Presuming Competence

This workshop will be hosted at LCSS’s Welcome Centre 6470 201 St. Langley. This will be a large gathering with space for up to 50 participants. As space is limited, we encourage early registration to secure your spot. Light refreshments will be provided.

In this session we will learn about presuming competence and potential, a critical mind shift that encourages strength based perspectives and providing opportunities for all learners. Participants will have opportunities to reflect, discuss, and ask questions. They will leave with ideas to continue the conversation, and with access to related resources to further their learning and implement new practices.
