Here are some resources that will help you get started with teaching Guided Math in your classroom.

Guided math is about having students work and learn at their own pace, place and choice. Being that students work at their own pace they are provided a variety of choice within learning strategies and learning environments.

Environment: Students have choice of where they want to work and how they want to work. They are able to work at their desks, at a table, on the couch/carpet or at the computers. They are able to choose to work alone, work with technology, work with a pair or work with a teacher.

Learning: At the beginning of each outcome students receive a document which is very structured information about where they are and where they need to go. This document also displays student achievement. **see below** Each student keeps their work in a file folder at the front of the classroom. At the beginning of every class students take their file folder to their desk and begin working. Students are guided to seek their own understanding by using their textbook, an iPad or a peer. The resources used are Saskatchewan Outcome Based Assessments, Sun West Moodle, Mathletics, ePearson textbooks and Math Makes Sense Textbooks.

Curriculum Objectives:
- To increase awareness of the residential school system as a major part of the European colonizing effort against Aboriginal peoples, resulting in significant intergenerational impacts.
- To increase awareness and understanding of what Nishnawbe Aski Nation (Ontario) members experienced while attending the 13 residential schools in the region.
- To promote awareness in reclaiming language, culture and skills that were lost as a result of residential schools.
- To promote individual healing in the context of rebuilding links with families, communities and Elders.

The information and insights contained in this document will be of interest to anyone involved in bringing local knowledge to bear in school curriculum. Drawing upon the efforts of many people over a period of several years, Sidney Stephens has managed to distill and synthesize the critical ingredients for making the teaching of science relevant and meaningful in culturally adaptable ways. This handbook will provide teachers invaluable assistance with the task of developing and teaching "culturally responsive science curriculum."

There is mounting evidence that curricular and teaching practices that link schooling to the surrounding cultural and physical environment produce positive results on all indicators of student and school performance. This handbook reflects the most current pedagogical principles that move educational practice from teaching about culture as another discrete subject to teaching through the local culture as a way to bring depth, breadth and significance to all aspects of the curriculum.

A complete novel study for the novel, Hatchet. This novel study includes chapter comprehension questions, video links, formative and summative assessments, choice board, rubrics, etc.

This PBL leads students to study and analyze people and events connected with "English Civil War and Glorious Revolution". The PBL includes disclosures for the students to consider and assessments (formative and summative). A PowerPoint of pictures of the historically important people is attached.

In the 21CC project the students will put together a trunk full of artifacts or ‘keepsakes’ from the perspective anyone who would have lived through the 1920s and 30s. The truck has to demonstrate the change the occurred over that 20 year span. The artifacts must be tangible (not only a picture of an artifact but a picture could be an artifact); could be original or replica (made by them). It follows the 6 phases of creativity with a student project guide and an artifact presentation rubric.

These rubrics were developed to aid in the study of the World Wars
Gas Warfare
Historical Newspaper
Description of the trenches

The main purpose of grading is to inform our pedagogy. A grade should tell the student, the teacher and the parents how a student performs in comparison a well-defined standardized outcome.

The grade should help direct the students further learning by identifying the student’s position on the journey to mastery.

A form to share with students and parents so that you know what supplies students have at hand.

This project was created in conjunction with the McDowell Research project - Decolonizing curriculum. It was designed collaboratively with Indigenous teachers and is intended for Indigenous students. It is place based on Treaty Four, George Gordon First Nation. It is based on a holistic planning and assessment foundation.
