This year the GO Conference will be on Friday May 5, 2017, and the theme is Games/Gaming and Technology. It is an amazing opportunity for all teacher candidates. Not only does it allow you to plan an interactive learning session geared towards Grade 4 to 8 gifted students within Simcoe County, but it allows you to work in collaboration with SCDSB staff to plan the conference itself! This allows you to gain valuable skills, knowledge and training that can be applied when working with gifted students and is a great asset to have on any resume. The GO conference is not only a fun day, but it is a highly enriching process for all involved. Participants will also receive a Co-Curricular Record credit!

The GO Conference will require students to participate in information and training sessions prior to the event. The first training session will be on Wednesday February 8, 2017, from 4:30-6:30pm in OH4 at Heritage Place.
