Through her narrative and video, you witness strategies and key ideas develop over time. Good instruction is integral to developing student thinking and learning and this resources provides a wide variety of easy-to-implement classroom activities that build children?s number sense and early computation skills.This resource was written in response to teacher requests. They wanted better insight into children?s mathematical development. This is the resource that will help them know: ?What does this child?s thinking tell me about what he or she understands?? ?Where does this child?s mathematical thinking lie on a framework of primary numeracy development?? ?What questions can I ask, or what activities can I do, to help this child move to the next phase??.

Potlatch as pedagogy : learning through ceremony

Davidson, Sara Florence, 1973-,


Two Working Together -- The Story of sk'ad'a -- "We Were Once Silenced" -- "Celebrating one more time in a way they knew how" -- "That Pole Doesn't Belong to You Anymore" -- Born "in the Nick of Time" -- Potlatch as Pedagogy. Banned for 67 years by the Canadian government, the potlatch, the foundational ceremony of the Haida people, determined social structure, transmitted cultural knowledge, and redistributed wealth. When these public ceremonies were revived in 1969 by the Elders who collectively remembered the historical ways, the potlatch was embraced by a new generation, who reclaimed practices that had almost been lost forever. Sara Florence Davidson, an educator, saw how these traditions, learned from her father, renowned artist Robert Davidson, could be integrated into contemporary educational practices. In this book, father and daughter present a model for learning that is holistic, relational, practical, and continuous.
