This textbook will address: Developing curriculum through the planning cycle Theories that inform what we know about how children learn and the best ways for teachers to support learning The three components of developmentally appropriate practice Importance and value of play and intentional teaching Different models of curriculum Process of lesson planning (documenting planned experiences for children) Physical, temporal, and social environments that set the stage for children’s learning Appropriate guidance techniques to support children’s behaviors as the self-regulation abilities mature. Planning for preschool-aged children in specific domains including Physical development Language and literacy Math Science Creative (the visual and performing arts) Diversity (social science and history) Health and safety How curriculum planning for infants and toddlers is different from planning for older children Supporting school-aged children’s learning and development in out-of-school time through curriculum planning Making children’s learning visible through documentation and assessment7942019-11-17T17:26:23Z2024-03-04T14:18:53ZBad Ideas About Writing<img alt="Read more about Bad Ideas About Writing" title="Bad Ideas About Writing cover image" class="cover " width="576" height="864" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzUxLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--df5b0df79ff6418ffb094b9b3bec1701273ac9d4/978-0-9988820-0-0.png" />We intend this work to be less a bestiary of bad ideas about writing than an effort to name bad ideas and suggest better ones. Some of those bad ideas are quite old, such as the archetype of the inspired genius author, the five-paragraph essay, or the abuse of adjunct writing teachers. Others are much newer, such as computerized essay scoring or gamification. Some ideas, such as the supposed demise of literacy brought on by texting, are newer bad ideas but are really instances of older bad ideas about literacy always being in a cycle of decline. Yet the same core questions such as what is good writing, what makes a good writer, how should writing be assessed, and the like persist across contexts, technologies, and eras. The project has its genesis in frustration, but what emerges is hope: hope for leaving aside bad ideas and thinking about writing in more productive, inclusive, and useful ways.7822019-10-12T18:16:38Z2024-03-27T15:53:28ZSharing Our Knowledge: Best Practices for Supporting English Language Learners in Schools<img alt="Read more about Sharing Our Knowledge: Best Practices for Supporting English Language Learners in Schools" title="Sharing Our Knowledge: Best Practices for Supporting English Language Learners in Schools cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzQxLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--0591c2a40ec6032c5d195a9eaf6781177fc8cac5/0000ShaKnoEng.jpg" />To complete the course ECUR 415.3: Current Issues in EAL, students are required to submit a final paper that reflects their growing knowledge about English as an Additional Language (EAL). EAL is the term used in Saskatchewan to describe students who speak languages other than English and require adequate levels of English to be successful with the school curriculum. Most students enrolled in the online course ECUR 415 are practicing teachers who are working toward a Post-Degree Certificate in EAL Education (PDCEAL), while continuing to live and work in various locations both within and outside of the province. The certificate program, offered through the College of Education, University of Saskatchewan, is recognized by provincial education authorities as being equivalent to one full year of post-degree study. As such, the certificate equips teachers with the knowledge and expertise to be considered teacher-specialists of EAL Education. The course ECUR 415 also attracts some pre-service teachers who are pursuing a Bachelor of Education degree and have an interest in EAL Education.7182019-09-01T00:00:00Z2024-01-22T18:59:26ZTrauma-Informed School Practices: Building Expertise To Transform Schools<img alt="Read more about Trauma-Informed School Practices: Building Expertise To Transform Schools" title="Trauma-Informed School Practices: Building Expertise To Transform Schools cover image" class="cover " width="1275" height="1650" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzQ4LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--9b93af791518977a3f0469190620999372bcc082/trauma%20front%20cover.jpg" />This textbook represents the combined insight and experience of Morton, a k12 educator, and Berardi, a psychotherapist, both of whom are also university educators with extensive work experience serving districts and their teachers seeking to incorporate trauma-informed principles into their school culture and classroom. The authors identify that the field of education is now ready to deepen its level of response to the paradigm shift created by advances in neuroscience and traumatology. Hence, the primary focus is on identifying and applying trauma-informed educator competencies needed to transform districts, schools, educators, classrooms, and the field of education itself, while also including community members such as parents and board members in these processes - a total system makeover. At the conclusion of this text, the student, educator, or mental health professional will have a deeper understanding of what trauma-informed practice requires of them. This includes practical strategies on how to transform our learning communities in response to the devastating effect of unmitigated stress and trauma on our student's ability to learn and thrive throughout the lifespan.7402019-07-06T14:10:56Z2024-01-22T14:52:23ZWellbeing in Educational Contexts - Second Edition<img alt="Read more about Wellbeing in Educational Contexts - Second Edition" title="Wellbeing in Educational Contexts - Second Edition cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Njg1LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--9bcb95090bc770934f3b71f4277fe0c32b27cbf9/0000WelEduCon.jpg" />This text endeavours to focus on wellbeing promotion in educational contexts as schools and other educational contexts play a pivotal role in teaching students about nonviolence, promoting understanding of diversity, endowing people with a shared purpose and meaning and the skills and behaviours to create a more inclusive, healthy, and positive future.7242019-06-09T15:41:22Z2024-01-22T14:52:17ZCreating Online Learning Experiences<img alt="Read more about Creating Online Learning Experiences" title="Creating Online Learning Experiences cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjY4LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--0ac9014f5e860731018932a56fbf33d2e43ed946/9780989887816.jpg" />This book provides an updated look at issues that comprise the online learning experience creation process. As online learning evolves, the lines and distinctions between various classifications of courses has blurred and often vanished. Classic elements of instructional design remain relevant at the same time that newer concepts of learning experience are growing in importance. However, problematic issues new and old still have to be addressed. This handbook explores many of these topics for new and experienced designers alike, whether creating traditional online courses, open learning experiences, or anything in between.6962019-04-12T17:50:47Z2024-01-22T14:52:19ZOregon Writes Open Writing Text<img alt="Read more about Oregon Writes Open Writing Text" title="Oregon Writes Open Writing Text cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjQ1LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--81c03fb87f5330686595e3f1e55010fa7809f4ed/0000OreWriOWT.jpg" />This textbook guides students through rhetorical and assignment analysis, the writing process, researching, citing, rhetorical modes, and critical reading.

The textbook could also be used for non-flipped classroom designs, as the embedded videos, diagrams and linked modules would act as an all-in-one multimedia textbook geared towards multiple learning styles and disciplines. The components of the textbook, including the embedded videos, could be swapped in and out in order to accommodate a professor’s best idea of his/her own course design.6552019-01-24T17:59:41Z2024-03-25T13:11:10ZGuía Para Realizar Textos Abiertos Con Estudiantes<img alt="Read more about Guía Para Realizar Textos Abiertos Con Estudiantes" title="Guía Para Realizar Textos Abiertos Con Estudiantes cover image" class="cover " width="1042" height="1468" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NTk1LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--f96ce2823de1268e1470797e527042b6d6c194af/9781989014035.png" />¿Qué es la pedagogía abierta? ¿Cómo la están poniendo en práctica los profesores en sus aulas para construir textos abiertos y otros recursos educativos abiertos? ¿Cuáles son las ventajas de la pedagogía abierta?
