"The purpose of this support material is to assist educators in using collaborative inquiry to engage in conversations and develop actions to deepen their own, their students’ and communities’ understanding of residential school experiences and related issues that affect the process of reconciliation in Saskatchewan.
These materials may be used in a variety of contexts such as staff meetings, professional learning groups, workshops, school councils and community gatherings. The sample conversation questions and actions may also be useful for individual teacher reflection and planning."

Conversation 1 - What is Reconciliation

Conversation 2 - What do we know about SK residential schools?

Conversation 3 - How can we incorporate culturally-responsive practices in our classrooms to honour the Truth and Reconciliation recommendations and calls to action?

Conversation 4 - How can we move forward...?

"The learning resources created for the numeracy project include:

*a document that identifies a big idea in a curricular outcome, questions for classroom instruction for student assessment, sample answers shown concretely, pictorially and symbolically and connecting outcomes;

*reference documents that provide further information or resources;

*additional questions across multiple grades for each big idea found in a progression document; and,
short videos.

The numeracy project is a curriculum, instruction and assessment support for mathematics. The learning supports are aligned directly to Saskatchewan curricular outcomes."

Select the grade from the menu on the left to explore available documents. I suggest starting by watching the supporting video provided below the documents. The video provides background and information about the documents.

ROVER (Recommended Online Video Education Resources) is a video streaming service for Saskatchewan teachers and students in the PreK-12 education system. It is managed and maintained by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education. ROVER is a video-on-demand service that provides teachers and students with the convenience of immediate access to streamed, educational videos that support curricula. ROVER videos are housed on a server located in a school or school division network so there are no bandwidth issues, resulting in better picture quality and continuous play of videos without pauses. The videos are intended for viewing on the streaming site and not for copying or downloading.

There are approximately 1,500 videos in ROVER’s combined English and French collections that can be accessed by teachers and students to enhance learning in the classroom. All the videos found on this site have been evaluated by educational professionals and recommended to support Saskatchewan’s K-12 curricula. It remains the responsibility of educators to preview and select materials that best meet the needs of their students, school, and community. Educators should choose resources in accordance with their school division’s learning resources selection policy.

ROVER is accessible from within Saskatchewan schools or school division offices without a login. Outside of school, it is possible to access ROVER using a login through a Blackboard account. Every teacher and student in Saskatchewan is registered with a Blackboard account. For more information, please contact networkservices@gov.sk.ca or call our Sector Support Desk at 1-866-933-8333.

"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.

The learning surrounds the Ministry Document "Renewed Curricula" Understanding Outcomes". This can also be found in The Resource Bank by copying and pasting this web address into your browser: https://resourcebank.ca/courses/renewed-curricula-understanding-outcomes

This resource from the Ministry of Education (Saskatchewan) will support Multi-level instruction and planning for student diversity.

Module 1 - Mutli-Level Instruction: Planning for Student Diversity

Module 2 - Reading Instruction: Critical Elements

Module 3 - Instruction for Mathematics: Effective Instructional Practices

Module 4 - Written Expression: Effective Instructional Practices

The resource Sample Math Outcome Questions: An Assessment Resource for Teachers:

GRADES 1 to 9 NOW AVAILABLE.

*provides possible questions, sample responses and rubrics for classroom instruction and assessment is not mandatory.
*was created to support the teaching and learning of mathematics. It can be adapted by teachers to meet the individual needs of their students.
*can be used before, during and/or after classroom instruction as formative or summative assessment(s).
*is designed to elicit responses that inform teachers’ understanding of the skills and concepts that students need to know, understand and are able to do.

This resource primarily assesses students using written response. Indicators that include terms such as research or collect data (for example) are ideally assessed by means other than a written response. Subsequently, teachers must keep in mind that using this resource provides only one of many forms of evidence that teachers collect to report on student achievement of the outcome.

Each resource includes the outcome, indicators, sample assessment and answer key.
