Bill Allen brings fresh ideas to PEI

Saturday morning, May 13th, Bill Allen, enrichment coordinator at the Western School District in CornerBrook, NL, took the stage and presented trustees, parents, principals, board directors and Department of Education staff his many different ideas for providing enrichment opportunities to students from the elementary levels to secondary levels.

The session was well-attended, it made us aware of the importance of thinking about the higher achiever students and the ones that have particular talents and affinities in certain areas more than others. We now can start thinking of clusters and mini courses for our PEI students, just to name a few.

Thank you to all who came. Thanks to Bill. And thanks to our president who baked and prepared all the goodies!
