Have you ever been to a restaurant where the menu options are broad, allowing everyone at your table to order something that will satisfy their cravings? Essentially, that is what Exploring the Many Pathways to Learning aims to do for teachers who are searching for resources that are just right for them and for their students. 

The next McDowell Salon Series, Dreaming Bigger: Personalizing Pace, Place & Time, is being hosted in North Battleford on Wednesday, November 21 at 7 p.m. at John Paul II Collegiate. At the event, teachers will share their experience of introducing flexible learning opportunities to students.

Education Minister Gord Wyant acknowledged in a recent interview that one of the recurring frustrations that he has heard from talking to teachers and administrators alike is the government’s rigid goal of achieving improved on-time graduation rates as part of its Education Sector Strategic Plan.

On November 21, teachers from John Paul II Collegiate are sharing results of their award-winning research exploring how technology and a shift in teaching approaches can help students to graduate.

“Learning doesn’t start and end when the bell rings,” said Ramona Stillar, teacher and lead researcher of the Time, Pace, Place: Using Flexible Design and Delivery to Support Learners project. She is facilitating a Salon Series, entitled Dreaming Bigger: Personalizing Pace, Place & Time, to share their work. The event will take place at the school from 7 to 9 p.m.
