We have added a sub-section to Teacher Resources entitled Classroom Tools.  Here we have regrouped tools which are often requested by teachers but are not specific to one course.  In this section, we have also added some new tools that have been shared with us by teachers in the network including:
  • Contact information for two teachers who have made diagnostic tools and are happy to share them with other centres
  • Digital versions of the Student Follow-up Booklets that can be used when teaching with learning situations.  These booklets are also great for online teaching!
 
Thankyou to Lori Abrams, Julie Noiseux and Michel Vigneau for sharing!​​​​
In the Courses section, we have added general information about the four optional courses: ANG 4104, ANG 5104, ANG 5105 and ANG 5106.  Please note that the DDEs, protoype exams and evaluation grids are not yet available for these courses.

Welcome back to a new, and surely different, school year!
