CALGARY TELUS CONVENTION CENTRE(CTCC) and HYATT - address and driving directions

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.
FOR PRE-REGISTERED SESSIONS PLEASE USE THE PRE-REGISTRATION LINK BELOW THE SESSION DESCRIPTION IN SCHED. Adding the session to your Sched schedule does not mean you are pre-registered. 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.

If your collective agreement does not include language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or report to your school or another work location in your district.

This workshop offers practical ways that you can build grounding into your daily classroom routine. Learn and practice strategies specifically adapted for junior high and high school students. We will explore the leading evidence-based strategies for classroom stressors including managing test anxiety, trouble with focus/concentration, and emotional dysregulation. You will leave with a toolbox of strategies to incorporate grounding in your classroom, which can help students of all backgrounds and abilities. Strategies range from quick 10-second techniques, daily habits, longer exercises, and tips for how to create sensory-friendly classrooms without spending a lot of money.
