Global
Awareness, Local Action
Building Respect for
God’s Creation
2010
|
Intermediate |
This
project will help Grade
Seven students build
respect for God’s
creation by making
them aware
of environmental issues
around the world and
by participating in at
least one local
environmental protection
project.
Lessons
from seven different
curriculum areas can
be used in an
inter-disciplinary,
grade-wide, initiative
or teachers can use
individual lessons to
support environmental
initiatives in their own
classes. While this
project has been
developed for Grade
Seven, many of the
activities can be
easily adapted for
earlier and later grade
levels.
The
project is rooted in
four Catholic Graduation
Expectations. It
helps students see the
value of all life (CGE
1) and gives them the
opportunity to reflect
on their own values and
choices (CGE 4). The
project asks students to
collaborate in teams to
investigate issues (CGE
5) and develop attitudes
and initiatives that are
reflective of
responsible citizenship
(CGE 7). |

Restorative Practice -
A Primer for Catholic
School Communities
2010
|
Teacher
Resource |
With the
recent changes in the
Safe Schools
legislation, educators
are looking for new ways
to help manage problem
behaviours and support
students (both
perpetrators and
victims) with
intervention strategies
that help to provide
long term solutions.
The
intention of this
resource is to foster a
clearer understanding of
what Restorative Justice
is, how can it be
used,and when it is an
appropriate strategy. As
well, this document will
link the key components
of Restorative Justice
to theOntario Catholic
Graduate Expectations,
key Catholic themes and
to BILL 212
requirements. This is a
joint venture between
the Special Education
and Religious and Family
Life Education
departments. |

Affirming Catholic
Themes Through Mentor
Texts to Enrich Student
Writing
2010
|
Grade 1, 2 and 3 |
Affirming Catholic
Themes Through Mentor
Texts to Enrich Student
Writing was developed to
assist teachers with
teaching the traits of
writing while making
connections to Catholic
themes. This project has
its genesis in requests
from classroom teachers
for meaningful mentor
texts which would allow
for higher order
thinking and rich
writing opportunities.
Although these lessons
are organized according
to the traits of writing
and may be taught in
isolation for a
particular purpose, we
would like to remind
teachers of the
importance of quickly
integrating these
mini-lessons back into
the literacy block. The
traits of writing, the
writing process, and the
genres/forms/formats of
writing are
interconnected
components of effective
writing programs. This
primary writing project
has also placed a
greater emphasis on
connecting these lessons
to the purposes for
writing.
These anchor lessons are
not exhaustive in
nature, but rather, are
meant to provide
teachers with samples
showcasing how our
Catholic values can be
embedded in our daily
teaching. The hope is
that teachers would
continue to build on
these samples in order
to develop more powerful
writing programs. |

Online Catholic
Curriculum Framework -
Revised 2009 |
Teacher Resource |
One of the significant
themes presented by the
General Directory for
Catechesis (Sacred
Congregation for the
Clergy, Rome, 1997) is
the need for Catholic
educators to take every
advantage of the
contemporary insights of
the science of pedagogy.
As such, this tool,
Catholic Curriculum
Framework, embraces this
theme in its efforts to
create a meaningful
framework for classroom
teachers, which
integrates in a
comprehensive fashion,
the challenges of both
the Ministry of
Education curriculum
expectations and the
imperatives of our
Catholic faith. |

LESSON
PLANS FOR LITERACY:
ONTARIO WRITING
ASSESSMENT -Fall
2009 |
Teacher
Resource |
Overview
“Lesson Plans for
Literacy: The Ontario
Writing Assessment”
provides early, mid, and
end of year lesson plans
that are structured in
the same manner as those
found in the Ontario
Writing Assessment. This
project is a follow up
to the project
previously funded by the
EOCCC, “Lesson Plans for
Literacy: Linking PM
Benchmarks to Classroom
Strategies”, and “Lesson
Plans for Literacy:
Linking CASI to
Classroom Strategies”.
Each lesson plan in this
document follows the
Gradual Release of
Responsibility Model and
addresses one or more
expectations from both
the Ontario Reading
Curriculum and the
Catholic Graduate
Expectations (CGE’s).
For each lesson the most
obvious CGE’s have been
identified. Further
expectations can be
added based on the
resources, materials
and/or context in which
the lesson is delivered.
Each lesson also
provides suggestions for
differentiated
instruction. These
expectations can be
changed, modified or
expanded based on the
classroom circumstances.
Blackline masters, web
and print resources have
been identified or
developed for many of
the lessons. For your
convenience, blackline
masters follow the
lesson for which they
are to be used. |
