Websites
This website, by the Buck Institute for Education (BIE), is a tremendous resource! BIE is a leader in Project Based Learning (PBL). They put on regular workshops for teachers who are looking to become better at S.I. Navigate this site as you want to. I recommend clicking the ‘Resources’ tab at the top, where you’ll find EVERYTHING from research and rubrics to handouts and S.I./PBL lessons! Take a look!

This is the Ontario Ministry of Education website. Here you can kind all sorts of information, on everything ‘education’. A lot of the content I used to make this website, I received from here. Everything from S.I., improving math/literacy, self-regulation, student voice – EVERYTHING. If you want to improve as a teacher, and build a great learning environment, there is a wealth of knowledge in this resource. Take a look!

EduGAINS is another great web-resources. EduGAINS is a website that houses ministry developed resources to support policies and programs related to improved learning and teaching - Kindergarten to Grade 12 - in Ontario schools. It has resources for all kinds of subject matter, for all grade levels. They also have different kinds of lesson plans that you can use, or build off of to get things started in your classroom. Take a look!

Teacher-pay-Teachers is a great resource to tap into. You can get a lot of free resources here such as printouts, plans, and ideas! If you want even more access to even better resources, there is a membership fee. I mainly use it like Pinterest - seeing ideas, and getting free stuff if I can!
