Chair's Video Message

Hello everyone. As promised, here's a video to kick of the new year. I hope you'll be returning to classes well rested and ready to learn as much as you can about teaching.

In this video I talk about a lot of things, including upcoming workshops, classes held at St. James Church, and developing a learning plan for the Winter term. 

I also address concerns about winter driving. Remember that if you chose to commute, one of the consequences of that choice is that you will need to create a strategy to deal with inclement weather. If you are not a commuter, but you have a spare bed or floor space, perhaps you can offer someone in your cohort a place to sleep when the weather turns nasty.

Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjA0y2Jzvw4

I'd like to share with you another video from the organizers of the Gifted Outreach Conference. This is a wonderful professional development opportunity, and the video provides more information including how to register. Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/a/lakeheadu.ca/file/d/0Bytf8cB4f0DQZmd2RUp0czV6WXM/view?usp=sharing

Have a great week. I'm looking forward to seeing you again!
