It was a big day of professional development at École Good Shepherd School. This morning our teachers took time to discuss best practices in the area of assessment. This afternoon we dove into pros and cons of artificial intelligence and how it can be a valuable tool for teachers. Our educational assistants spent the day learning about executive function and how we can help students develop these crucial skills.
