Webinar: Starting the School Year Right
Comments Off on Webinar: Starting the School Year RightSaturday, November 6th at 11am EST on Clickmeeting | One-hour webinarPresented by Rachel Johnson and Katie Attwell
If there is anything that we have learned over the course of COVID-19 and the constant shifting from in-person to remote, etc., it’s the importance of a positive classroom community. This is established when all students feel valued, safe, and represented in their classroom, and students are actively taking risks and making mistakes.
In an ideal world, face-to-face interactions are a key component to building community; students get to see and interact with their teacher and peers, and become comfortable in the classroom setting. In this webinar, Rachel Johnson and Katie Attwell will discuss strategies that are meant to provide ideas on how you can leverage tech tools to support this class bonding.

Webinar: Learning our Way out of the Pandemic: Beyond “back to normal” for students
Comments Off on Webinar: Learning our Way out of the Pandemic: Beyond “back to normal” for students
Wednesday, May 19 at 1pm ET on Zoom | One-hour webinar
Presented by Karen Mundy and Kelly Gallagher-Mackay
Like so many families and children around the world, Canadians are looking with relief to a more open, carefree summer and normal return to school later this year. But after 18 months of profound disruption – will ‘normal’ be good enough? Are we on track to set all children up for success in a world that often seems more uncertain – and unequal – than ever before?
This webinar, sponsored by online learning toolmaker IPEVO, will examine how Canadian schools have fared during COVID19 compared to those in other jurisdictions. We then turn to evidence-based ways that educators can ensure a better, stronger, and more equitable start in September 2021.

Family Ties: Connecting Food and Learning at Home
Comments Off on Family Ties: Connecting Food and Learning at HomeSince COVID-19 began, people’s relationship with food has been upended. Before, people may have had some meals provided at work, school, or at social functions, but in isolation many have taken it upon themselves to become self-sufficient in their daily meal prep. How many of us have seen videos on social media of a friend’s first attempt at baking bread or a triumphant picture of a successful attempt at a gourmet dinner? There has been a massive increase in the public’s interest in food, & the kitchen has once again become the hearth around which people gather to share, to learn, & to connect.
