North Central Teacher's Convention Association | February 5-6th, 2008

I gave a presentation called "Vision of a Diverse, Inclusive Canada" for the North Central Teacher's Convention Association (NCTCA), of the Alberta Teacher's Association. They hold an annual Teacher's Conference. This year's conference was called "Learning from Canadians":

The theme for this year says it all! It highlights the skills and expertise within our country. Along with the infusion of citizenship into all aspects of the Alberta Curriculum, we strive to open our students' minds and prepare them for the 21st Century. We envision the leaders of tomorrow to be individuals shaped by Canadian expertise. Convention 2009 will showcase a multitude of Canadian Voices that reflect the professional strengths Canada has to offer, as well as reinforce the important contributions teachers make each and everyday!

My presentation was similar to the one I gave as part of the Knox Lenten Lecture Series in March 2008, but accompanied with slides.
