The Ever Active Schools Summer Institute (EASSI) is a unique professional learning opportunity designed to empower teachers and those working with children and youth on specific priorities related to wellness. The theme of the institute changes from year to year, and it is hosted at the end of summer holidays so that you can return to your classroom prepared to a year of success.
The topic of this year's Institute is "Connecting to Land and Nature Based Learning". According to David Sobel "In the face of indoor-ification, a cultural and educational movement is emerging-focused on new approaches to nature based education." Come learn about some of these trends and reclaim indigenous wisdom on the importance of land.
This year's theme will have exciting sessions related to:
Lessons from Indigenous Teachings
