Call for Workshop Proposals
The annual FNSA Conference and AGM is an opportunity for teachers, school administrators, and other people involved in the First Nations education system to network and learn from each other and from other professionals. This year, we will offer over 20 different workshops on a variety of topics of interest to First Nations schools.
The FNSA is seeking workshops relating to the theme:
Realizing the Potential of Each Student: Approaches that Work
Successful workshops will focus on actual classroom, school and community-level practices that are successfully increasing student achievement. Presenters are asked to include data showing their results when possible.
Workshops are 1.5 hours in length and presenters typically present their workshop twice. The majority of workshops will have anywhere from 10 to 60 participants, consisting primarily of educators and education administrators.
