Teachers emotionally support our kids — but who's supporting our teachers? In this eye-opening talk, educator Sydney Jensen explores how teachers are at risk of "secondary trauma" — the idea that they absorb the emotional weight of their students' experiences — and shows how schools can get creative in supporting everyone's mental health and wellness.
Grab these free syllable clip cards today! Great for preschoolers and early readers.
The good reasons this skill of counting syllables has shifted down to pre-readers as they begin to make sense of the world of literacy:

- Beginning spellers do better when they can break words into pieces.

It's a Scandinavian grudge match on Crash Course Theater. We're looking at a couple of the key movements in European theater that deeply influenced the modern theater of today. We'll take a close look at two of the most radical and influential European playwrights of the 19th century, who just happened to be mortal enemies. Henrik Ibsen of Norway, and Swede August Strindberg reshaped theater, between bouts of hating each other.
What exactly is culture? This week we’re going to try to answer that, and explain the difference between material and non-material culture. We’ll look at three things that make up culture: symbols, values and beliefs, and norms. We’ll explore Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (and some of its problems) and how language influences culture. Finally, we’ll talk about the three types of norms – folkways, mores, and taboos – which govern our daily life.

The Irish Renaissance in the early 20th century included a wealth of new plays written both in Ireland, and by Irish ex-patriots elsewhere. W.B. Yeats, Lady Augusta Gregory, and J.M. Synge were creating a new national theater of Ireland at the Abbey Theatre. They often drew their stories from the fabric of Irish life. Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw were meanwhile writing important (and often hilarious) works on the world stage.

Peu de Canadiens et Canadiennes savent que les minorités francophones du pays peinent à obtenir une éducation en français parce que les infrastructures nécessaires manquent ou n’existent carrément pas. Droit comme un F lève le voile sur cette réalité en suivant la lutte de parents déterminés à faire valoir leurs droits.
Cette série documentaire relate le combat des minorités francophones hors Québec pour le droit à une éducation en français de qualité. En 1982, avec l’adoption de l’article 23 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés, la Constitution canadienne reconnaît aux minorités linguistiques le droit à l’éducation dans leur propre langue. Mais les minorités francophones du pays font alors face à une dure réalité : les infrastructures nécessaires pour recevoir une éducation française manquent ou sont carrément inexistantes. Des comités de parents décident d’entreprendre des batailles judiciaires contre leur gouvernement provincial pour que leurs droits soient reconnus et respectés. Droit comme un F relate six de ces histoires.

This is an activity about the properties and characteristics of Earth‰Ûªs magnetic field as shown through magnetometer data and its 3D vector nature. This resource builds understanding of conceptual tools such as the addition of vectors and interpreting contour maps displaying magnetic signature data. Learners will make several paper 3D vector addition models, watch podcasts on how to analyze magnetometer data, and employ 3D vector plots to create a model of the 3D magnetic field in the location of the magnetometer closest to their town. This is a multi-step activity with corresponding worksheets for each step. The activity uses data from the THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms) GEONS magnetometer, and requires the use of a computer with internet access and speakers, 2-inch polystyrene balls and bamboo skewers. This is activity 16 from Exploring Magnetism: Earth's Magnetic Personality.
