In Nova Scotia’s Action Plan for Education 2015, The 3 R’s: Renew Refocus Rebuild, there is a commitment to Nova Scotians to enhance inclusive education. One action in the plan called for the establishment of provincial criteria for the development of an IPP. The criteria have been developed and embedded in TIENET.
The provincial criteria, described in this Video Scribe, will ensure that an IPP is the most appropriate programming for the student and that evidence exists to substantiate the decision to develop an IPP and that meaningful communication with parents and guardians has occurred.
The Hour of Code is a designated opportunity where people all over the world participate in computer science activities during a specific week. Students can work individually or collaboratively in groups or teams, teachers can participate along with their students. The online activities in the Hour of Code support many curricular connections but also promote problem solving, critical thinking, and logic. This video is a look at several Nova Scotia classrooms who participated in December 2014 and the rich learning opportunities this learning provided to students.
