Through the Connected North program, not only
do we have access to fabulous presenters, but we
also have the majority of the materials provided
to us. This is another core piece of this program.
Many of the materials that are required, we are
unable to obtain locally.
Connected North has removed barriers that may
be problematic for classrooms to access these
resources quickly and economically.
The Connected North staff does a great job of
vetting each of the presenters to ensure that
the presentations are engaging and high
quality. We have participated in countless
sessions and many of them, I continue to
return to year after year.
I return to these sessions because they are
outstanding, meeting the curriculum
expectations in fantastic ways that bring
authentic and experiential learning to my
students. Several of the presenters leave my
students begging for more.
When a presentation has been so engaging that students are enthusiastically sharing
about it around the school and in other classes, I know that the learning that took
place was worth every moment.
It is always a bright moment when our principal or other teachers can hear us
throughout the hallways, fully engaging with a presenter, and they bring visitors to
come to check out the learning that is occurring.
We can't wait to share our learning with others.
