The sessions are designed so we hear\u00a0learning stories through four Ignite presentations, with table talk in-between, dinner for more continued conversation and then an opportunity to hear a keynote address. The seating arrangement typically includes three representatives from each school, three schools at a table and up to 10 in total. The teams are committed to all sessions with the intention that they take back their learning, share it with others, and experiment with new ideas around teaching and learning. What happens, however, is that the learning doesn&#8217;t take place just there in that room each evening. We have it livestreamed so others can watch it at home and even those that aren&#8217;t watching the livestream are following along our #sd36learn hashtag. Apparently we were so active in sharing our learning that night that our hashtag was trending during the session.\u00a0It is fascinating to see how professional learning, in an era of technology, is now spilling out of its traditional boxes and spreading across organizations through the power of the internet and social media.<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Horne is a PE teacher from Singapore that was on his spring break to visit relatives in White Rock.\u00a0Our PE Helping Teacher Glenn Young reached out and asked if Nathan would be willing to do an Ignite for us. We were not disappointed! Here is his Ignite: <em><strong>Giving our Students a Physical Education for the Future.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kn2PbUSduc4?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Alyssa Becker, a Science teacher from Sullivan Heights Secondary shares with us her passion about travelling to new places with her students, <em><strong>Student Travel<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/isA0QVzwD_E?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Curtis Weibe, a Teacher-Librarian from Strawberry Hill Elementary challenges us to <em><strong>Think Differently<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4ikixLjPbr8?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Each night I try to keep something that we are doing a bit of a surprise for the attendees. Bringing in young people, as young as grade 2, to present at Ignite was a wonderful and refreshing opportunity for us as educators to learn right from students.

Ministry of Education. Her presentation was outstanding and\u00a0she encouraged us not to wait for the Ministry to make changes to legislation or curriculum\u00a0but to do what we know is right for our students. In her own words,\u00a0&#8220;We can\u2019t wait for the Ministry of Education\u00a0to clear all the brush. It has to come from you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CnfPAEzLffc?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I hope you find the opportunity to enjoy these stories and perhaps even show\u00a0a clip to\u00a0your colleagues or use one as a conversation starter at a meeting.
