    Description (learning methods, topics covered) :

    • The foundations of universal screening for students at risk of literacy difficulties (Alain Desrochers)

    This workshop will enable staff to understand the importance of universal screening of students at risk of difficulties in learning to read and write. We place this operation within a broader framework, namely that of regulating the services offered by an educational system, of which the school board is a part.

    We will then present a detailed analytical framework for evaluating universal screening tools, examining their structure, possible applications and optimal conditions of use. This framework will be applied concretely to the analysis of the IDAPEL kit, enabling us to identify its strengths and limitations.

    The workshop will conclude with a discussion of the essential criteria to consider when choosing a screening kit, and the importance of ongoing training to ensure its effective use by school staff.

    • 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 principals)

    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.

    April 7, 2025

    Thanks to BRAVE Education's upcoming school visits (April 7 to 11 and May 12 to 16), your child will benefit from a small-group approach to bullying prevention. With scenario-based learning, the speakers go beyond general messages to equip students with practical strategies.

    In addition to these workshops for students from kindergarten to grade 8e his year, the School Board is pleased to offer families an evening dedicated to bullying and conflict: Monday April 7 at 7 p.m. (in Thunder Bay and online).

    During the evening, you will be able to :

    • Learn the differences between bullying behavior and everyday conflicts.
    • Put the knowledge you've acquired into practice with a lively case study.
    • Learn prevention strategies to reduce the risk of bullying and how to intervene if it occurs.
    • Discuss the existence of self-confidence, the fact that some people have it and others less so, and how to work on it with their young people.
    • Discover practical communication methods to better engage their young people.

    This type of workshop inspires resilience through social and emotional skills.

    • Free registration by filling in the form
    • Monday, April 7 at 7 p.m. (Thunder Bay time)
    • Webinar in person at the head office (180 Park Avenue) or via Teams
      Simultaneous translation will be available via Wordly (connect from your computer, tablet or phone; bring headphones for the audio version).

    To support your child, don't hesitate to consult their free and paid resources.

    The school board reserves the right to cancel the webinar if a minimum number of registrants is not reached.
