KSP – Kindergarten Screening Protocol
December 9 [Register]
Come learn about our School District’s formative assessment for literacy skills in Kindergarten. This protocol, done in January, gives teachers information about learners so they have adequate time within the school year to respond to the student’s needs. Learn playful activities to help our Kindergartners gain the skills and experiences that will help them develop into confident readers and writers.
Shuffling into Math Card Games – Primary Math Games with Jane Felling from Box Cars and One-Eyed Jacks
January 20, 2021 [Register]
Hosted by the Langley Primary Association. We need to keep our students active and engaged in meaningful, hands-on math games and activities. Come prepared to play Jane’s best card games that can be played in all settings, small groups, centers, whole class with social distancing practices, home if being taught remotely. Participants will learn how to use games daily in your math program, how to develop math journals and math talk extensions, and how to differentiate the games to meet the needs of all students.
Odyssey: Calls to Action – Building capacity, understanding and mutual respect
Save the Date: Friday, February 12, 2021
As we continue our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in Langley Schools, our focus for Odyssey this year is on enhancing Indigenous student achievement and integrating Indigenous world views and perspectives into learning environments. As Justice Sinclair said, “Education is the key to reconciliation.” Our presenters will use the educational Calls to Action outlined in the Truth and Reconciliation document to guide their learning with you and the First Peoples Principles of Learning will be forefront. Odyssey 2021 connects to our work on Ensouling our Schools which has focussed on creating compassionate learning communities which nurture the gifts of all of our learners.
