Our bi-monthly collaboration and conversation will be teacher-driven and responsive to needs and interests as they arise. They will also provide teachers across school jurisdictions the rich opportunity to share ideas, resources, strategies and successes.
Through the lens of best practices in planning, feedback, and assessment, we might explore possible approaches to:
- independent reading
- book clubs
- the whole class novel
- film
- poetry
- the writing process
This session addresses the TQS competencies
- #2: Engaging in Career-Long Learning
- #3: Demonstrating a Professional Body of Knowledge
