Curriculum Resource Development Workshops
SACSC offers a number of professional development opportunities designed to help teachers and other staff members implement SACS resources, reflect on teaching practice and learn strategies that promote positive social behaviours and attitudes. The workshops, tailored to the needs of the staff, are intended to aid implementation through collaborative team processes and help teachers integrate SACSC principles into the Alberta curriculum. The inservices for the curriculum resources are designed to help teachers foster in students the skills and attitudes needed to develop self-esteem, respect diversity, avoid prejudice, manage anger, deal with bullying and work cooperatively to resolve conflict. The curriculum resources fully integrate violence prevention and character education into a government-mandated curriculum in all subjects and grades. Advanced training prepares lead teachers to deliver the workshops.
For information on the other SACSC workshops, or for a schedule of upcoming workshops, please visit the Workshops page.
