Welcome Back!

Here we are, another school year about to start. But this time, we are starting (staying) ONLINE! It's been a whirlwind of new challenges and experiences as we've been settling into teaching in the cyber world!

Not to worry, we've got you covered. Well, at least with links to new resources, teacher tips, and teacher created activities and worksheets that we can all share and explore during our online classes this fall....winter....spring? ........maybe summer? 

Make sure to send your LEADS (Carolyn or Haleema - we will miss you Marcella!) an email with useful link(s) you've come across or feel absolutely free to write a blog post - whether it's PBLA related or not, we will post everything at the end of the month so we can keep this blog running as the "hub" for some of our teaching needs.

To help get your classes started this year, be sure to check out the following:

Teacher / Student Expectations for Online Learning (recommended to send before class starts so that you can review in the first class!)

Registration Instructions for Zoom 

How to Open Google Classroom

Needs Assessment (CLB 1-2)

Needs Assessment (CLB 3+) - (you can access SharePoint via this blog for lower levels)

Needs Assessment (Advanced)

When you're ready, and only when...keep track of your RWTs and  Skill Using Activities on the newly formatted Assessment Tracking Logs below (you can either print out and record or type right on it)

Avenue (Yes, people....it's here....and after my meltdown about it, I've decided to embrace it for what it is. Believe it or not, it's been rumoured to be an easier way to deliver and collect PBLA artifacts...more on that later!) - See sidebar for easy access


Wishing everyone a successful and rewarding 2020 - 2021 school year!
