Summer Institutes A Restorative Approach in Schools—Building School Attachment by Making Room for Everybody What if all aspects of a school’s day were considered through a relational lens? This perspective creates a greater potential for every student to feel like they belong, and that teachers care about them, promoting school attachment.

This workshop looks at the “day to day” from a relational perspective, and helps educators look at their schools from a perspective that seeks to make room for everybody.

Music—The Creative Conductor With a series of visual and aural musical cues, The Creative Conductor develops a dialogue with musicians in a unique and free-flowing, in the moment composition. These cues provide the basis for the group's repertoire: they offer a wide variety of compositional and orchestral possibilities and help each new combination of musicians explore and establish their identity, collectively. Once the cues are taught and understood, the conductor and musicians can now spontaneously compose a piece of music, together. This requires quick and decisive thinking on behalf of each musician, whereas the multi-faceted nature of each cue also allows for a great deal of creative interpretation and group improvisation. Creative conduction addresses many problems associated with ensemble playing by developing; listening skills, applying musical terminology, repertoire comprehension, co-operation and team play, concentration and focus, group dynamics and balance. Intended audience: Music teachers grades primary to twelve Leaders: Joel LeBlanc has toured North America and Europe from 1997–2009 with the roots trio Hot Toddy. Composition and improvised music are his current pursuit. Locally, he directs the Overtime Community Improv Choir, co-curates a creative music series (Surgery Series) and is a CIRCUIT presenter/ performer—a national organization

dedicated to developing venues for touring improvisers. Evan Shaw has been performing, composing and teaching music for over 20 years and holds a Master of Music degree from The New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.

Playing with Persona Dolls—A Tool for Teaching and Engaging Young Children in Social Emotional Learning and Social Justice Issues A persona doll is the teacher’s doll. Rather than being used by children for dramatic play whose name, age, identity, family, and gender can change at any time, a persona doll’s personal and social identity is developed by the teacher and remains consistent throughout the year. Teachers use persona dolls to introduce stories related to the children’s lives and to broaden their awareness of various aspects of diversity. During this day, teachers will have the opportunity to develop a persona for their very own doll and craft stories to use when school begins in September while exploring curriculum outcomes and cross-curricular learning experiences that bring the dolls to life and purpose in the classroom environment.

Removing the Mask—Facilitating Conversations around Healthy Living with Boys A pilot project experimented with a gender segregated Healthy Living 9 class this past year with a focus on boys. Classes were held in circle with an emphasis on interactive exercises and conversation. An overarching theme was masculinity and present-day expectations around what it means to be a man, and how those expectations impact the health of guys as well as the health of other genders. The non-traditional environment created a unique space for safe to explore issues that guys rarely discuss with their peers. Participants will leave with an understanding of what youth engagement looks like and with a toolkit of ideas to make Healthy Living class truly a relevant and meaningful experience for youth. Intended audience: Teachers of Healthy Living 7–9, substitute teachers, administrators, counselors, youth health centre facilitators.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for curriculum and lesson design to increase access to learning for all students recognizing the range of learning styles and abilities. In today’s classroom, individual variability is the norm rather than the exception, and UDL can help teachers to meet diverse learning needs and reduce barriers to learning in ways that benefit all students. This introductory workshop will explore the concept of Universal Design for Learning, and introduce three primary principles based on research, that provide a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments, that can be customized to fit individual student learner profiles. Intended audience: Classroom/subject teachers, learning centre and resource teachers, program and student services consultants / facilitators—this workshop is intended for teachers and others working at the grade 7–12 level(s).
