This is a paper on oral language in relation to Reading Recovery.
Information on the record of oral language is contained, as well as the paper to administer it to students to determine what they can control with regards to oral language.

From the Wabisabi blog by Lee Wantanabe-Crockett
15 reflection questions for learners of all ages. These are very useful for professional development as well as for students.

This site houses printables for teaching using Hattie's methods for Mathematics.

Templates, rubrics, prompts, checklists and more are provided!

The menu on the left side also links to several very valuable videos about teaching math using surface, deep and transfer strategies.

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).

This free guide from RetrievalPractice.org will help you understand retrieval practice and how to get the most out of it.

Just a few strategies include:
- Clickers or Colored Index Cards
- Bell Work or Exit Tickets
- Page Protectors with Dry Erase Markers

The package also offers a handy "RETRIEVAL PRACTICE IMPLEMENTATION CHECKLIST".

This graphic organizer allows students to decide if a risk is worth taking. Risk taking is an important part of self-management or regulation.

Students identify phrases in a known song and create new patterns of music.

This activity is about planetary rovers. Learners will simulate the challenges in communications that engineers face when driving a rover on Mars. They will particpate as part of a rover team to design and execute a series of commands that will guide a rover made of people through an obstacle course simulating the Martian surface. Students will learn the limitations of operating a planetary rover and problem solving solutions by using this simulation. The lesson models the engineering design process using the 5E instructional model and includes teacher notes, vocabulary, student journal and reading.

Rube Goldberg machines are a fun and innovative way to integrate 21st century skills into your math, science, STEM or design learning class.
Rube Goldberg machines involve using a series of complex steps to do a simple task.
Students first begin reflecting on what 21st century skills they will need to pull this activity off. Then they must make an effective plan as a group before they are able to gather their materials and build. The plan can (and likely should!) change as they work and that is fine. Students should reflect on their 21st century skills daily to give them an opportunity to regroup and refocus as needed.
This is really a fun and valuable activity! This version was done a 7/8 Math class.

"You can create customized rubrics for primary, elementary, middle, and high school.

When you make a rubric, you can use default text for a variety of existing performances, or create your content from scratch."

Sample rubrics for a variety of subjects are available.

Create custom assessments for student work using this tool.

It takes time to create a quality rubric, but this is where the Rubric Maker can help. When you pull-down a component to add to your rubric, assessment criteria is populated for each level! The text is fully-editable so you can customize for the needs of your classroom.

The free membership allows you to create rubrics, save them, print them and export a PDF file.

Rubrics are included for English Language Arts courses at Sun West School Division in SK.

Over 30 amazing pieces are included.

This is a fabulous resource.

This is a template to take a running record of your students' reading.

Instructions are also provided on how to complete the template and analyze the results.

« Les activités détaillées qui suivent servent à aider les élèves à déterminer une solution efficace pour aider une personne qui fait face à un défi ou à une difficulté. (Cette leçon met l'accent sur l'aide à offrir à un nouveau venu à l'école ou dans la communauté; toutefois, elle peut être adaptée de manière à aborder d'autres situations.) »

Cette petite unité se sert du film « Venue de loin » (animation, 6 minutes) de Shira Avni et Serene El-haj Daoud, qui se trouve sur le site de l'ONF: https://www.onf.ca/distribution/film/venue_de_loin

The following are a set of daily checklists students can use to reflect on each individual SECRET skill. The log has the students rate themselves on the sub skills of the big skill as well as set a goal for what they need to focus on to improve the next day.

These resources are a good starting point when you want to implement 21st century SECRET skills. The guide book provides you with the theory of the skills as well as how to start. There is a template included on how to teach and assess these skills. The other pieces provide rubrics for students to assess their own skills as well as their peers.

This is a collection of reflections and other materials that will be useful for report card and parent teacher interviews to explain the SECRET skills as well as reflect on progress to date.

"How are our students doing? Who needs our support right now?"

This year, checking in on students frequently and consistently is even more critical to creating a safe and supportive learning environment.

Administrators and educators can these questions during a morning meeting, advisory period, small group intervention, or general class time to:

Check in on student well-being and supports
Do an interim SEL skills and competencies check
Gather classroom feedback to inform instruction
Identify the students who need extra help right now academically, socially, and emotionally

In This Guide, You'll Get Access to:

✔ Panorama's full check-ins question bank (includes 80+ free response and multiple choice questions for grades 3-12)

✔ Recommendations on who should use the questions, how often to send check-ins, and how to take action on the data

✔ An overview of Panorama's new student check-ins tool, which is a companion to annual SEL and school climate measurement "
