Series Sessions

Date Time
Thursday, September 29, 2022 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM

Location

FFCA - Learning Centre 110 - 7000 Railway St. SE, Calgary, AB

Target Audience: K-6 Teachers are encouraged to attend.

Ensuring students develop sound foundations in numeracy, literacy and core subject areas can and should co-exist with invitations to engage in meaningful inquiry. By framing units around authentic contexts and empowering students to develop genuine understanding, teachers support learning that endures and transfers to new contexts.

During this professional learning day, teachers will engage in designing powerful units or lessons that build from the essential understandings and guiding questions of the new curriculum.  They will create “cascading units” that weave together important curricular goals into coherent, engaging and authentic learning opportunities.

The day will also consider the use of a variety of instructional tools and an instructional design process that is effective for students and efficient for teachers.
