Learning in the Primary Years Resources
We had the privilege of spending the morning learning from Carol Johns, a retired school teacher who has devoted her life to advocating for best practice procedures in the primary (and beyond) years. She was instrumental in developing a beautiful document called “Learning in the Primary Years,” which has been supported by the BC Ministry of Education. Here are some of the resources we learned about during our workshop.
