What a Great Conference!
The annual BCTELA Fall Conference was a great
success! Thank you to all who attended and shared your thoughts about the
literate lives of teachers and students. We have been blown away by the
positive feedback from members and we are already looking forward to next
year.
We would love to keep these rich conversations going and invite you to check out our new blog. We hope you stop by to look through the conference materials and to continue the conversations that started
at the conference.
Conference time!
Now that October is here, teachers are choosing professional development activities for the Oct 21st PSA day. As always, we are looking forward to our annual fall conference, this year at Johnson Heights Secondary in Surrey, as an opportunity to come together and learn from each other.
There are still many workshops with a few spots available. Check out the conference program for details and register today!
You never know who you'll meet
BCTELA would like to congratulate Richard Wagamese, who has just been named the recipient of this year's George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature. Congratulations Richard!
Richard Wagamese was the keynote speaker at last October's conference. He was inspiring, as he challenged us to see each student's needs clearly and to give them time to grow, and welcoming, as he reassured us that what we do is making a difference even if we don't always see the difference it makes.
