    Invité : BRAVE Éducation

    Communiquer avec confiance
    Les participants apprennent à encourager les élèves à utiliser nos stratégies « S’éloigner, s’exprimer, et s’affirmer avec confiance » lorsqu’ils sont confrontés à
    un conflit. En analysant des situations sociales courantes, ils découvrent comment chaque étape s’applique dans des contextes du quotidien et comment intégrer ces concepts dans les discussions de suivi après un conflit.

    Le Conseil scolaire fera également écho de la campagne sur la fréquentation scolaire, une responsabilité partgée.

    CONSTRUCTION IDENTITAIRE

    This presentation invites staff to explore their linguistic and cultural identity in relation to the French-speaking world. Based on a video about the reality of students at La Vérendrye Catholic High School, they will explore what it means to be «proud» and their sense of belonging. The activity includes individual reflection, group discussion, and clarification of key concepts. This identity-building activity can be revisited with students at a later date.

    ÉDUCATION SPÉCIALISÉE 101

    Teaching and support staff will have the opportunity to review the main principles of special education, with a particular focus on the distinctions between accommodations, different expectations, and modifications.

    Les quatre ateliers, d’une durée de 30 minutes chacun, permettront d’explorer certaines fonctions exécutives, notamment l’organisation, la planification, la mémoire de travail et la vitesse de traitement de l’information. Chaque atelier proposera des conseils pratiques, des astuces utiles et des ressources complémentaires.
