Se aplicó un pre test para diagnosticar su comprensión de textos, luego una propuesta experimental basada en la estrategia los momentos de la lectura de Isabel Solé y un post test para determinar los efectos. Se demostró estadísticamente que la aplicación de esta estrategia permite mejorar significativamente la comprensión lectora en el nivel literal, inferencial y crítico. Esto se fundamenta porque en el pre test la mayoría de estudiantes alcanzó calificaciones inferiores a 10 (escala vigesimal); pero, en el post test la mayoría superó este promedio en estos niveles. En el calculó se evidenció que existen diferencias significativas entre las puntuaciones del pre y post test de 6,6 puntos p < 0,05.12102023-07-26T21:26:12Z2023-08-02T15:47:04ZMethods of Teaching Early Literacy<img alt="Read more about Methods of Teaching Early Literacy" title="Methods of Teaching Early Literacy cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Nzg4NiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--ff5538aa276db4e0f30b31027274e434f12c1780/OER_Early-Literacy-Cover-350x453.png" />This textbook covers theories, teaching strategies, and instructional materials pertinent to teaching reading and writing in grades PK-3, with an emphasis on integrating reading, writing, speaking, and listening, as well as integration across content areas while addressing diversity and inclusion.11362022-02-19T18:21:53Z2024-01-22T14:52:30ZTeaching Early and Elementary STEM<img alt="Read more about Teaching Early and Elementary STEM" title="Teaching Early and Elementary STEM cover image" class="cover " width="116" height="150" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzM5NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--e23fc1add7061ad036abacb0202722ba8ae74c7f/thumbnail%20(5).jpg" />This Open Access Educational textbook, "Teaching Early and Elementary STEM", was written to support pre-service early childhood and elementary teachers in their journey to become facilitators of science, technology, engineering, and math, or “STEM,” and "integrated STEM" in their future classrooms. Students who read and use this text will deepen their understanding of “STEM” and “integrated STEM,” learn what early childhood and elementary students need to know and be able to do in relation to STEM, and understand ways to create activity plans and implement current research-based approaches to teaching and pedagogy. This text arose out of our Early/Elementary STEM Collaboration project, which started in 2017 with the intention of increasing the quality of teacher preparation in STEM across early childhood and elementary education. The team is composed of math and science education professors, classroom in-service teachers, and pre-service teachers in pre-school through fifth grade. We are driven by the values of collaboration, strengths-based approaches to teaching and learning, constructivist philosophy of teaching and learning, and applied STEM experiences to increase access and equity. Our model of preparing pre-service teachers has been published elsewhere in more detail (Robertson, Nivens, & Lange, 2019). We built this open access product to include the following: 1) completely new content that includes input from our team as well as examples of integrated STEM learning experiences; 2) adaptations of existing resources, and; 3) compilations of existing free resources (e.g., Next Generation Science Standards).10512021-08-30T08:00:57Z2024-01-25T22:44:02ZTeaching Math for Emergent Bilinguals: Building on Culture, Language, and Identity<img alt="Read more about Teaching Math for Emergent Bilinguals: Building on Culture, Language, and Identity" title="Teaching Math for Emergent Bilinguals: Building on Culture, Language, and Identity cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mjc5NywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--7d59bdd8b8b7fe4c98960b7058f971d065f8dffd/I-TeachingMath-Cover3-v2-350x453.png" />This book is designed for pre-service/in-service teachers and others who will work or work with K–12 students who have linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds, especially students of other languages (English language learners/Emergent bilingual/multilingual). The core concept of this course is helping teachers understand the needs of various Emergent Bilinguals (a.k.a. English language learners (ELLs)/English Learners (ELs), learn to use their language and culture as a resource in mathematics classrooms and implement research-based instructional strategies that are effective to teach mathematics for Emergent Bilinguals.10392021-08-16T17:08:55Z2024-01-22T14:52:26ZBuilding Democracy for All: Interactive Explorations of Government and Civic Life<img alt="Read more about Building Democracy for All: Interactive Explorations of Government and Civic Life" title="Building Democracy for All: Interactive Explorations of Government and Civic Life cover image" class="cover " width="323" height="500" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjczNSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--c11d4a5059f7993c652db4f9ed25feb70fd81d7f/110_md_01-31-2020_132914.jpg" />Designed as a core or supplementary text for upper elementary, middle and high school teachers and students, Building Democracy for All offers instructional ideas, interactive resources, multicultural content, and multimodal learning materials for interest-building explorations of United States government as well as students’ roles as citizens in a democratic society. It focuses on the importance of community engagement and social responsibility as understood and acted upon by middle and high school students—core themes in the 2018 Massachusetts 8th Grade Curriculum Framework, and which are found in many state history and social studies curriculum frameworks around the country. Building Democracy for All has been developed by a collaborative writing team of higher education faculty, public school teachers, educational librarians, and college students who are preparing to become history and social studies teachers. The primary editors and curators are from the University of Massachusetts Amherst College of Education. Contributing teachers come from school districts in the Connecticut River valley region of western Massachusetts (Amherst, Gateway, Westfield, Hampshire Regional, and Springfield). As an open resource, the book is being revised constantly by the members of the writing team to ensure timely inclusion of online resources and information.9552021-01-31T00:50:51Z2024-01-22T14:52:23ZExploring Physical Phenomena<img alt="Read more about Exploring Physical Phenomena" title="Exploring Physical Phenomena cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjAxNiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--aed0975dc05f7fc3458856302cfba58f6145c5d3/Title-Page_ExploringPhysicalPhynomena-350x453.jpg" />This course is intended for prospective and practicing elementary and middle school teachers. By exploring physical phenomena in class, you will learn science in ways in which you are expected to teach science in schools or in informal settings such as afterschool programs, youth group meetings, and museum workshops. This course also is appropriate for general science students and others interested in exploring some of the physical phenomena underlying global climate change. The theme for the course is: What happens when light from the Sun shines on the Earth? The emphasis is on questioning, predicting, exploring, observing, discussing, reading, and writing about what one thinks and why. This first unit focuses on exploring the nature of light phenomena. Among the unit’s many goals are two primary ones: to learn about light phenomena and to learn about ways to foster science learning for yourself and others such as your family, friends, and students.9362020-11-30T23:16:34Z2024-03-14T16:59:49ZTrauma Informed Behaviour Support: A Practical Guide to Developing Resilient Learners<img alt="Read more about Trauma Informed Behaviour Support: A Practical Guide to Developing Resilient Learners" title="Trauma Informed Behaviour Support: A Practical Guide to Developing Resilient Learners cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="559" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTc4OSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--0d2886e738c108df9c1445b7b588da6de40068f0/TIBS_BOOKCOVER-002-350x559.png" />If we want to impact the world of children who have experienced trauma then we must change not only ourselves and our classroom, but we must change our schools, our organisations, and our systems of care for children. We must all speak out for these children who have no voice to bring awareness of new educational and mental health approaches to children who will become tomorrow’s failed adults unless they receive our understanding and our help. For whatever reason you have been attracted to this book, you have come to the right place. You may at times put it down and wonder if the challenge is too great, but trust me it is not. If you stay engaged with this book and with a child who has experienced trauma then you will learn new understandings, new ideas and new ways to reach the mind, the heart and the soul of young people who need our support and our love.9142020-09-27T01:44:41Z2024-01-22T14:52:12ZParenting and Family Diversity Issues<img alt="Read more about Parenting and Family Diversity Issues" title="Parenting and Family Diversity Issues cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="458" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTU4MiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--03f3d0cb00bcd8275d2678e905fbeae39c9d203c/familyparet.png" />This book has been created for students and all individuals who work with children and families (e.g., educators, parents, caregivers, direct support workers, etc.) in diverse contexts. It is imperative to understand how and what factors may influence child outcomes across the lifespan. Therefore, key concepts related to parenting, child-rearing, care-giving, and parenting education are outlined in this textbook to provide historical, theoretical, and practical perspectives across vast settings and developmental domains.7822019-10-12T18:16:38Z2024-01-22T14:52:11ZSharing 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="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="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.
