“On the two school days of your assigned teachers’ convention, you have a legal and professional responsibility to attend Convention. If you are not able to make it safely to your assigned convention, however, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or inclement weather clauses that you can access. If your collective agreement does not include language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave clauses of your agreement in most cases.

This session will focus on how to incoprotate Peter Liljedahl's concept of building thinking classrooms in a high school social studies setting. In this session, we will review the basics of a thinking classroom, explore how to apply this orignal math concept to high school social studies classrooms, and engage with examples of implimentation.
My grade 3 class had the opportunity to be pen pals with students from a small school in Arusha, Tanzania. We were able to share what life is like in rural Alberta and compare it first hand to life in Tanzania. Students created games and videos explaining how to play some of the math and learning games we play in our classroom. Through bake sales, we were able to fund raise enough money to purchase a water reservation system, repair the roof on the school, and purchase a photo copier. I had the opportunity to spend a week in Tanzania, work with the students, and take them games, food, and school supplies. Through personal connection we were able to create authentic learning opportunities.
I have been a teacher for the past 30 years. The last 22 have been spent at Seven Persons School teaching grade 6 with the last 7 teaching grade 3. I love to spend time hiking and kyaking and enjoy hanging out with my husband, children, and grandchildren.
