MODULE 3: Planning Inquiry-based Teaching to Inspire Excellence (Jan. 21, 2017)
This training module will give you an introduction to inquiry based teaching and learning which is an approach that empowers students to be involved in their learning by encouraging them to use inquiry and critical thinking skills to develop new understandings and ultimately take positive action.

This is the model of learning used in many private schools and is now being introduced into the public school system in Canada.

This training module will discuss ‘authentic’ assessment which is a way of evaluating knowledge and accomplishments that is ‘worthwhile, significant, and meaningful’ instead of multiple choice standardized tests. You will be be able to plan for both formative (assessment throughout learning) and summative (assessment at the end of learning) by becoming familiar with a variety of assessment tools and techniques.
MODULE 6: Creating Inclusive Learning Environments leading to Effective Classroom Management (Apr. 22, 2017)
