Symposiums
The Authentic Learning Symposiums are a full day opportunity for teachers across our system to connect and take up the important invitation to share experiences of authentic learning. The symposiums include a key note speaker or other external education experts that provide input and insight. They are interactive showcases of ideas, strategies, practices and approaches to teaching and learning, that embody our Statement on Authentic Learning. The extended timeframe of a symposium allows teachers more time for sharing, reflection and inquiry into particular elements of authentic learning.
