SUMMARY:K-3 Pedagogical Documentation Workshop 2 of 2
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to learn about Pedagogical Documentation – where it came from and how it can look in practice? \n \nK-3 teachers are invited to attend two FREE dinner workshops to learn more about Pedagogical Documentation (a.k.a. pedagogical narration):\nWhen: Wednesday\, February 21st and Wednesday\, March 7th\nTime: 3:45-5:30 (learning session)\, 5:30-6:00 (dinner)\nWhere: SJ Willis Auditorium (first session) and TBA (second session)\n\n\nJoin us for a two-part interactive dinner workshop series:\n \nSession #1: Wednesday\, February 21\, 2018 at SJ Willis (923 Topaz Avenue) (3:45-5:30 workshop; 5:30-6:00 dinner)\nIn this first session\, we will explore where and why this practice started and how it has come to be so popular in British Columbia with educators working with early learners. Using concrete samples\, we will focus on the practices of observation\, documentation\, and reflection (individual and collaborative)…including frank conversation about the barriers & enablers of doing this work. \n \nSession #2:  Wednesday\, March 7\, 2018 (Location TBA) (3:45-5:30 workshop; 5:30-6:00 dinner)\nIn this second session\, we will revisit the previous work and link it with the Core Competencies found in the BC curriculum documents\, specifically Social Responsibility. Participants will also explore how Pedagogical Documentation can positively impact children\, their families\, teachers\, and the Education profession in general.  \n \nAbout the Facilitator\, Alison Bledsoe:\nAlison is an Early Childhood Educator with 25+ years of experience in Early Years and Leadership studies.  She has worked in childcare\, family support and outreach\, program development\, non-profit agency management\, community development\, and social change/community impact strategies.  Current roles include post-secondary ECE faculty work as well as a range of independent consulting – including the Ministry of Education & United Way of the Lower Mainland initiative Changing Results for Young Children.

SUMMARY:EdCampVic
DESCRIPTION:An edcamp is a user-generated conference – commonly referred to as an “unconference“. That means that there is not a rigid schedule of workshops and presentations planned in advance. Instead\, ideas for collaboration and conversation are determined as attendees identify common themes/topics that they would like to explore\, and what they can teach others about. \nUnlike traditional conferences which have schedules set months in advance by the people running the conference\, Edcamp has an agenda that’s created by the participants at the start of the event. Instead of one person standing in front of the room talking for an hour\, people are encouraged to have discussions and hands-on sessions. Sponsors don’t have their own special sessions or tables\, all of the space and time are reserved for the things the people there want to talk about. People could pay hundreds of dollars to attend another conference\, or they could go to Edcamp for free. \nBuilt on principles of connected and participatory learning\, Edcamp strives to bring educators together to talk about the things that matter most to them: their interests\, passions\, and questions. Facilitators will be designed to session rooms to facilitate conversationTeachers who attend Edcamp can choose to lead sessions on those things that matter\, with an expectation that the people in the room will work together to build understanding by sharing their own knowledge and questions. \n
