Dear colleagues,
We trust you enjoyed the sunny autumn weekend. We welcome Kim back on Tuesday from her school visits.
This week will be our preparation time for the professional development around the concepts of international
mindedness and cultural proficiency lead by our guest expert on linguistic and cultural diversity, Jose Medina, in
the following week. With the help of Trevor, Saiko, Kasumi, and Ellen you will have an opportunity to learn about
Jose Medina, discuss ideas, and current practices in your class and come up questions on international mindedness
that may be addressed during Dr. Medina’s visit. On Wednesday we will spend the first hour as in lieu of report
card writing and the second hour is dedicated to learning from our colleagues through Teachers to Teachers
sessions. We will finish the week already on Thursday to enjoy the three-day weekend.
