AllPurposeful, Practical Dialogue with Timely Next Steps!
The format for the upcoming Advisory Committee meetings (ACM) will have a new look this year! Rather than attending only your own advisory committee meeting, this new format will give you the opportunity to engage in discussion around all ACM topics. Where appropriate, sessions will infuse key ideas related to Educational Technology, First Nations, Métis and Inuit, Literacy and Numeracy and Inclusive Education. District Leaders are invited to attend all 16 sessions offered, or selected sessions offered throughout the two day ACM Ed Camp. All of the 75 minute sessions will include information sharing, opportunities for dialogue, and time for providing input to ERLC related to future supports. We will be able to accommodate up to three people per district to allow you to maximize on this opportunity.
Outcomes:
- Provide initial supports/strategies to address the district needs that were identified at the September ERLC Advisory Committee meetings.
- Identify how ERLC can provide further, ongoing (from January to June) high leverage supports to districts in meeting the identified needs.
