Objectives of the day:

Thread practice into curriculum, curriculum into practice, and have teachers engaged and responsible for their own learning.

At the end of the day teachers will feel more confident with the Grade 6 curriculum and have had the opportunity to view it, experiment with it, and see how instructional approaches and student learning correlate. Teachers will be able to go back into their classrooms and implement something they have learned from the day.
