Different strategies for improving schooling!

Different strategies for improving schooling!
[ED EQUITY] Help (Home Schooling Strategies): education equity help.

Alternative Schooling Strategies and the Religious Lives of Adolescents:

Analyzing the effects of Catholic schooling, Protestant schooling, and home schooling on adolescents' religious lives and testing three mechanisms through which these schooling strategies might influence religiosity: friendship networks, network closure, and adult mentors through data from Wave 1 of the National Survey of Youth and Religion suggest that Catholic scholars attend religious services more frequently and value their faith more highly than public scholars, but attend religious education classes and youth group less often. Protestant scholars' involvement in their local congregation is similar to public scholars', but their faith plays a more salient role in their life and they are more active in private religious activities. Homeschooling do not differ significantly from public scholars on any outcome considered. Moreover, friendship networks, network closure, and adult mentors play a very limited role in mediating the relationships between schooling strategies and adolescent religiosity. Interpretations of these findings can be presented and discussed.

An exciting adventure in hands-on learning!

We can discover, enjoy, and marvel at science and technology in school programs designed to complement school curricula in math, science and technology, and social studies. Canada Science and Technology Museum programs extend the classroom experience, emphasizing active participation, hands-on opportunities, and problem-solving.
Activity-centered workshops and programs are geared to the needs of younger students while intermediate and senior students are stimulated with interactive, problem-solving activities, demonstrations, and discovery searches. A wealth of information is shared in our pre- and post-visit activities package that accompanies each school program.

Guided school programs, self-guided packages and virtual programs.
Discovering the Museum Days for teachers.
Curriculum-Based Workshops for teachers.
Planning for visits (both students and teachers).
