Join us for a virtual book club to read "Wayi Wah! Indigenous Pedagogies, An Act for Reconciliation and Anti-Racist Education"

2/14/2024

Join us for a virtual book club Thursdays after school, once per month from the end of Feb - mid June 2024

BCECTA recently launched our book club for early career teachers, thanks to some grant funding from the BCTF.

We started in the fall with the book Kids These Days by Dr. Jody Carrington, and now it’s time to launch our second book with Wayi Wah! by Jo Chrona. 

We will be meeting after school monthly (for a total of 5 meetings) to…
  • discuss themes covered in the book, 
  • share out what resonates, 
  • exchange ideas / questions / connections, and 
  • think together in community.

All meetings will be virtual (unless you wish to host a place-based satellite meeting. Please get in touch with us if you want to run a local satellite group!).  You can still participate even if you can’t attend all meetings, but in order to be considered among the first 25 eligible to get the book for free you must be able to commit to at least three of the five sessions.

Registered participants will be emailed the zoom link prior to each session.

From the pool of participants in each meeting, we will do a draw for four gift cards. The electronic gift cards can be used for a little treat or beverage of choice to enjoy.


Meeting dates: (One hour each)

1) Thursday Feb 29th, 2024, 3:30 - 4:30 pm: READINGS Ch 1 & 2 (pp. 1-30)  
2) Thursday March 14th, 2024, 3:30 - 4:30 pm: READINGS Ch 3  & first half ch 4 (pp. 31 - 82)
3) Thursday April 4, 2024, 3:30 - 4:30 pm: READINGS Second half of Chapter 4 (pp. 82 -115) 
4) Thursday  May 16, 2024, 3:30 - 4:30 pm:    READINGS Chapter 5 (pp. 115-184)

2/14/2024

1 Comment

 
High School Colleagues, the Vancouver Brain Bee committee at the University of British Columbia has an exciting opportunity for your students!

"We are thrilled to announce the 16th annual Vancouver Brain Bee, scheduled for Saturday, April 6th at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health. This event is a unique, Spelling Bee-styled Neuroscience competition designed for high school students in grades 9-12. This full-day interactive event allows students to test their neuroscience knowledge, engage in lab tours and interact with graduate students and professors. Local competition winners advance to the first phase of the National Brain Bee, which will be a virtual event held on April 20th, 2024. The top three participants will advance to The Final Showdown of the National competition, an in-person event at the Canadian Association of Neuroscience Conference in Vancouver on May 21, 2024. The winner of Nationals will advance to the International Brain Bee, representing Canada!"
​

"Please pass on the information for this event to colleagues and grade 9-12 science students at your convenience. We have attached a poster, an itinerary, our website and our Eventbrite signup below for more information on how to prepare. If you have any questions or require any other materials to supplement your announcement, please do not hesitate to reach out."
