A Child's WAY

 

The WAY Game is designed to help classroom teachers engage and motivate their students with promises of play and prizes. SWAY Canada is a free, self-directed collection of teaching and learning resources for teachers, students and their parents.

​

School leaders have an opportunity to empower teachers with practical tools that improve learning while strengthening relationships among students, families, and the community.

 

By exploring innovative resources like SWAY Canada and the WAY Game, principals can create space for teachers to experiment, collaborate, and rediscover the joy of learning alongside their students.

Hi, my name is Brian; I'm a retired teacher from Canada. I promised my students I would put instructions for the WAY Game online. {Be careful what you promise.}

 

To that end, I'm piloting the WAY Game in select Division 2 schools [grades 4 to 6], Calgary schools.

This website is designed to outline the tools and techniques SWAY offers. Everything is free except CAP Notebooks. 

 

All you need is available here 365/24/7, no registration or permission required. All that is needed is you.

Evergreen - self-directed, [unless I'm volunteering.]
