Professional Development Opportunities
Nelson Education is committed to providing support to teachers implementing
Ontario's new Science curriculum through an extensive inservice program.
Full-time educators on staff, plus a team of teacher inservice leaders,
are ready to assist users of Nelson Science 10.
The Nelson 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 Science
10 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 Science Achievement Chart categories. |
Through consultation with Science Consultants, Subject
Area Chairs or Department Heads, Nelson Education delivers customized
workshops that reflect the specific needs of schools and school
boards. Topics for customized workshops might include: Teaching
the Grade 10 Motion Unit; Teaching the Grade 10 Weather Unit; Evaluation
and the Report Card; Using Laboratory Technology in the Classroom;
and Implementing the Applied Course. |
