Another Awesome Year of Teaching and Learning!
We have worked hard this year to maintain “a learning space” that is both physical and virtual – a place where students, teachers and other members of the school community can meet to collaborate, experiment, discover, practice, celebrate, learn, share, work, and create.
Our Learning Commons/Maker Space is a library, a classroom, a media production center, a performance venue, a meeting place, a place for relaxed social group learning and intense individual research and study. We are a resource and a space for all learners.
Highlights
Working on Inquiry Projects and the Implementation of the New BC Curriculum
- Providing opportunities for students and teachers to access, evaluate, manage, share, create and present information in new ways.
- Classes, individual students, groups and teachers used the Learning Commons for inquiry, research, professional development, on-line lessons, assessment, blogging, creating multimedia presentations and a variety of other applications in all the subject areas.
- Working with teachers on implementation of the re-designed BC Curriculum: Core and Curricular Competencies.
