School Council Purpose
Time:
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Location: Online - Zoom
Understanding the advisory role of school councils through a review of the legislation, exploring rights, responsibilities and choices including which topics/areas are open for discussion helps to guide school council and its work in the school community. Learning how to identify the work of school councils, how to frame a “personal issue” from a school council perspective and how to broach sensitive topics is essential for new and returning members.
Registration cut-off is 12 noon one week prior to the scheduled Learning Opportunity.
Distracted: Why Students Can't Focus and What you Can Do About It
Time:
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Location: https://www.sapdc.ca/program/13892?source=arpdc
Establishing a learning environment where students are able to
actively pay attention and concentrate is a prerequisite to learning. Without it, students simply do not learn. How can this be possible in today’s classrooms with so many potential distractors, attention deficits and attention fragmentation we seem to see in so many students?
In this session Dr. Chris Mattatall helps us explore ways in which
teachers can address and navigate student distraction. Dr. Mattatall will use the book Distracted: Why Students Can’t Focus and What You Can Do About It (Lang; 2020), as well as findings from the Science of Learning to share strategies that help classroom teachers reframe this problem and structure
our teaching that creates, achieves and maintains attention for learning.

The Work of School Council: It’s NOT About the Meeting
Time:
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Location: Online - Zoom
School Councils often struggle with identifying the types of activities and work they should be doing in order to truly fulfil their legislated role. In this workshop, school councils are encouraged to examine what they are doing in relation to the Assurance Framework, their intended purpose and the intended result of their work, and then consider strategies to enhance school council’s role in the school community, supporting the expectations of legislation and the Assurance Framework.
Registration cut-off is 12 noon one week prior to the scheduled Learning Opportunity.
Fundraising Association Partnership Purpose
Time:
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Location: Online - Zoom
Fundraising Associations (FRAs) are separate, legal entities with distinct rules to follow, responsibilities to comply with and liabilities to consider. Positive, collaborative, mutually respectful relationships with the principal and school council are integral to the success of each and in the best interests of students. Clarity of who has authority for what, is essential.
Registration cut-off is 12 noon one week prior to the scheduled Learning Opportunity.
