Educators Toolbox-https://www.infohio.org/educators/eptools/curriculum-toolbox
The Curriculum Toolbox is a resource for teachers and school staff. Each toolbox curates a topic of instructional interest in education today. Inside the toolbox you will find INFOhio resources, websites, webinars, articles and more on topics such as Third Grade Reading Guarantee, College and Career Readiness, Instructional Bags, Digital Literacy and many others. (Great STEM for 4-5)
Find all of INFOhio's instructional "bags" here. The Back to School Bags and Blizzard Bags are meant for teachers to use with their classes. The Beach Bags are tailored for parents to use with their children, but teachers will still find activities appropriate for the classroom.
Common Core Standards call for students to “read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it.”
The new standards call for students to read more informational text and literary nonfiction. Many of the resources from INFOhio like EBSCOhost databases and World Book are great sources for informational text.
INFOhio has many resources that are excellent for working on foundational and reading skills to meet the 3rd grade reading guarantee.
As part of the standards, students must analyze the structure of text with increasingly difficult and complex text. Many of the INFOhio resources provide Lexile levels with help on text complexity.
Webinars-https://www.infohio.org/educators/pd/lwi/
The Learn with INFOhio webinar home page is the place to start to find current and archived webinars. The schedule for 2015-16 will be released in August, but here are three things to always remember about the webinars.
1. They are always recorded and searchable on the website.
2. After the end of the webinar, certificates of attendance are available once you have completed a 5 question quiz.
3. The webinar powerpoint is always available and is a good resource for helping add information to your own presentations. Always be sure to credit the webinar author!
