The concepts that underlie the fourth essential principle of climate literacy ("Climate varies over space and time through both natural and man-made processes.") are too complex for students in early and upper-level elementary school, but the foundational knowledge can be taught within existing curriculums and standards. This foundational knowledge will lead to understanding in later years. The author shows the correlation to the national science education standards, identifies misconceptions among elementary school students, suggests formative assessment probes, and identifies lessons and activities to make curriculum connections. The free, online magazine Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle is based on the seven essential principles of the climate sciences.

Este guia prático ensina o passo-a-passo para a construção da Cortina Térmica Sustentável. Ela foi feita com material de descarte da merenda escolar, caixa de leite, e reutilizado para construir a cortina, que tem como função refletir a luz solar para fora da sala e amenizar o calor interno. Foi um resultado promissor e que resolveu um problema coletivo escolar e ambiental. Tem fácil replicação e com custo baixo. Ganhou premiação na MILSET BRASIL em Fortaleza e depois credencial internacional para se apresentar na Expo - Sciences International - ESI 2019, em Abu Dhabi, nos Emirados Árabes.Foi um produto Educacional resultante da pesquisa de mestrado da autora, Giselly Alencar, com Orientação da professora Valéria Sandra de Oliveira Costa e Patrícia Smith Cavalcante e com colaboração do professor Marcelo Cairrão Araujo Rodrigues - UFPE. 

The Digital Dexterity framework for library professionals originated at a workshop facilitated by Helen Beetham in Sydney in January 2019 (attended by over 70 library professionals from across Australia and New Zealand). The workshop outcomes were subsequently refined by a group of library professionals “Digital Dexterity champions” – as such this is a framework developed by library professionals for library professionals.

Welcome to the UnboundEd Mathematics Guide series! These guides are designed to explain what new, high standards for mathematics say about what students should learn in each grade, and what they mean for curriculum and instruction. This guide, the first for Kindergarten, includes three parts. The first part gives a “tour” of the standards for Counting & Cardinality using freely available online resources that you can use or adapt for your class. The second part shows how Counting & Cardinality relate to classification of objects in Kindergarten (K.MD.B). And the third part explains where Counting & Cardinality is situated in the progression of learning in Grades K-2. Throughout all of our guides, we include a large number of sample math problems. We strongly suggest tackling these problems yourself to help best understand the methods and strategies weÂ’re covering, and the potential challenges your students might face.Â

This course accessibility matrix template, designed to help assess the accessibility of courses in the University of Edinburgh’s Learn virtual learning environment, was informed by the WCAG criteria and University policy​. ​It focuses both on the course and the materials uploaded to it, in particular popular formats (e.g. MS Office documents) and aspects of their accessibility which are readily adjustable, for instance formatting of text, formatting of documents etc.​ The matrix takes the form of a series of questions, objective where possible, the answers to which are standardised.

Course outline for a graduate-level, online asynchronous course that examines the concept of culture and its manifestation in schools and communities, with an emphasis on dual language/bilingual classrooms in the U.S. The map includes course objectives, a reading list, and weekly topics with associated readings, activities, and assignments.

Course map for a fully online course that examines multiculturalism in the context of personal and professional interaction with students, schools, communities, and workplaces. Includes learning objectives, activities, assignments, assessments, and readings, as well as links to additional resources and course materials.

This is a course map for an online skill course on Attention to Detail. Kindly follow the conditions of use appropriately. The course can be taken asynchronously or synchronously and can also be hosted on an LMS with collaboration features.

CG 111A Study Skills for College Learning

Exploring College, College Resources, Learning Styles

Provides information, techniques, strategies and skills helpful in becoming more efficient in note taking, textbook reading, and taking exams. Includes identification of preferred learning style and development of skills in scheduling study time, library research, memory strategies and critical thinking.

Goal 1: Modify the adopted OER with additional learning materials to make it more customized for my specific course and learning objectives.

Goal 2: Transform the weekly “disposable assignment” to be more meaningful for student learning.

Goal 3: Re-design the final class project to be more inclusive of student experiences/voices/opinions, and eventually make this a “legacy project” to be shared with future class sections.

This Course Review and Approval Tool (CRAT) is the “workbook” that faculty use to design and plan their course with best practice in mind that addresses: curricular alignment with objectives, learning activities, practice assignments and quizzes, and higher-stakes assessments. The 10-tabbed spreadsheet is a digital multitool that centralizes and aggregates the entire course development, review, and approval processes. This tool is used to plan the course prior to its build in the Learning Management System (LMS) as part of an eight-module LMS-based support course that steps faculty through the process and gives them a learner-based perspective on how the tools work together and the features available to them for use in their own courses.

In addition to facilitating communication with multiple stakeholders who may share the document, the process MODELS a self- and peer-reviewed authentic assessment strategy that adapts itself well to any curriculum, whether for training, orientation, or credit-bearing coursework. It supports and models features of an intersection of agile design, backward design, and reflective practice in addition to encouraging authentic and formative assessment strategies. Providing all necessary documents in one easily accessed and bookmarkable document facilitates the process of course development by providing both a model and a touchstone for faculty who are often overwhelmed with the complexity of the process of developing or redeveloping courses regardless of delivery modality. While most of our faculty came to the program because of requirements for online or hybrid learning, most have exclaimed happily that they now apply this process to all of their courses and their learners have shown appreciation for the clarity and consistency that the tool promotes and supports.

The document also includes a dynamic link to future updates for anyone who adopts it and wants to follow its evolution. Feel free to adapt!

The Drake Equation relates to many important lessons for students. While the math/science implications are obvious, there are philosophical implications that are also important for students. This Socratic Seminar offers points of departure for critical thinking, debates, writing assignments, and further class discussion. (These points can also be used as lecture notes.)

This article introduces a free online collection of images, video clips, and animations that teachers can use in creating resources for use with students. The four steps in creating a video clip, an animation, or other resource are presented.

Infographics have become popular. One reason is that you can visually display information. I am encouraging you to create an infographic about your informational interview. This provides some examples.
