3 Learning Resources This section contains general information on learning resources, and provides a link to the titles, descriptions, and ordering information for the recommended learning resources in the Physical Education K to 7 Grade Collections. What Are Recommended Learning Resources? Recommended learning resources are resources that have undergone a provincial evaluation process using teacher evaluators and have Minister s Order granting them provincial recommended status. These resources may include print, video, software and CD-ROMs, games and manipulatives, and other multimedia formats. They are generally materials suitable for student use, but may also include information aimed primarily at teachers. Information about the recommended resources is organized in the format of a Grade Collection. A Grade Collection can be regarded as a starter set of basic resources to deliver the curriculum. In many cases, the Grade Collection provides a choice of more than one resource to support curriculum organizers, enabling teachers to select resources that best suit different teaching and learning styles. Teachers may also wish to supplement Grade Collection resources with locally approved materials. How Can Teachers Choose Learning Resources to Meet Their Classroom Needs? Teachers must use either: provincially recommended resources OR resources that have been evaluated through a local, board-approved process Prior to selecting and purchasing new learning resources, an inventory of resources that are already available should be established through consultation with the school and district resource centres. The ministry also works with school districts to negotiate cost-effective access to various learning resources. What Are the Criteria Used to Evaluate Learning Resources? The Ministry of Education facilitates the evaluation of learning resources that support BC curricula, and that will be used by teachers and/or students for instructional and assessment purposes. Evaluation criteria focus on content, instructional design, technical considerations, and social considerations. Additional information concerning the review and selection of learning resources is available from the ministry publication, Evaluating, Selecting and Managing Learning Resources: A Guide (Revised 2002) What Funding is Available for Purchasing Learning Resources? As part of the selection process, teachers should be aware of school and district funding policies and procedures to determine how much money is available for their needs. Funding for various purposes, including the purchase of learning resources, is provided to school districts. Learning resource selection should be viewed as an ongoing process that requires a determination of needs, as well as long-term planning to co-ordinate individual goals and local priorities. What Kinds of Resources Are Found in a Grade Collection? The Grade Collection charts list the recommended learning resources by media format, showing links to the curriculum organizers and suborganizers. Each chart is followed by an annotated bibliography. Teachers should check with suppliers for complete and up-to-date ordering information. Most suppliers maintain web sites that are easy to access. Physical Education K to 7
