Shared+Work

The intention of this space is to have school divisions network together to share work they are doing related to curriculum. Because the curriculum is a provincially based initiative, we think it would be beneficial to share our thinking and products.

With this in mind, Prairie South School Division has developed a set of rubrics for the grade one ELA curriculum. A group of teachers, under the guidance of Bill Prentice from SkL, have developed a rubric for each strand for each of 3 reporting terms in a school year. The team is presently 'test driving' the rubrics. We hope the team will agree to share the rubrics by late fall -- when they will have used them for all reporting terms.

Members of the grade one team and Joyleen Orescanin, Curriculum Consultant along with Bill Prentice are guiding a grade 2 team to develop their set of grade 2 ELA rubrics.

Jan Chell, Prairie Valley and her team have offered to develop the grade 7 products. Cathy Herrick and her team have offered to develop the grade 6 products. Both groups are attending the next session with Prairie South on April 26 in Moose Jaw to observe the process.

Our hope is that this work will be aligned throughout the ELA curriculum across the grades.

If folks in your school division have been working on some developments, we would love you to share them so other school divisions may also benefit from your work.

Two underlying assumptions are:
 * work posted will be open to scrutiny, challenge and dialogue from others
 * all interested parties are invited to participate - SkLearning, school divisions, STF, SSBA, LEADS, education organizations. In fact, we believe the more inclusion, the better.

Please feel free to add to this space, share your work and help us build a community of learners directly related to Sk curriculum.

Joyful learning!
