Description (learning methods, topics covered) :
The role of tracking reading and writing progress in a self-regulating education system (Alain Desrochers)
This workshop has four objectives:
Review the conditions that enable an education system to self-regulate, and the concept of educational effectiveness.
Deepen an essential component of self-regulation, including tracking student progress and the causes and consequences of French reading and writing difficulties.
Provide details on the components of the tools used to track student progress in reading and writing and their functions in education.
Identify some of the challenges of tracking progress in high school.
The workshop will provide staff with an opportunity to learn and reflect on the expected impact of systematic tracking of student progress in an education system whose mission is to ensure the academic success of all its students.
Enriched writing (Cédrick Jeanpierre) Whether in the basic sentence or in the essay, in kindergarten or in grade 12e What questions need to be asked in order to convey a clear and precise message to the recipient? How can writing best reflect the student's thinking? This training will get teachers thinking about how to enrich their students' writing.
Transforming the learning experience (school management) This workshop will introduce you to the nature journaling process and how you can adapt it to all subjects and levels. By following this model, you'll see a transformation in your students, including the development of observation skills, improved writing and drawing abilities, and a greater appreciation of the natural environment. So, let's set an intention and go out together to bring our outdoor curriculum to life, to transform learning and develop essential global skills in a world in transition.
Catholicité - La Croix pédagogique, an essential tool to explore with your students! (school management) This workshop will introduce staff members to the pedagogical guide designed to support CSDCAB educators in their mission to provide a deeper understanding of the meaning of the CSDCAB interactive cross. This guide is a valuable resource for enriching teaching and inspiring students by engaging them in stimulating educational activities.

The Voyageurs Immobiles team promises a forest, but not just any forest, one in which the students participate, one born of the meeting of a drum, a cello and melting ice, one from which we emerge a little happier and more alive.
"And so, settled in the center of the set, like the core of this story, the children wait, on the lookout for all the noises, colors and gestures of the three artists around them." Marie Fradette, Le Devoir.

As their children's first educators, parents play a crucial role in shaping their children's self-image and self-confidence.
Join us for an evening of parent-to-parent conversation as we tackle key issues such as :
- What strategies can help children develop a positive self-image?
- How can we help children develop self-confidence and face life's challenges with resilience?
- How can we support children so that they can take their future into their own hands with confidence?
