Looking for GO Conference Participants!!

Hi Teacher Candidates! 

The Gifted Outreach (GO) Conference takes place each May. This year's date will be Friday, May 8, 2020.  It is an amazing opportunity for 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.
