present day, thousands of First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other Indigenous men and women have served bravely and well in uniform.

In which John Green teaches you about the European Renaissance. European learning changed the world in the 15th and 16th century, but was it a cultural revolution, or an evolution? We'd argue that any cultural shift that occurs over a couple of hundred years isn't too overwhelming to the people who live through it. In retrospect though, the cultural bloom in Europe during this time was pretty impressive. In addition to investigating what caused the Renaissance and who benefitted from the changes that occurred, John will tell you just how the Ninja Turtles got mixed up in all this.

"Based on the information provided in Renewed Curricula: Understanding Outcomes (2010), this resource may be used in professional learning workshops or meetings to provide an overview of curriculum renewal including examination of student outcomes in an area of study. The discussion questions and suggested activities included in this resource may be adapted to support individual teacher reflection and planning, subject area or grade-alike professional learning groups, an entire school staff, cluster of schools, or school division-wide in-service."

This learning can be completed individually or facilitated with a larger group.

There rubrics can help you assess where your school and/or class currently fit within the REORDER framework, and plan to further develop or improve and goal set.  

Replication (re-running studies to confirm results) and reproducibility (the ability to repeat an analyses on data) have come under fire over the past few years. The foundation of science itself is built upon statistical analysis and yet there has been more and more evidence that suggests possibly even the majority of studies cannot be replicated. This "replication crisis" is likely being caused by a number of factors which we'll discuss as well as some of the proposed solutions to ensure that the results we're drawing from scientific studies are reliable.

Today, we’re going to take a look at how computers use a stream of 1s and 0s to represent all of our data - from our text messages and photos to music and webpages. We’re going to focus on how these binary values are used to represent numbers and letters, and discuss how our need to perform operations on larger and more complex values brought us from our 8-bit video games to beautiful Instagram photos, and from unreadable garbled text in our emails to a universal language encoding scheme.

Congratulations! You have just graduated from a Master’s program in Genetic Counseling, one of the
most prestigious degree in Canada! You have been hired to work as part of a team of 4 genetic
counselors. As part of a new and rapidly changing field of work, you know that this will naturally come
with a bit of research. Your task is to research the area of your specialty.

Hank lets us in on the meaning of life, at least from a biological perspective - it's reproduction, which answers the essential question of all organisms: how do I make more of myself? So, sex, how does it work?

Valuing the Aboriginal Learner: Seven Living Principles
This monograph explores the relationship between Aboriginal students’ self-esteem and educational attainment. The key questions that guide this discussion are: 1. What strategies currently work for Aboriginal students, and why are they so important for creating meaningful change? 2. What are the day-to-day implications for educators endeavouring to ensure Aboriginal student needs are met?
The seven principles explored in the resource are:
1. Respect
2. Love
3. Bravery
4. Wisdom
5. Humility
6. Honesty
7. Truth

The students will direct their own learning that incorporates collaboration, critical thinking, and technology to research, gather facts, and prepare a presentation to their peers on a country of their choice.

The following is a resource for teaching research skills to grades 1 and 2 students. This works with the 21st century skills SECRET framework, but would also easily work with the 7Cs. It looks at teaching them:
How to ask a question
How to search for information
How to evaluate resources
How to take notes
How to share your learning

For each grade level, a suggested set of I can statements has also been developed. Below is an example from Grade 1:

Grade One
Social and Ethical Use of Digital Technologies
 I can take turns when I use a digital technology (e.g. computer, tablet, etc.).
 I can show care when using digital technology.
Research and Inquiry
 I can use question starter words (e.g. 5 Ws) to guide my online searches.
 I can read visuals from digital technologies to discover information (e.g. SmartBoard images, images from the internet).
 I can begin to use multi-media sources to locate information (e.g. use audio from online story or CD).

ecosystems as part of interconnected food webs, populations, and
