2005s

Recent announcements by the federal government indicate an increase in immigration targets in order to meet Canada’s economic needs. Most newcomers come to Ontario, and more of them are expected to settle in smaller towns and communities across Ontario. It is important for all schools to get ready for linguistic and cultural diversity in the classroom!

We were very pleased that Dr. Loewenberg Ball agreed to be a part of our webcasts for the 2005-2006 school year. This webcast provided an excellent opportunity for educators to get an overview of the mathematics knowledge necessary for teaching in the elementary classroom and ask questions via email.

In this webcast, David speaks to prospective teachers at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, and speaks at a question-and-answer period with a group of teachers from the Rainbow School district in Sudbury, Ontario.
