"The EAL and Newcomer Settlement Portal (the Portal) offers a repository of resources for supporting English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners. Users can access important ministry documents, helpful resources and learning materials shared by school divisions. Important announcements regarding upcoming events are also available.
Key items available on the Portal are:

*EAL Initial Assessment Toolkits that include guidelines, documents and resources to support school divisions in conducting the initial assessment of EAL learners.

*Supporting EAL Learners: Getting Started modules intended to provide practical, hands-on resources for all educators.
EAL resources on creating welcoming learning environments, as well as educator supports in addressing the language and learning needs of EAL students."

« Le Portail EAL (apprentissage de l'anglais langue additionnelle) et d'établissement des nouveaux arrivants propose un répertoire de ressources pour soutenir les apprenants d'EAL, [ainsi que quelques ressources pour les apprenants de français - surtout des services d'interprétation multilingues]. Les utilisateurs peuvent accéder à des documents ministériels importants, des ressources utiles et du matériel pédagogique partagé par les divisions scolaires. Des annonces importantes concernant les événements à venir sont également disponibles. »

The learning of linear functions is pervasive in most algebra classrooms. Linear functions are vital in laying the foundation for understanding the concept of modeling. This unit gives students the opportunity to make use of linear models in order to make predictions based on real-world data, and see how engineers address incredible and important design challenges through the use of linear modeling. Student groups act as engineering teams by conducting experiments to collect data and model the relationship between the wall thickness of the latex tubes and their corresponding strength under pressure (to the point of explosion). Students learn to graph variables with linear relationships and use collected data from their designed experiment to make important decisions regarding the feasibility of hydraulic systems in hybrid vehicles and the necessary tube size to make it viable.
