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.

Check out this amazing video highlighting from previous conferences: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5NYBXs8YFYzUXpzSFdOQ2V0RTg/view?usp=sharing

If you have passed your practicum(s), the Math Competency Exam and all your courses, and are interested in working with your peers to create a workshop for this conference, you can sign up by contacting Elizabeth Thomas (sethoma1@lakeheadu.ca) or Denise Calvert (dcalvert@lakeheadu.ca) by Friday, January 10th, 2020.

The GO Conference will require students to participate in information and training prior to the event. Dates and times to follow.
