Upcoming Professional Development Opportunity

Celebrating Curiosity with Nonfiction Books (Virtual Author Visit) on January 16 at 4:30pm: https://forms.gle/LtNwsxXFJz6DWiax8

Nonfiction books spark curiosity, celebrate diversity, inspire creativity and encourage enthusiasm. Children’s author (and former teacher) Annette Whipple shares strategies and activities to effectively use nonfiction in K-8 classrooms with ELA, science, and history beyond research. Participants will see examples of how they can use nonfiction to connect topics and events, promote positive attitudes and activism, understand and honour traditions and cultures, encourage personal and academic interests, and more. More than 30 nonfiction books are used as examples to help educators celebrate curiosity in classrooms.

Please note: There is no cost to attend this virtual workshop. This workshop will be approximately 1 hour to 1.5 hours long. A Zoom link to the workshop will be sent out on the day of the event.

If it takes you longer to get home from your work location, we still suggest registering and coming into the meeting a little bit late.
