Ed • Ms. Dee –Literacy & History (Term 2), Science, Health, The Arts • Mrs. O’Neill – Music (Day 5) • Mr. Charron – French (4, 50 min periods)

  4. Keeping Organized • Suggestions for binders  one for each teacher, divided by subject (see examples) • Nightly check in time (organize papers, handouts) and review website & homework tracking system • http://teacherweb.com/ON/OdessaPublicSchool/ChallengeProgram/apt1.aspx • How to get there: • Link off Odessa Website • Scan QR Code • Google Ms. Morlog/Ms. Dee Teacher Web

  5. Homework Tracking Systems • Students will have the ability to select a system that works best for them • This can be traditional (agenda) or electronic • Students must select a system, and both the student and parents will sign off on the selection • Reliance on the website won’t build the learning skills that are important for their futures in school and beyond • Self tracking helps to build personal responsibility, time management and organizational skills

  6. Homework Tracking Systems Choices are: • A traditional agenda • Calendar built into an electronic device (cell phone; ipod; iPad ect) • my Homework Students Planner app (iPhone, iPad, Android phone, web, kindle) https://myhomeworkapp.com/ • Other

  7. Keeping Organized & Time Management • Keep a home calendar to keep track of homework, assignments, and major term projects • Make a nightly time for homework to create a routine • Break down assignments and major term projects into manageable chunks (We will do this too! Check in points; rough copy dates ect.)

  8. Homework & Major Projects • Daily homework in all subjects • Testing “Flipped Classroom Model” in Math • Homework is checked daily • Assignments/projects that will be assessed for reporting • Enrichment Projects (some not all) • Challenge For Change - Social Justice & Sustainability • Genius Hour • FLASF Science Fair • Heritage Fair

  9. Assessments • In order to keep parents aware of the child’s progress and achievement we require students to get all assessments signed my a parent/guardian • Students each have a folder in Ms. Dee’s and Ms. Morlog’s room. • Folders will be sent home with assessed work and must be returned with a signature and a spot for comments/questions • This will help to avoid any surprises at reporting time!

  10. Assessment & Growth Mindset • Over the past year, students and staff across LDSB have been focusing on the concept of Growth Mindset • We are teaching and learning about the brain, and the research behind why mindset has a lot to do with a person's success and achievement.

  11. Assessment & Growth Mindset

  12. Assessment & Growth Mindset • In particular, we want students see feedback (on assessments) as learning not simply comments that are attached “to a mark” Growth Mindset Video • So you and your child might not always see a “final mark” but you will always see: • Established learning goals • Success Criteria • Rubrics • Lots of written and oral feedback!

  13. Technology In The Classroom • OPS and the intermediate division has adopted “Bring It” – Bring Your Own Device (lap top, iPod, iPhone, iPad, tablet ect.) • This is not a requirement, and students will have access to program computers, netbooks, and our growing bank of iPads • We may ask for FREE EDUCATIONAL APPS to be downloaded that will be used during instruction • QR Code Scanner • Socrative Student

  14. Field Trips & Enrichment Opportunities • Wesley Acres (Bloomfield) • Outdoor Education, Science, Drama and The Arts • Challenge Year End Trip (Niagara Falls / Quebec City) • Language, History, Geography, Science • Skating (Amherstview) • Physical Education • Science Fair/Historica Fair (Kingston) • Science/History • Visual Arts Workshops • Wolfgang Pierbauer • Specialized Physical Education & Dance Workshops • Ex. Zumba, Yoga

  15. Field Trips, Enrichment, & Twitter • We have a Twitter account! • We tweet curriculum activities, homework reminders, organizational tips (ex. instrument, gym clothes, return forms) • We also tweet from trips so that parents/guardians can see what we are doing in close to “real time”! • It also helps to communicate our ETA! • Twitter Account - @OPSChallenge • https://twitter.com/OPSChallenge
