educator portal |
While it is heavily
subscription/membership driven, TeAchnology offers thousands of free
lesson plans, work sheets, organizers, rubrics and so on. In each section,
you’ll have to scroll down the page past the subscription info
to get to the really good free stuff – but it’s worth the
effort.

activity page |
Maintained by
Kevin Kearney and hosted by Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board,
Busy Bee provides a great list of back-to-school ideas, from name review
for remembering new students’ names to a first-day kit. The site
also includes classroom management tips, games, general activities and
special education.
This site offers
an extensive list of lesson plans – many presented from an unexpected
musical/arts perspective. For example, geometry is taught through dance.
It also provides more traditional lesson plans, such as landscape through
the camera, pioneer poems and many native education resources. Created
by the Royal Conservatory of Music, you can search the database by subject,
grade, province and language.
