Saskatchewan Education has provided one copy of this bibliography to every school with students at the Elementary Level. This publication may be photocopied. The items listed are intended to promote the philosophy of resource-based learning, in which the students gain knowledge and understandings through a variety of resources and instructional approaches. This multi-resource approach provides students with opportunities to interact with a wide range of current materials to suit varied learning styles. It is important that human resources be accessed as well.
Every community has capable people who can enrich educational experiences.
When selecting resources, the following suggestions may be helpful. Selection should be based on the objectives and philosophy of the curriculum, teacher's needs, and students' interests, abilities, prior knowledge, and experience. Each school division is responsible for developing its own materials selection policy in order to address the particular needs of students and teachers in that division. Materials should be chosen in accordance with the school division s materials selection policy. Several publications available from LRDC provide further assistance in the selection process.
