Professional Development Workshops for Educators

For the 2011-2012 school year, the Amethyst Demonstration School will be accepting requests for “Workshops by Design”.  Upon request, workshops can be produced to meet the current needs of your professional learning community with regards to the education of students with learning disabilities. Travelling workshops may be scheduled at your site. All applicable costs must be covered as required (mileage, meals, hotel, supply teacher, materials).

In addition, we may also periodically be presenting workshops highlighting pilot projects completed at the Amethyst School .  These dates will be announced on our website and through the school board distribution lists, as they are scheduled.

For more information regarding this process, please contact John Barry, Principal at 519-453-4400, ext. 1270.

Assistive Technology in our Classrooms!

This ½ day workshop will focus on practical strategies for implementing assistive technology tools into the classroom.  Individual student use, as well as teacher directed lesson activities will be demonstrated.  Learn how the staff and students from the Amethyst School use the assistive technology on a daily basis to enhance learning and to meet curriculum expectations.

SMART Bored? Getting SMART with technology

SMART Boards and other technologies can captivate students with interactive and meaningful learning experiences. This presentation demonstrates how educators can utilize SMART Board technology to stimulate their students’ minds and enhance the learning of students with learning disabilities.
