This set of lessons, ranging from 20-40 minutes, was developed to support the teaching of selfregulation in middle and high schools.
The nine lessons are designed to be modified by teachers to be relevant and appropriate to school
context and student needs. For example, example scenarios, cases, and quotes can be exchanged for
teacher-developed examples.
The lessons can be taught school-wide to all middle and high school students via an advisory or zero
hour course, or within specific course content.

The semitruck and trailer is what I would call a simple project. This is a project that student
could make in their 1st year of IA in grade 7 or 8, (I have had grade 12 students make the truck
and A or B-train.) When the students are making their project they are demonstrating to me that they have understood and follow the safety for each of the machines available using. In Mr.
Kurulak’s class you must watch the safety presentation/demo for each machine, and then write a safety exam for that machine earning at least an 80% on the 1st try, if the student does not pass it on the 1st try they must get 100% correct on any rewrites, whatever Mark they get on their 1st exam is what I count towards their report card marks, as I’m assuming at that point I am expecting you know that information.

Preschool Games, Videos, & Coloring Pages to Help Kids Grow Smarter, Stronger & Kinder
With a mission to help kids meet critical early development needs — the program many of us grew up on is still going strong and providing online content and shows every weekday morning. Many parents will attest that “Sesame Street” is still one of the best resources for the pre-K and kindergarten set, as well as kids with special needs. You’ll find video, games and art projects online.

On March 6th, 2020, a presentation was held for Sun West teachers considering delivering course content through Moodle. This presentation covered topics ranging from setting up assignments and quizzes, generating forum discussions, and grading.

Seven Essentials for Project-Based Learning
John Larmer and John R. Mergendoller

Some "projects" border on busywork. Others involve meaningful inquiry that engages students' minds.

This article outlines the seven essential inclusions to make PBL a success for you and your students.

The Seven Sacred Laws is a colourful and imaginative animated web series that follows a young boy on an Indigenous rite of passage: a vision quest. On his spiritual journey, he meets seven sacred animals that teach him how we as people should live our lives on Mother Earth

In partnership with The Turtle Lodge International Centre for Indigenous Education and Wellness in Sagkeeng First Nation and IG Wealth Management, Manitoba 150 is honoured to present a series of short animated films on the Seven Sacred Laws. Written by Anishinaabe Elder, Dr. David Courchene, directed by Indigenous filmmaker, Erica Daniels of Peguis First Nation, and created by Manitoba’s Peg City Pictures Inc., the vignettes tell the stories of Indigenous Peoples in their own voices, in a format that is accessible not only for Indigenous people, but for all Manitobans.

The video series goes through the seven sacred teachings in kid-friendly language. There are seven videos, one for each teaching, as well as an overview video. The videos are short and can stand alone without the resource. The resource goes along with each of the videos. Could be paired with Leader in Me or character education.

Never collect information you are not going to use. Ask focused pre-assessment questions that will reveal student’s readiness, interests and learning preferences as they relate to the unit’s goals.

Group together all pre-assessment questions or activities about a particular understanding or skill. This will allow you to easily and quickly work with preassessment results when you are planning.

Provide students with a checklist of your expectations for their summative work. Require that they or a peer check their work against the list before submitting it for grading.

So, what's the difference between "weather" and "severe weather"? Is it just how hard the wind is blowing? Is it just thunder and lighting? Well, it can be some or all of those things. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks to us about what makes Severe Weather and how it interacts with the Geosphere and Biosphere.

The task was for the students to design a pillow, create their own patterns, and then sew the pieces together accordingly. Students then self evaluated their pillows and reflected on what they could have done to improve. Part of the assessment was class time used as well. Some of the projects turned out
incredible. You try to encourage them to pick designs that are both difficult enough, as well as not too difficult.

Hank introduces us to nonvascular plants - liverworts, hornworts & mosses - which have bizarre features, kooky habits, and strange sex lives. Nonvascular plants inherited their reproductive cycle from algae, but have perfected it to the point where it is now used by all plants in one way or another, and has even left traces in our own reproductive systems.

While sociology is a social science, we can use it to explore some intensely personal, private things. Today we’ll explore what sociology can tell us about sex and sexuality. We’ll also see what the three sociological paradigms have to say about sexuality and sexual orientations.

Summary
For my artifact, I incorporated the multiple intelligences and creativity in the
post-assignments for The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson. Before reading the novel, I
had students take the multiple intelligences test
at http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/ind
ex.htm After this, students had a better understanding of their strengths in the
different intelligences. From here, I introduced some of the projects to the students
and I got input from them about possible projects that we could do which would fit
under the various intelligences. I made it mandatory that students choose three
projects, each from a different intelligence. I suggested that they choose assignments
from the categories in which they scored highly on the multiple intelligences test, but
I left the final decision up to them which assignments they would ultimately choose. I
made sure to give students the assignment details before reading the novel, so in that
way they were able to read with a purpose, keeping the requirements of the
assignment in mind.
