Demonstration Lessons Project K-3
Teachers from four districts - Red Deer Public, Red Deer Catholic, Chinook’s Edge and Wolf Creek - completed a very interesting collaborative video project that culminated in social studies demonstration lessons being videographed, in both French and English, within Central Alberta classrooms. District Curriculum contacts have distributed a copy of the DVD to each school in Zone 4.
These can be used as springboards for discussion, highlighting guiding principles and practices for K-3 teachers who are currently implementing the new Social Studies curriculum. These demonstration lessons can also act as models of instruction and a springboard for discussion for other grades that are implementing or preparing to implement the new program.
The web links below provide lesson material to support classroom practice. Many thanks to the teachers who participated in this pilot project.
