Learning does not have to happen solely within the four walls of the classroom. This session will explore a multitude of experiential science learning opportunities you can do with your students! From simple, community excursions for a class block, land-based literacy opportunities with Indigenous Elders, to fully immersive overnight adventures. This session will provide multiple ideas and resources that will allow your students to construct knowledge and understanding of science in practical ways.
How much information are your students getting from standard grading practices? Does a traditional "percentage" grade really tell us which learning outcomes a student has mastered? Even when we want to make adjustments, it can seem overwhelming and scary, especially with changing curricula, increased demands and parental expectations of what indicates student success. So how do we make the transition from what we've always done to what we want to do? This session will share ideas and resources for tracking student progress, setting up an outcome based gradebook and reporting achievements that communicates learning to students and parents efficiently and effectively.
