We hope you had a great summer and a great first week back! Here we are again, and this time, we are online AND in person! Whether you are staying online, or making the return to the classroom, we hope you have a wonderful year ahead with your students.
Getting things organized at the start
of the school year can be a little overwhelming, but please remember to check the
email, and the instructor handbook that was sent out by Carolyn at the start of
September. There you will find everything you need from schedules, month end
reports, sending IT tickets, leave requests and MORE!
To help get your classes started this
year, be sure to check out the following:
Teacher /
Student Expectations for Online Learning
Registration
Instructions for Zoom
Needs
Assessment (CLB 3+) - (for online students)
Remember to keep track of your RWTs
and Skill Using Activities on the assessment tracking logs. Even
if you don’t have a formal assessment but you did a meaningful real world task
– use that as an artefact! For example, if your students did “Getting to know
you” interviews and introduced his/her classmate to the class – put it in the
log!
Here are just a few ideas for teaching
topics in September:
Lower Level – Alphabet review, Greetings, Numbers, Colours,
Calendar, the Classroom, Daily routines etc.
Higher Level - Getting to Know You,
Small Talk in Canadian Culture, Education in Canada, and Learning Styles etc.
A huge thank you to Kate for sharing
her lesson plans!
Remember to check out the updates from
Danielle about Avenue and Google Classroom.
Marina and I are always here to answer
any questions and offer help for your PBLA planning needs, so please feel free
to reach out! J
Have a wonderful September,
Haleema and Marina
