teacher activity sheets EPCOR has created for teachers, and learn fun and

Culture and Arts Education
Tuesday, January 22, 2002
4:30 – 6:30 PM
Presenter:  Maria Kliavkoff, Director Education EPCOR CENTRE
Given recent world events, this course is timely and crucial.  How do we use
the arts when teaching culture?  What defines art and what defines culture?
The arts are an exciting way to explore and communicate who we are to the
world, but how do we use art to learn about others?  Join us for a lively
conversation that will include artists and teachers in brainstorming ways to
explore these issues and develop practical classroom applications.

Journaling in the Classroom
Tuesday, January 29th, 2002
4:30-6:30 PM
Presenter:  Cathy Cochrane
Journal writing allows students to be at the very centre of their inquiry
and reflection.   Reflective writing that takes place throughout the school
year becomes a powerful tool for connecting and changing ideas; it is a
language-based medium that can be used to paint a landscape of learning.
