This event has been changed and scaled down.
Unfortunately the number of teachers who have signed up does not justify the cost of having Judy & Linda come & present.
Fortunately I am very familiar with their work (and am working closely with them) and am comfortable leading a smaller session. The session will incorporate the following:
- Key Questions for Learner Engagement (with a brief research background)
- Overview & Examples of Six Strategies that Support Learner Engagement
- Time for reading & discussions short articles related to the above.
If you are interested, a small number of teachers (mostly secondary) will be meeting at Churchill Secondary on the morning of April 20th (room TBA). We will start at 9:00 AM and finish around 11:30 AM. Please send me a short email or text message if you plan to attend.

Linda & Judy will spend an interactive morning with us as we explore a
learning model that embeds agrowth mindset into our practices and shifts us towards a stronger learning orientation in our secondary classrooms. Once again we will be using the David Thompson Secondary cafeteria for our learning space.
They will start us off with a review of:
