This
resource is a collection
of lesson plans
developed to support the

which correspond with
our Catholic themes.

Catholic Curriculum
Framework |
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. |

Recorder, Grade 4
(Developed 2006) |

Every
child, in every
elementary school, has
the potential for
successful, meaningful
interactions with music.
The development of this
potential through
numerous encounters with
music and abundant
opportunities to
participate regularly in
developmentally
appropriate music
activities is the right
of every child.
Research
shows the importance of
elementary music
education in brain
development. A solid
foundation in reading
music notation develops
thinking skills,
language skills and
self-esteem. Many
elementary teachers are
generalists. The
language of music
requires some
specialized knowledge.
This DVD assists the
teacher using a music
specialist as a
resource. The teacher
can use the DVD in two
ways: As a personal
tutor prior to teaching
a grade 4 class or as an
instruction tool within
the classroom
environment. Teachers
and students are able to
go through the program
together, or
individually. The
teacher can be assured
that their music program
is enhanced by the
experience of a music
specialist. Ontario

Literacy: Strategies for
Success for Grades 3-6
(Developed 2003) |
3-6 |
Literacy: Strategies for
Success is a practical,
user-friendly CD that
was developed to assist
teachers in learning
techniques to maximize
the outcomes and
effectiveness of their
literacy programs. It
can be used as an
individual or group
learning tool.
The CD
contains six strategies
that teachers can use to
develop the literacy
skills of students: 1.
Literature Circles 2.
Self-selected Reading 3.
Reading Aloud 4. Graphic
Organizers 5. Developing
Vocabulary 6. Modeling
These
strategies were chosen
for their adaptiveness
to all students and
grades. They are equally
useful and successful
for primary, junior, and
intermediate students.
In addition, these
strategies can be used
by all teachers,
including F.S.L. and
Special Education
teachers, and in all
subject areas. The
advantage of this
easy-to-use CD is that
it is accessible to all
teachers regardless of
location, subjects
taught, or
learning/teaching
styles. Teachers can
view the implementation
of literacy skills in
the classroom that are
built on a sound
knowledge base. They can
observe the teaching
practices of colleagues,
the teachers on the CD
video clips, and in
written format.
