We are excited for another year of our “It’s All About Me Conference!” We are honoured to introduce this years presenters:

Dr. Shelley Moore, Cheryl Song, and Randi Robin.

TOPICS:

The Evolution of Inclusion: In this session, we will look at how the goals of inclusion have continued to shift and evolve, as we learn more about diversity and identity. Participants will reflect on their own contexts and consider next steps for advocacy and action.

Supporting One, Supporting All: Collaborative Support Models for Inclusive Communities: The inclusive planning process is aiming to situate disability as an identity, not a deficit, and so to determine what supports children require, teams are shifting to look at needs, instead of disabilities, as a reference point. In this way, planning for inclusive learning environments can be universal, and anticipate needs of everyone in a community. In this session we will connect to Universal Design for Learning principles and look at how we can plan for a child with a disability, in ways that can support many children in a community.

Successful Circle Time: Discover the secrets to successful circle time with tips and strategies as well as ideas for books, activities, and songs. Participants will learn simple and practical methods to engage and hold children’s attention. We’ll demonstrate a variety of storytelling techniques and ways to share books and provide tips on selecting books for children of different ages and stages. Come ready to sing and be silly and leave with content you can use right away.

You will receive: 6 hour Professional development certificate, lunch, door prizes, amazing presenters, networking, vendors, shopping, and much more!
