De-streaming Grade 9 Canadian Geography: CGC1D with no CGC1P
By Laura Bailey
Date and Time: Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 11:00 am Eastern
This session will be an opportunity to network with other teachers on ways in which we can offer diverse and engaging programming to our grade 9 Canadian Geography students while accommodating the needs of students formerly in applied courses. You will have the opportunity to contribute to a shared Google Drive folder and establish a community of support. This session is not limited to geography teachers. If you teach any destreamed grade 9 or 10 courses you may find tips, tricks, ideas, and resources for how to meet diverse learning needs in one classroom.
Learning Goals:
- I can design a destreamed course that accommodates the diverse learning needs and skillsets of all students.
- I can create lessons, materials, and projects that support diverse learning styles.
- I will network with other teachers to build a community of support and shared resources.
