This 2-part video is intended to be used as a teaching supplement for those involved in teaching in and management of a wood production laboratory with the Technology Education program in Nova Scotia public schools. The material within the video component is designed to correspond to the Operations and Maintenance manual and daily, weekly, monthly checks as required by the Fire Marshall’s office. The intent of this video and powerpoint presentation is to provide pre-training background for participants to review prior to the commissioning process of a dust collector. In addition, it also serves to provide training information for those individuals who may be new to teaching in or cleaning a production technology space.

Nova Scotia Examination - English 10 Information Webinar
Today's educators face the difficult task of meeting the needs of diverse classrooms that include children who have been affected by war, violent conflict and trauma. The psychosocial needs of war-affected children who resettle in Canada can be intense, complicated, and can require a sensitive and individualized approach. Trauma can have multiple consequences on children that are not easily understood. Children who have experienced trauma are often labelled as disruptive, defiant, and at high risk of dropping out. When appropriate supports are in place, it is possible for children to recover from trauma. Working from a trauma informed perspective is a valuable approach to teaching that helps to ease the transition of these students into our classrooms, increasing the possibility of a successful Canadian transition. This webinar draws from qualitative research conducted in Canada and oversees that examines best practices in supporting the psychosocial needs of refugee students as a means of supporting successful integration into our schools and communities.
Key takeaways from this webinar will include:
1. Working from a trauma-informed perspective
2. Building capacity in newcomer students - Effects of trauma and interrupted learning and helping newcomer students that have suffered trauma and violence in their lives
3. Building a culturally responsive space and classroom
4. Lesson plans to assist and build capacity in classroom teachers

We all know that engaging students in authentic learning experiences is important; that it is crucial to a meaningful education…but what does that look like? (and how do I know it’s working?)
In this webinar teachers can learn some practical strategies for authentic engagement through inquiry. Best practices for gathering evidence of student learning and assessment, and how to report this type of learning will be discussed and shared. Teachers of all subjects are encouraged to join us with an open mind, ready to discuss and experience…and engage!
