Professional Development

During the first semester, our module was invited to attended the Coquitlam (SD43) based Professional Development Day. We also had workshops throughout our module to supplement our practicum experience. Most of them were based around social emotional learning, social justice, and social responsibility. As I was working with an SA who was very interested in the MindUp program, I was also given the opportunity to attend MindUp workshops.
