General Assessment

Question	Response
What skills does this resource explicitly teach?	Inner circle/outer circle discussion organization. Action planning. Writing formal letters. Lobbying government. How to educate for change. How to formally get involved in instituting change. How to read a water meter.
What important, related ideas/issues are not addressed in this resource?	First Nations view on the issue. Fresh water past, present, and future. The science of water – What is water? What is potable and what is not? Why? What are the effects of desalination?
What important ideas are implied by the resource, but not taught explicitly?	Canada has a responsibility to act as a steward over fresh drinking water. Water is under-valued in the West. Canada and the U.S. need to use water more responsibly. Students can successfully create the changes they want to see in the world. Water is connected to many other world issues, such as poverty and global warming. Educating is also about taking action. Meat for food is not an efficient use of water. Protected, respected watersheds are a community/world asset.
To enhance this resource the following changes would be beneficial:	Through Green Street, hook up with the Safe Drinking Water Foundation. They send out wonderful science kits at subsidized rates that allow you and your students to scientifically and safely conduct lab tests that confirm the safety of your school tap/fountain water. They also have a Water Spirit, First Nations unit available free to download.

Sustainability Education Principles

Principle	Rating	Explanation
Bias Minimization	Very Good	The letter to teacher and the backgrounder state CoDev’s position succinctly.
Multiple Dimensions of Problems & Solutions	Very Good	The teacher backgrounder provides information on the scope of the issue. The student activities, when accompanied by the teacher information and research, explore most aspects of the problem and some possible solutions.
Respects Complexity	Very Good	The problem is presented in a global, scientific, factual way. Solutions take on a local focus because Canada minds 25% of the world’s fresh water.
Action Experience	Very Good	Many of the individual activities have a student-directed action component built in.
Action Skills	Very Good	Students are directly taught strategies for taking action such as planning and lobbying through the activities.
Empathy & Respect for Humans	Very Good	Consultation occurred with many sub-groups throughout the preparation of the resource. Information is presented respectfully.
Personal Affinity with Earth	Very Good	The resource encourages teachers to take students to drinking water sources for a field trip. The CD-ROM offers a first-rate photo tour that stirs the soul.
Locally-Focused	Very Good	Students and teachers are encouraged to access local experts and facilities.
Past, Present & Future	Very Good	The facts are presented to students so that they can envision possible futures with and without action.

Pedagogical Approaches

Principle	Rating	Explanation
Open-Ended Instruction	Good	A combination of structured, open, and guided inquiry and investigation. Teachers are left to determine the direction they want their students to move in, but there are also opportunities provided for research.
Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Learning	Good
Discovery Learning	Poor/Not considered
Values Clarification	Very Good	Through the statistical information on drinking water available to students, they will be required to reassess their understanding, beliefs and attitudes.
Differentiated Instruction	Very Good	Much will ultimately be determined by the teacher, but there are opportunities in this open-ended resource to plan for different students' strengths and learning styles.
Experiential Learning	Very Good	It will be important to include field-trips, interviews and guest speakers in the unit as suggested in activity five.
Cooperative Learning	Very Good	Most of the activities provide opportunity for students to work in teams. This is always left to the teacher to determine.
Assessment & Evaluation	Good	Students have many opportunities to demonstrate knowledge. The unit provides one summative assessment rubric for the inner/outer circle discussion and it also includes a key to the water quiz for formative assessment.
Peer Teaching	Very Good	Most of the activities provide for opportunities to work in teams where students can exchange knowledge and understanding. This is always left to the teacher to determine.
Case Studies	Very Good	The written case studies for activity 9 are exceptional. The pictures on the CD-ROM (also photocopied in the guide) offer a wide range of scenarios that include local, as well as global, scenes. Solutions are not presented along with the pictures but they will serve to facilitate discussions in which solutions could be a focus.
Locus of Control	Very Good	Students can make choices in their action plans and in their research.
