Throughout February and into the first week of March, teachers across Alberta took part in their teachers’ convention. Here are highlights from the Greater Edmonton Teachers’ Convention (GETCA), held February 26–27 in Edmonton.
Sessions focused on a wide variety of topics—from adaptive teaching to assessment to traditional Indigenous games and much more—allowing teachers to choose their own professional adventure and bring relevant knowledge, strategies and lessons back to their classrooms.
“This is always a chance to become a learner again and find new ways to engage kids who maybe need a different approach,” shared Allie, a Grade 4 teacher. “You learn something, some takeaways from the speakers but also from the colleagues you sit next to.”
