Teachers from across BC joined us for a cross-district meeting on Zoom on April 26 2022. Meeting on Zoom has enabled the meetings to be more accessible to educators across the province and we enjoyed having teachers from Vernon, Prince George and the Island join us.
We shared updates on our collaborative Data resource and I shared an example of a data collection, analysis and taking action story with a class of grades 4&5 students as they noticed how much litter was on their school playground and used their data collection to communicate this concern to their school principal and create awareness of the issue in the school.
District teams shared updates on what they have been doing.
One area of investigation has been Indigenous storytelling and storywork. The following resources were shared:
