Visit to ETSB


Paulette (RÉCIT) and Julie (Équipe-choc) worked with some language teachers at ETSB on a snowy day in November. This collaborative working group was a great way to get to know each other, to share our realities and to discuss solutions for language classrooms. A motivating day where pedagogy and technology were the focus! We’ll be returning for follow ups in the new year!


Workshops


The regional consultants (Paulette and Sandra) are also working on workshops on the following topics: a Smart TV ‘how to’ and copyrights. If you have any workshop requests on these or other subjects, please let us know! recitage@recit.qc.ca or requests@agesresources.ca for comprehensive support (Equipe Choc, RECIT and SEC). Keep your eyes open for upcoming offers. We hope to see you soon in your centre!


Thanks for being there!

There is an interesting and humorous perspective video about career choice as a process.

SEC and the Teacher Effect


In the field of education consensus among researchers is not always commonplace, however, all agree on one important fact, the influence of teacher-student relationships on learning holds a crucial position (Saul, R. 2015). In this newsletter, we take time to emphasise the importance of the role of the educational community in the academic journey or our student. Let's take a moment to review research findings in education which underscores the importance of the teacher's role.
