ERC (Educational Resource Collections)
Our educational resource collections are available on the third floor of the Regina Library book stacks.
The educational resource collections (ERC) contain items and materials that could be found in a typical classroom, such as textbooks, curriculum and lesson planning resources, instructional kits, manipulatives and games, as well as a diverse set of juvenile titles, including picture books, easy readers, and nonfiction books.
To locate a book, game, or kit in the ERC, search the library catalog and then use the “modify search” feature to limit results to the ERC Resource or ERC Juvenile Collection.
Books
In addition to a large collection of books related to educational research and theory, we have a wide variety of books that support curriculum and lesson planning development, such as grade-level textbooks, teacher editions, and other curricular resources on various subjects. We also have an assortment of picture books as well as juvenile fiction and non-fiction.
Manipulatives
Manipulatives are materials that are intended for hands-on use. We have a wide variety of manipulatives to help encourage class participation and comprehension through hands-on experiences, like blocks, language card sets, and many more.
Kits/Games
These collections also contain a variety of educational kits and games. Science kits include materials to help with demonstrating activities or “experiments,” social skills games encourage students to learn activities while having fun, and social studies kits help children to imagine what life would be like during another time in history. We have so many to explore and incorporate into your own lesson plans.
