Key Resources
Key classroom print materials are listed in Appendix
C. Some of these are text-type materials;some are reference
materials. Consult the Bibliography also.
NOTE: It is suggested that teachers take the
opportunity to peruse these resources before ordering decisions are made.
-
Possible variations for textbook use:
- 1 copy of text A and 1 copy of text B for each
group of three students.
- 1 text A per student in one classroom plus one
text B per student in another classroom. Devise strategies to
exchange texts periodically.
- 1 text per 3 or 4 students plus copies of other
items, to create resource packages useable in groups for activities
where there is a designated reader, investigator/manipulator, and recorder/reporter.
- Teacher resource materials. All teacher editions
plus certain key supports from resource packages will be useful.
Questions to ask about resources
-
What kind of materials (print and nonprint) are
necessary to meet the objectives of the program? How can these
materials best be selected and used by educators and students alike?
- What resources do we already have in the school division?
- Are the learning resources readily available?
- Are sufficient resources available to teach the
program as intended?
