It Gets Cold in Yellowknife: Standard 6.NS.6 Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
This formative assessment exemplar was created by a team of Utah educators to be used as a resource in the classroom. It was reviewed for appropriateness by a Bias and Sensitivity/Special Education team and by state mathematics leaders. While no assessment is perfect, it is intended to be used as a formative tool that enables teachers to obtain evidence of student learning, identify assets and gaps in that learning, and adjust instruction for the two dimensions that are important for mathematical learning experiences (i.e., Standards for Mathematical Practice, Major Work of the Grade).

The secondary supplemental mathematics course is designed to provide just-in-time,
customized support for students during the school day who would benefit from extra scaffolded
instruction in addition to their core mathematics course.

This is a kindergarten student science experience tied to SEEd standard K.1.2. In this experience students obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the effects of weather on human behavior.
These experiences were designed to support students in engaging in science investigations with siblings and/or parents at home and then report back about what was discovered. They were created in a way that is easily adaptable for both online and printed formats. They are formatted to help students wonder about and investigate the science phenomena happening in the world around them. These experiences do not describe how students should write up and return work to their teacher. It is up to each teacher to adapt them to best meet student needs. When individualized by the teacher, a student could be asked to engage in one or more of these experiences a week and report back. This format aligns closely to the vision and expectation of the SEEd standards.

This is a kindergarten student science experience tied to SEEd standard K.2.1. In this experience students obtain and communicate information about what plants and animals including humans need to survive.

The National Reading Panel (2000) identified five key critical areas for efective reading instruction. This guide will help you help your child get better at each of the literacy skills so they can become great readers and writers. You have an important role in this process. This guide gives you some ideas for activities to do with your child at home to help them become better readers. The ideas include detailed descriptions for evidence-based activities and supports as well as a template for practice at home. In addition, to lear more about the critical areas of reading instructon, use the QR codes.

A high school teacher describes an assignment in which students study the histories and social reception of words (in some cases considered obscenities) used to insult people of various social categories. Students come to recognize the powerful, sometimes damaging effects of language, enabling them to fight those effects intellectually. Many derogatory terms are cited as examples in this essay.
