ODYSSEY 2014 Superintendent’s Message Once again. the Odyssey District pro-d day event has exceeded expectations and grown to unprecedented levels. And, as in past years, many of the workshops are being offered by our own talented District colleagues as well as other experts from far and wide. The outstanding program assembled by Professional Services provides a myriad of opportunities for SD35 staff to further enhance their skills in our efforts to meet the needs of Langley students. As a District, we are committed to our new vision of becoming an innovative, inspiring and unified learning community and professional development is one step we can take together as a staff toward this goal. The Odyssey 2014 professional development day provides presentations, hands-on workshops and opportunities to connect and collaborate with colleagues and those participating today, whether as presenters or as attendees, will be truly enriched by the experience. Have a great day!
Suzanne Hoffman, Superintendent of Schools
Welcome Message Once again I am incredibly impressed with the wide array of offerings at Odyssey. The workshops on self regulation, use of technology in the classroom, best practices in numeracy and literacy instruction, and middle school pedagogy are all aligned with recent school district initiatives. Furthermore, sessions on student leadership, aboriginal education, restorative action, assessment and even astronomy provide excellent opportunities to expand the repertoire and expertise of staff. It is also great to see so many Langley staff willing to share their expertise and passion to assist with the professional development of their peers. Thank you to all of the staff willing to make this day so meaningful. In addition, I would like to extend my appreciation to the Professional Services department for their commitment to consistently provide Langley with outstanding professional development offerings. Have a great day!
