BOARD BITS for FEBRUARY

The Grasslands Board of Trustees believes in and supports on-going professional development (PD) and training for all Grasslands staff. Effective PD activities provide our staff with the skills and knowledge needed to make our jurisdiction the best place for students to learn, achieve and succeed.

Professional development takes many forms and is provided by many different people and organizations. PD experiences can include attending conferences, inservices, courses, workshops, and professional learning community (PLC) meetings.

This month, all Grasslands’ teachers will be taking part in a key professional development activity - their annual teachers’ convention held in Medicine Hat. This convention provides teachers with the opportunity to attend sessions that help keep them up-to-date on new teaching methods and strategies, on new curriculum and on new resources. It is also an opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues. Ultimately, attending this PD event will help improve teaching practice and enhance student learning. We wish all teachers an enjoyable convention!
