Inquiry-Based Buddies and Collaborators
Area(s) of Focus: kindergarten, technologyLevel(s): Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8Resource(s) Available:Older students will model their skills/ideas for younger students which empowers them and builds a caring and responsible culture of learners throughout our school. Younger students have much more one-to-one support and personal/timely feedback.

Bringing Douglas Clements’ Math Learning Trajectories to Life Part 2B
Level(s): Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5, Grade 6Resource(s) Available:We dug deeply into the Spatial Thinking chapter of Clements’ book, Learning and Teaching Early Math. We broke up the trajectory even further in order to make it even easier for teachers to use to help move their students through their math thinking.

Examining and Exploring Assessment and Evaluation Within a Problem-Based and Spiralling Framework
This action research was developed to use learning maps, learning goals and success criteria to direct student’s regulation of learning. We developed assessment and evaluation tools that encourage a growth mindset (such as math games).
