Chapter Report - March 2021
Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers of Inclusive Education PSA
Good day to all from the Cariboo Chilcotin TIE-BC chapter. We have a great group of ladies within our chapter ranging from School Psychologists, Speech Language Pathologists, Special Education Teachers and classroom teachers. We started off this year debating on what we would like to do and discussed our direction in September. We met through Teams but found that many of us were weary of video chats so we took the opportunity to just take a break from this. We chose to take on a book review as our goal for the 2020-21 year. We used our monies from TIE-BC and our Pro-D Grant to buy books for the group (11 in total).
The book we chose was How We Learn by Stanislas Dehaene (which looks at the research of the brain and why brains learn better than machines). Marianne Okrainetz (teacher) and Charlotte Lundeen (SLP) are still working on Sound Walls at the Marie Sharpe School in Williams Lake. They are working together to trial whether the use of sound walls and Guided Reading assists the learning and understanding of the reading process and how it is learned and processed by a K/1 class.
Our goal is to hopefully meet in April outside on a field to have a great face-to-face chat. Fatigue and Covid-19 has put a damper on this year's fun group get-togethers.
Thank you for the monies to continue in this important pathway.
