These great new books at the OISE Library each explore the notion that a complete education involves more than just sitting in a classroom!
In Out of the classroom and into the world : learning from field trips, educating from experience, and unlocking the potential of our students and teachers (2011), the author explores how field trips and experiential learning can provide students with a more dynamic education. This resource also includes informative photos to illustrate how connections and a sense of community can be fostered through this type of engaged learning. (Call Number: CR 371.384 V329o)
Creating a healthy school using the healthy school report card (2011) argues that a student’s emotional and physical health, in and outside of the classroom, are equally important to a student’s academic success. As an action tool, this resource provides teachers with the rationale and easy-to-use tools that they need to support their students in making healthy choices. (Call Number: 371.71 L833C 2011)
