Fresh ideas for a new school year

Image: Ken Hoff/ Langley School District

The end of the summer is a time of reflection and anticipation; with the first day of classes on the horizon, educators have the opportunity to incorporate fresh, envigorating ideas into their classroom practice. In Langley, we’ve put together a carefully selected series of professional development workshops in the last week of August designed to provide inspiration and practical advice to make the most of the new year.

We’re excited about these workshops— and we hope that you will be too. You can find a detailed catalogue of workshop offerings in the following pages, as well as a week-at-aglance schedule opposite. Workshops take place at either the School Board Office or the Media Centre at Simonds Elementary. You can find driving directions and more details on the final page of this booklet. Registration is now open at

thinklangley.com We’re using a new registration portal called PD Place this year. It’s a simplified interface that will make signing up for workshops much easier, but might require you to input some new details if you are an out-ofdistrict teacher. Feel free to contact Nick Ubels at nubels@sd35.bc.ca or 604 530 4060 with any questions or concerns. Happy learning! The Professional Services Team

Explore the changing ecology of Africa due to widespread poaching of elephants for their ivory. Elephants play a key role in maintaining the balance of all other species in the community. If poaching continues at the current rate, the African elephant is doomed for extinction in 15-20 years. In the lesson plans we have designed fit the science curriculum for grades 4-7, children will learn the importance of the elephant and how its demise would create not only an environmental crisis, but an global economic crisis. In May 2013, a group of concerned individuals formed an elephant advocacy group called ‘Elephanatics’. The goal of the group is to help the long-term survival of African elephants by spreading awareness and disseminating information about their ecology and conservation in the face of recent resurgence of ivory poaching in Africa. Their objective is to make people aware that poaching is not only an ecological problem, but an global economic problem as well.
