Learning Opportunities

NOTE: April 27 Cohort Day is CANCELLED

May location - GPRC Room A201

Please note that your registration registers you for all 5 days of the cohort series.

This is a teacher/teacher leadership action research group. Our purpose is to open our teaching to the feedback of colleagues as we analyze and synthesize to build connections that link why we teach the way we do and our instruction impacts student learning and achievement.

This cross Jurisdictional cohort is open to reflective practitioners from the classroom,  the coaching field, from administration. Anyone who seeks to influence teaching and learning, K to 8.

** Studying the mathematics we teach, why we teach it and how it connects grade to grade, classroom to classroom

** Considering ways to integrate literacy, numeracy and the competencies into planning for instruction and assessment both in the mathematics classroom and beyond

**Studying student learning by analyzing samples of student work with specific attention to the importance of visual imagery to the development of reasoning and its impact on recall.

**Studying what it truly means to be a critical thinker in mathematics

It is an expectation that participants take back and share with their colleagues and students reflections and insights from what they are learning.

It is an expectation that participants bring insights, artifacts, video and student work to the meetings, (to be shared across jurisdictions and onto the EMPLO site) and be prepared to evaluate and analyze it’s strengths and weaknesses.

Please note that morning refreshments and lunch are NOT included.  Please feel free to bring along your snacks and lunch to network during the lunch break.
