What’s New in POP (Part 3): Student Workbooks on the POP Links Website

Do you teach POP? Are you a guidance counsellor who works with POP students? Are you an IT person responsible for the computers in your school board’s POP classrooms? Keep reading to find out what’s new in POP this year!

The student workbooks are a relatively new POP resource: they are fillable PDF forms that are intended for students to record their work, thoughts, calculations and/or answers as they explore each activity guide.

Personal Reflection

A “Personal Reflection” section at the end of each workbook gives students the opportunity to reflect on their learning and career opportunities. Students can fill out the workbooks by hand or type their answers into the fillable forms on a computer.

Students’ answers are not evaluated

Teachers are not meant to evaluate students’ answers in their workbooks; however, they can consult the workbooks to help them assess whether their students are achieving the program competencies.

Free downloads

Along with the POP activity guides, student workbooks can be downloaded for free on the POP Links website. To find a student workbook, click on a guide title (such as Digital Photography) in the Activity Guides section, then click on the link to the workbook in the right-hand column of the activity guide page. Each student workbook is identified with the same version number as the activity guide it accompanies—make sure the version numbers match!

POP blog series

This is the third in a four-part series of blog posts about the POP program. Keep reading this series to find out more about the tool kits!
