It sounds like yesterday was a very busy day and hopefully not too overwhelming. We have many important initiatives in the Division which are meant to support and promote best practices in order to build on the pedagogical capacity of all our staff. Best practices lead to best practioners! I think the idea of developing our PLN is so important since we have heard from staff that the most beneficial learning opportunities come from the time teachers spend learning from one another. 21st Century learning skills are a big focus moving forward and any opportunities to collaborate and connect with colleagues is so important to ensuring these skills are being developed in each and every classroom. (Not to mention that working together is much more fun than working alone). This is an exciting time to begin your careers as educators! Enjoy.
