Inquiry Team funded by ReadingBC grant Presents at Investigating Our Practice Conference at UBC in the Faculty of Education.
Posted on May 15th 2016

May 14th, 2016, the 19th Annual Investigating Our Practice (IOP) Conference for Educators took place at UBC.  Faculty Coordinator of the Social-Emotional Learning module, Claire Rushton, two student teachers, Alison Nasato & Alli Tufaro, and Provincial Coordinator, Carrie Froese presented on The Outdoor Classroom:  Taking learning and purposeful play outside, rain or shine.  Their work came out of their inquiry framed on Halbert and Kaser's book, Spirals of Inquiry.  These books were provided to the International Literacy Association members by ReadingBC.  Well worth the money.

For a full account, go to the  Inquire2Empower blog post The Outdoor Classroom:  Taking learning and purposeful play outside, rain or shine written by Carrie Froese.

Outreach Update from Uganda
Posted on April 23rd 2016

Check out Honey Halpern's update on the Stand Tall School in Uganda under the outreach tab.  Excited about the ReadingBC contribution to this worthwhile project.

Promoting Cultural Awareness
Posted on April 23rd 2016

Donna McCormick chaired a RedingBC literacy project in 2011 that is every bit as relevant today.  Find Promoting Cultural Awareness in B.C. through the Use of Children's Literature under the Literature Project tab.  It would be the basis for a great application for funding from ReadingBC.
