MSCA Board Meeting
Thursday, January 19, 2012
4:30–5:30pm Free PD session "Teaching in Ethiopia"
Gemma Skelton (Vincent Massey Collegiate) and Jennifer Stewart (Garden City Collegiate) will delight you with a presentation on their experience teaching in Ethiopia this summer as part of a University of Manitoba Travel Study course in partnership with the Canadian Humanitarian Organization.
With four other Winnipeg educators, we worked alongside Ethiopian teaching partners and aid agencies to provide child centered activities to students living in areas of poverty and low income. Sustainability and global citizenship were key areas of focus during our time working with families, students and communities both in the capital city of Addis Ababa and in the country region of Amaya. We look forward to sharing, engaging and enlightening you with our personal and shared experiences.
5:30–6:30 pm Board meeting
