One of the most popular and effective ways Canadian schools encourage and support family literacy is through a “borrow-a-book” program where classroom library books go home with children on a regular basis throughout the school year. Until December 31, 2012, Curriculum Plus will offer a 50% discount on all titles purchased for use in your school’s borrow-a-book initiative, subject to the following conditions:

The first 250 schools whose applications are accepted will qualify for the special discount. An application consists of

1. the school’s name and complete address, phone number and email address, 
2. a contact name, and 
3.  a brief description of how the borrow-a-book program is conducted in your school.

   Submissions should be sent, via email, to john.merchant@curriculumplus.ca. The names of all successful applicants will be announced on our Web site at: www.curriculumplus.ca

Each qualifying school may purchase up to a maximum of $2,000.00 ($4,000.00 catalogue price) until December 31, 2012. This amount does not include HST/GST or shipping and handling.
This special offer is open to individual schools only and may not be used by school districts, book bureaus or book resellers.
This offer cannot be combined with other special discounts/offers.
Curriculum Plus reserves the right to quote from successful applicants submissions in its marketing promotions.

Happy Reading! The Crew at Flying Start Books

St. Paul’s Academy, which is part of Christ The Redeemer Catholic Schools, located in Alberta recently wrote a blog post about the benefits SoftChalk is providing to their students. From increased interactivity, memorable lessons and fast communication through to mobile access… it’s worth taking a look at SoftChalk.

Patti Walker will talking to educators during the month of October about the implementation of Interactive White Boards in the classroom. As well as taking part in a National Panel discussion in Calgary, she will be talking with teachers across the country about their IWB experiences.

Discussions will include:

1. the penetration and distribution of IWBs in the classrooms, schools, districts
2. the efficacy of the IWB training
3. teachers’ ongoing use of IWBs, post-training (identifying barriers, if any)
4. the availability/quality of published content which meets curriculum expectations
5. the assessment of quality of teacher-created IWB lessons

A survey will also be undertaken across Canada during the month of October to gain more insight into the effectiveness of these teaching tools.
