High School Teachers and Educational Assistants - if you’re looking for practical strategies to tackle tricky teaching conundrums and a network of colleagues to lean in on, this conference is for you!
The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a tremendous impact on the emotional and academic needs of high school students. Faced with new challenges as you rise to the occasion of mitigating these impacts, this virtual conference will provide High School Teachers and Educational Assistants an opportunity to learn with and from one another as you prepare to enter Semester 2.
Keynote speakers will provoke thought and provide conversation opportunities as you reflect on what you’ve learned over Semester 1 about what students need now, while concurrent sessions will provide practical and relevant strategies and approaches to support you in setting the stage for Semester 2 given the current realities of student needs. Discipline specific networking sessions for teachers will allow you a chance to talk about learning from the concurrent sessions in the context of your discipline and to apply it to your practice. There will be networking sessions specifically for Educational Assistants as well.
