Our OSSTF/DDSB joint PD Day will be held on November 15, 2024. The theme for this year is "Weaving Wellness through Curriculum" with a combined focus on curriculum and wellness. We encourage you to be a presenter. Presenters design workshops dedicated to the theme, however, all curriculum related workshops can be submitted for consideration.
We encourage everyone to think about the future of education and our role in leading the way in best supporting our students and colleagues. If you would like to present a professional development session, please complete the proposal form. All proposals will be reviewed jointly by the District 13 Professional Development Committee and DDSB. Sessions must have curricular connections, support student learning, and reflect sound anti-oppression and equity pedagogy.
At this time, workshops for this day are anticipated to be in person, however, presenters should consider how their workshop could be delivered through a virtual platform if the need arises. The deadline for submissions will be September 25, 2024.
Before submitting your workshop proposal please be sure to contact your principal to arrange a room booking at your school if you require a particular room as the presenter.
