K-8 French Immersion teachers in their first five years in the classroom who are curious, engaged and keen to continue growing in this profession are invited to participate in a collaborative learning series offered throughout this school year. The focus for this learning opportunity will be to create a supportive and responsive community of French Immersion teachers to take part in learning sessions to support their teaching practices. Participants will benefit from opportunities to apply their learning by co-planning and co-teaching in their own and colleagues’ classrooms collaboratively. Sessions will be bilingual as this will be an inclusive learning environment for all. Snacks will be provided. Join this dynamic group and learn together!
