Central Alberta teachers navigating innovation and changing landscape at regional convention
Over 2,200 teachers have gathered at Hunting Hills and Notre Dame high schools in Red Deer to take part in the annual Central Alberta Teachers’ Convention.
The two-day event sponsored by the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) has nearly 100 vendors in attendance and teachers from throughout the region learning more about the latest in teaching innovations from a long list of keynote speakers.
Convention President David Martin says the whole objective is teachers from all local school divisions coming together to get better at their profession.
“Learning on how to be well yourself, how to be mindful, how to embed technology better into the classroom or teach robotics better or even just be re-inspired or further inspired into their trade,” says Martin.
