Welcome to the Pennsylvania Educators Online Network! This professional learning network has been created to assist PA Educators with finding important state information, and to offer an online area where teachers can connect, collaborate and share experiences and knowledge while teaching in PA. We hope that you find this network useful to you.
My name is Sallie Ann. I was made in Gettysburg PA, and I'm named after the mascot of the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry from the Civil War. My job is to travel around the U.S. looking for Civil War battlefields or museums and schools learning about the Civil War. Along the way, I hope to teach kids more about the Civil War while also helping them to learn about using technology. I'll start out in Gettysburg, PA ,and learn about the battle that took place there. My visit to you will last about one week, but before I leave, I hope that you will put something from the battlefield, museum or your school in my backPAck so I can keep it as a memento of my visit.
"Core Content Area Resources
Interactive resources for specific core content areas. Also listed are the PA State Standards to match assist with standards implementation and accountability."
Like playing hide and seek? What if you could teach your core content at the same time? This site was created by PA Educators to show how to use geotagging with Google Maps and Geocaching using GPS units to transform your classroom into an empowering, exploratory environment and get your kids moving around and having fun.
The 2007 PSSA Reading, Mathematics, and Writing Item and Scoring Samplers are tools to assist you with your instructional program and the reading, mathematics, and writing assessments. The samplers include test items written to focus on the Pennsylvania Academic Standards for writing and the Pennsylvania Assessment Anchor Content Standards (Assessment Anchors) for reading and mathematics. The items in the samplers will not appear on any operational form of the 2007 PSSA: however, they do provide examples of the types of items that will appear on the 2007 reading, mathematics, and writing assessments.
