In November Coquitlam scheduled a pro-day with a non-instructional day. Most of the staff at our school (and other Coquitlam Middle schools) took advantage of this by travelling to Portland, Oregon for a huge middle school conference. It is called the conference for American Middle Level Educators (AMLE). Experts from all over North America were at this conference presenting new ideas, theories, philosophies, and techniques about teaching specifically to the middle school age. It was amazing! There were teachers from all over just there to learn new ways to teach middle school! Very inspiring! I wasn't able to get many pictures from the actual conference but I did get some pictures of all of us teachers bonding and having a great time while we were there!

A group of us went to a Portland Trailblazers game while we were there. My first NBA game!
One of the workshops I went to. This one was on student engagement.

Voodoo Doughnuts!
I thought it was cool that a band at a Portland pub had a Vancouver Whitcaps scarf behind them.
