PRE-REGISTRATION WILL OPEN ON JANUARY 11, 2024 AT 8:00P.M. and CLOSE FEBRUARY 11 AT 8:00 P.M.
We have decided to start pre-registration on January 11th to make sure everyone is informed of the start time and has time to check out the sessions as the first week back to school can be quite hectic.

The number in the title shows how many will be allowed to attend the session. We do allow more names to be added, but they will be on the waiting list. This is explained on the pre-registration page.

Bullying and Other Concerns

How do we move our youth from FEAR to FREEDOM when the silence is as deafening as the yelling? Come on a story-telling journey with me to understand what's going on behind the scenes with our kids. No wonder mental health concerns are through the roof and suicide has become a permanent solution to a temporary problem. We can do something different, together. It's worth it!

La gestion des comportements
Friday February 21, 2025 2:20pm - 3:20pm MST
Au cours de notre carrière d’enseignant, nous avons tous eu des années plus difficiles que d’autres pour différentes raisons. Il est important, lorsque cela nous arrive, de prendre un temps d’arrêt pour réfléchir aux pratiques que nous utilisons en salle de classe et aux stratégies que nous pouvons mettre en place pour aider nos élèves. Que nous soyons un enseignant débutant ou un enseignant d’expérience, parfois ce temps d’arrêt s’impose. Lors de cet atelier, nous explorerons des stratégies préventives et correctives. Nous insisterons sur l’importance de revenir aux stratégies efficaces pour tous les élèves avant de mettre en place des interventions ciblées et spécifiques.
