ManACE/MindSet/Microsoft Summer workshops

 Announcing the ManACE/MindSet/Microsoft Summer Sessions

Once again most of the sessions are two-day sessions, but there are a few that are only one day long. The registration fee for all sessions is $35.00 (plus $1.86 registration fee) which is mainly to cover food costs. This is our first increase in more than 5 years! The main costs are covered by MindSet and Microsoft and we appreciate their support very much.

Note that we have:

  • some specialized Smartboard sessions and
  • one for resource teachers or anyone working with special needs students.
We still have to finalize a couple of sessions so check back if you don’t find what you need.

Dates: July 5/6, July 7/8, Aug 30/31

We have some sessions in Winnipeg (at various locations) and some in Elm Creek (it’s worth the trip) and Sunrise SD (also worth a trip).
