Professional Development Opportunities
Nelson Education is committed to providing support to teachers implementing
Ontario's new Science and Technology Curriculum. Nelson Education has
an inservice team of teacher workshop leaders led by full-time, seconded
science educators.
The Nelson Education Inservice Workshop model is typically a three-phase
process:
PHASE 1:
Initial
Implementation Workshop |
PHASE 2:
Assessment and Evaluation Workshop |
PHASE 3:
Customized Workshops |
| This workshop focuses on a general overview of the
curriculum and the instructional design of the Nelson Education
Science & Technology student and teacher resources. A hands-on
activity from the student text is always part of the workshop. |
This workshop helps teachers with planning using the
assessment tools in the Teacher's Resource binders (including the
Curriculum and Assessment Planning Chart, rubrics, checklists and
self-assessment tools). The goal of this workshop is to assist teachers
with maintaining a balance of instruction and assessment reflecting
the Ontario Achievement Levels. |
Through consultation with Science Consultants or divisional
chairpersons, Nelson Education delivers customized workshops that
reflect the specific needs of schools and school boards. Topics
for customized workshops might include: Evaluation and the Report
Card; Using Laboratory Equipment in the Classroom; Teaching Specialized
Topics (e.g., Optics). |
