Renaissance Reading Programme

The Renaissance Reading Programme is a digital program that helps students and teachers manage and monitor independent reading practice.

Students pick a book at their own level (this is assessed by the programme in English classes) and read it at their own pace. When students finish the book, they take a short quiz on the computer to check their understanding.

Students take their book with them to read for 5 minutes at the start of each class, with an English class, once a cycle, dedicated to library time and sustained reading.

As students read and take quizzes, they earn points and track their progress toward their individual reading goal.

Teachers conference regularly with students to support reading engagement, goal setting, and comprehension strategies.

Sustained and consistent reading builds ability and better academic achievement.

ClickView

Discover a world of visual content through ClickView's extensive online resources. Documentaries, movies, TV series, current affairs and more.

Not just for the classroom, ClickView is a wonderful resource to use at home, often containing movies that are difficult to source on other services. All Notre Dame College staff and students have access to ClickView via their college accounts. Just head over to the Movies+TV section, and start browsing.

For teachers

We have a dedicated ClickView library (Notre Dame College Library) divided into relevant subject areas to enhance your classroom experience. Any resource found in ClickView that you would like to add to your subject area, can easily be requested, and will be ready to access within 24 hours.

Within the ClickView Movies+TV section, you will find two highlighted areas of interest:

  • Exchange Archive - which allows teachers to view content added and shared by other schools (students are not able to freely browse or view Exchange content)
  • ClickView TV - showcasing the most current programmes running, for popular TV channels

There are a host of benefits to adding ClickView content to your lesson plans. Create an interactive video as an active class experience by incorporating multiple choice, true or false, missing words and short answers during strategic stages within your chosen video. Your video can also be set-up to give your downloadable resources in the form of worksheets or quizzes.

ClickView is just waiting to be explored. So start the search!
