SUMMARY:Deep Dive - Agency in Action: Relationships and Real-World Learning Spark Ownership
DESCRIPTION:This energizing\, student-powered professional learning session explores what agency can look like when classrooms are built around identity and belonging\, valuing student voice\, integrated disciplines\, and inspired authentic learning. Grounded in the BC Curriculum and Shane Safir’s Agency Model\, the session examines how clear learning goals\, strong relationships\, purposeful inquiry\, and assessment for learning work together to spark curiosity\, commitment\, and genuine ownership.\n \n Drawing on examples from a course called AP Passion to Action\, an integrated Grade 11–12 course weaving English First Peoples\, AP Seminar\, Social Justice\, Careers and Capstone\, land-based learning\, and partnerships with local Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers\, participants will see how interdisciplinary design invites students to pursue questions that matter to them and their communities.\n \n Co-designed and co-led by students\, the session includes candid student perspectives on what makes learning feel challenging\, human\, and worth the effort. Educators will hear directly how building strong\, caring relationships with and between students\, co-creating criteria\, and building brave learning spaces supports risk-taking\, belonging\, and academic excellence.\n \n Participants will discover that agency is not a free-for-all. It is the product of intentional design: rigorous expectations\, authentic audiences\, real-world problems\, and integrated pathways that honour student identity and voice. Educators will have time to interact with students\, build collective knowledge\, and collaborate with each other. They will leave with concrete strategies and a renewed momentum to create classrooms where students do more than comply. They participate. They think deeply. And they show up.\n \n Integrated Disciplines: This Deep Dive welcomes educators of all grades and subject areas who are curious about how integrated learning designs can strengthen student agency\, as well as teacher-leaders and school administrators building innovative cultures and district-level teams committed to system-wide transformation.\n \n Collaborative Care: This Deep Dive will be grounded in collaborative care and shared inquiry\, immersing educators in relational learning experiences that mirror the cultures of trust and belonging we want students to experience every day.\n \n Inspired Authentic Learning: Educators won’t just hear about the strategies\; they’ll live them. Through guided experiences\, rich dialogue\, and collaborative planning\, participants will co-create knowledge and leave with ideas ready to implement in their own contexts.

SUMMARY:Deep Dive - Breaking the Blocks: Interdisciplinary Design Jam
DESCRIPTION:The Breaking the Blocks: Interdisciplinary Design Jam will be deeply connected to the core pillars of a deep dive - Integrated disciplines\, Collaborative Care\, and Inspired Authentic Learning. I hope that teachers/teams of teachers can work together to plan a real\, or speculative\, fully integrated learning experience for their real school context that knocks down traditional curricular barriers\, creates authentic learning for the participants (and authentic learning\, later on\, for their students)\, and reflects their real-life work/community context\, needs\, and kids. The focus of this workshop is to think big\, get our hands dirty with the BC Curriculum\, and create something that can transform opportunities for kids.

SUMMARY:Deep Dive - Community Design Lab: Solving Real Problems Together
DESCRIPTION:In this immersive Deep Dive\, participants will solve a real problem for an actual Chilliwack community partner\, experiencing firsthand the power of authentic learning. This is not a simulation - participants will work with real stakeholders facing real challenges\, using design thinking and place-based exploration to develop tangible solutions.\n \n What Participants Will Experience:\n • Morning: Meet community partners (local businesses\, nonprofits\, or organizations) who present genuine challenges they're facing. Participants engage in empathy interviews and observation\, practicing the art of understanding before solving. It would be great if we could do this at partner offices or off site\, but we could bring them to us\, if necessary.\n • Midday: Take the problem outdoors to a natural area in Chilliwack. Use nature as both metaphor and method—exploring how natural systems solve similar problems\, engaging in reflective wandering\, and allowing ideas to emerge through movement and connection to place.\n • Afternoon: Return to rapid ideation and prototyping using design thinking protocols. Community partners remain engaged throughout\, providing real feedback and co-designing solutions with participants. This creates authentic iteration and demonstrates learning with real stakes.\n • Exhibition: Participants present their prototyped solutions to stakeholders AND reflect on their metacognitive journey. They will ask questions of themselves like\, "What did we have to learn? What disciplines emerged? How did authentic learning change our engagement?"\n \n What Participants Will Learn:\n Participants will directly experience the three Deeper Learning Competencies:\n • Integrated Disciplines: Real problems demand multiple ways of knowing like biology\, systems thinking\, communication\, design\, empathy\, and more naturally emerge when solving for real people.\n • Collaborative Care: Working with actual community stakeholders builds authentic relationships\, empathy\, and accountability. Co-design with partners models true collaboration.\n • Inspired Authentic Learning: When learning has real consequences and real audiences\, engagement transforms. Participants feel the difference between simulated and authentic work.\n \n What Participants Will Take Away:\n Educators will leave with:\n • Direct experience of being the learner in an authentic\, high-stakes scenario\n • Understanding of how to build community partnerships for real problem-solving\n • Protocols for design thinking in educational contexts\n • Insight into place-based learning that integrates outdoor environments\n • Metacognitive awareness of how authentic learning feels different from traditional approaches\n • Confidence to replicate this model with their own students and communities\n \n This Deep Dive models exactly what participants can create for students: learning experiences where the work matters beyond the classroom\, where community members are partners\, and where students become "solutioneers" for real challenges.

SUMMARY:Deep Dive - Igniting the P’ax: Sparking a Fire of Systemic Change Within Our Community
DESCRIPTION:“All that we are is story.” - Richard Wagamese. Many Indigenous worldviews\, including syilx Okanagan\, uphold story to reveal values\, beliefs\, and protocols for living in a good way. In sharing the story of our journey from “this is the way we’ve always done it” to honouring truth\, reconciliation\, and Indigenous brilliance\, we hope to create conditions for others to share their lived experiences in a deeply reflective process. Using our school community’s story\, we will invite participants to reveal and reflect upon their own values and beliefs alongside ours so that we might learn and lead in a good way\, together.\n \n Through materials\, loose parts\, arts-based mediums\, and land-based experiences\, participants will reflect on their own community of collaborators\, the beliefs/values that guide their actions\, the conditions that exist - and the conditions they would like to create\, and what might be their next spark.

SUMMARY:Deep Dive - Leading the Shift: Fostering Cultures of Collaborative Innovation
DESCRIPTION:This Deep Dive invites participants into the experience of collaborative innovation\, not as a concept to discuss\, but as a culture to inhabit. Through circle processes\, thinking materials\, visible thinking routines\, and shared documentation\, participants will engage in learning that models how communities grow agency\, efficacy\, and trust. Together\, we will surface the cultural stories shaping our classrooms\, schools\, and districts and explore what stories we want to be living into next. Participants will learn by doing\, first through uncovering values and beliefs about teaching and learning\, then through experiencing pedagogical moves that are grounded in the OECD Principles of Learning\, the First Peoples Principles of Learning\, and Shane Safir’s agency framework. We will make the learning visible through intentional debriefs that connect beliefs and values to action. Change theory\, including Kotter’s model\, will be woven in to support sustainable\, people-centered transformation rather than initiative overload.\n Educators will leave with practical facilitation moves\, inquiry structures\, and design principles they can immediately adapt to foster collaborative professionalism\, teacher leadership\, and community-connected\, action-oriented learning\, regardless of your job title or context. Part of the time will be spent creating an actionable plan for fostering student and teacher agency and distributed leadership in schools or districts. Integrated Disciplines: This Deep Dive is designed for all educators (regardless of grade level or content)\, teacher-leaders\, building administrators looking to foster innovative cultures\, and district-level educators and administrators looking to transform their district. Collaborative Care: This Deep Dive will be relational and consist of collective learning experiences. Inspired Authentic Learning: through purpose-driven design that invites both educators and learners to take meaningful action and embrace risk-taking.

SUMMARY:Deep Dive - Lessons That Inspire: Deeper Instruction
DESCRIPTION:Deeper Learning needs to happen all day long—not just in projects or special events. We will consider frameworks for and examples of Deeper Instruction: Lessons that challenge\, engage\, and empower students to go deeper in every lesson in every subject. We will examine frameworks for Deeper Instruction\, and much of our time will be spent analyzing videos of Deeper Lessons across a range of classrooms\, grade levels\, subject areas\, and contexts. We will make connections to our own practices\, and culminate in preparing Teaching Posters to share our learning.

SUMMARY:Deep Dive - Relational Pedagogy: Teaching Through Connection\, Story\, and Place
DESCRIPTION:This Deep Dive invites participants into an immersive\, land-connected\, and story-based learning experience rooted in relational pedagogy. Rather than learning about relationships as a concept\, participants will learn through relationship itself\, with land\, with story\, with one another\, and with their own evolving teaching identity.\n\nEducators will experience a series of interconnected relational practices including a land-based arrival\, a Four Directions Walk grounded in the Medicine Wheel\, Story work Circles\, and the creation of a Learning Bundle\, a tangible artifact representing reciprocal learning and accountability. The session models learning as a living\, participatory process shaped by connection\, belonging\, and responsibility rather than content transmission alone.\n\nGrounded in the work of Shawn Wilson and Gregory Cajete\, this Deep Dive explores learning as ceremony\, participation\, and relationship. Participants will experience how story functions as pedagogy\, how circle builds collective meaning\, and how learning can be assessed through relational accountability rather than compliance.\n\nBy the end of the session\, participants will:\n\n• Experience relational pedagogy as participatory\, story-based\, and land-connected learning\n• Engage in circle processes grounded in respect\, reciprocity\, responsibility\, and reverence\n• Create a Learning Bundle symbolizing mutual learning\, gifting\, and accountability\n• Reflect on how relational pedagogy can transform assessment\, inquiry\, and classroom culture\n• Leave with both a tangible artifact and an embodied understanding of relational teaching\n\nConnection to Deeper Learning Competencies\n\nIntegrated Disciplines\nThis Deep Dive weaves together Indigenous pedagogy\, land-based learning\, story\, assessment\, leadership\, and inquiry into a single living practice. Learning is not siloed by subject area\, participants experience how place\, narrative\, reflection\, and material making naturally integrate across disciplines. The Medicine Wheel structure models holistic thinking that educators can adapt into curriculum design\, inquiry projects\, and assessment frameworks.\n\nCollaborative Care\nRelationship is the curriculum. Through circle processes\, object exchange\, partnered reflection\, and collective meaning-making\, participants directly experience learning as relational\, reciprocal\, and emotionally grounded. Vulnerability\, listening\, gratitude\, and accountability are not added on\, they become central pedagogical tools. This Deep Dive builds educator capacity to cultivate belonging-driven classrooms and leadership cultures rooted in care rather than control.\n\nInspired Authentic Learning\nParticipants engage in authentic\, meaning-rich learning that is personal\, emotional\, symbolic\, and reflective. The Learning Bundle serves as both artifact and metaphor\, representing how learning moves through giving and receiving. Rather than consuming a strategy\, educators become the learning\, connecting deeply to purpose\, identity\, and ethical responsibility. The experience is intended to reshape how participants understand assessment\, engagement\, and what “rigor” truly means.\n\nWhat Participants Take Away\n\n• A Learning Bundle symbolizing relational commitments• Practical circle and story work structures for immediate classroom use• Language for discussing relational assessment and inquiry• A renewed understanding of teaching as ceremony\, relationship\, and responsibility• A deepened sense that who we are in relationship matters as much as what we teach\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Deep Dive - Roll for Agency: How Tabletop Play Puts Learners in the Story
DESCRIPTION:What if your classroom became a living story your students could step into?\n\nIn this Deep Dive\, you’ll learn how to design rich\, story-driven experiences—from world-building to character creation to dynamic\, unfolding narratives—and then bring them to life through play.\n\nStorytelling is already a familiar tool in classrooms. We read stories\, analyze them\, and discuss their meaning. This session invites educators to take the next step: not just working with stories\, but co-creating them with learners in real time.\n\nIn this immersive\, full-day Deep Dive\, participants will step into collaborative storytelling through accessible tabletop role-playing experiences. You’ll take on the role of a learner—making decisions\, inhabiting characters\, navigating uncertainty\, and shaping a shared narrative alongside others.\n \n Participants will experience how role-playing:\n • Centers student voice and agency\n • Encourages perspective-taking\, empathy\, and collaboration\n • Makes decision-making and consequence visible\n • Supports inclusive\, equitable participation by distributing power and authorship\n \n Throughout the session\, we will pause to reflect and connect these experiences to classroom practice\, literacy\, and deeper learning competencies.\n \n You’ll use a flexible framework and begin building your own story-driven learning experience—starting with world-building\, moving into character creation\, and shaping the narrative dynamics that bring it all together.&nbsp\;\n\nNo prior role-playing or gaming experience is required. This session is about storytelling\, learning design\, and creating experiences that students can step into and shape.\n\n Participants will leave with:\n • A firsthand experience of role-playing as a learning tool\n • A practical framework for turning stories into co-created learning experiences\n • A designed role-playing concept ready to adapt for their students\n

SUMMARY:Deep Dive - Teaching at the Table: Collaborative Learning Through Role-Playing Games
DESCRIPTION:What will participants experience?\n Participants will experience playing a tabletop role-playing game (rpg) as a player\, discussing their experience\, and working together to design their own game for learning or exploration of a topic.\n \n What and how will they learn?\n Participants will have an opportunity to learn about and participate in the role-playing game Wanderlust by Star West Morgan. After the gameplay experience\, we will discuss rpgs\, game mechanics\, and how tabletop role-playing games can support development and learning as collaborative self-exploration and transformation. Participants will then have a chance to design or adapt their own rpg for exploring a topic\, social or academic competency\, or learning goal of their choice.\n \n What will they take away?\n Participants will take away insights into what tabletop rpgs are\, how they can contribute to collaborative and cooperative learning\, and transformative experiences. They will gain experience playing an rpg\, and some understanding of game mechanics. They will hopefully also take away some concrete ideas about implementing rpgs into their teaching and learning practices.\n \n This workshop connects especially to the Deeper Learning Competency of Collaborative Care. Role-playing games are spaces of deep collaboration\, reciprocity\, and power-sharing. My goal with presentations is to create an experience based in these principles\, and encourage participants to collaborate\, share\, and support\, both in and outside of gameplay.

SUMMARY:Deep Dive - The Dream of a Different School: Agency\, Belief\, & Collective Efficacy
DESCRIPTION:Step inside the Canyon Falls Middle School story—a seven-year journey rooted in a shared belief that schools thrive when students and educators experience deep agency\, and true community. In this immersive Deep Dive\, participants will explore how CMS intentionally designed the conditions for collaborative professionalism\, creating enabling structures for increased learner agency and deeper learning. Through hands-on\, interactive experiences\, educators will uncover how integrated\, multidisciplinary learning and the building of collective teacher efficacy lead to meaningful student impact. Participants will engage with the vision\, research\, and learning principles that guide CMS and see how they come alive through community structures\, looping\, competency-based design\, and embedded reflection. Student and teacher voices\, captured through authentic artifacts\, video\, and documentation\, will anchor the experience and connect every decision back to learners. This session will equip participants with practical\, transferable structures and practices they can apply to their own classroom\, school\, or district.

SUMMARY:Den Talks - The Great School Debate
DESCRIPTION:What happens when a room full of educators has to design a school together... while passionately arguing for ideas they may not actually believe?\n\nIn this highly participatory Den Talk\, attendees will take part in a playful “turncoat” debate experience where they’ll be randomly assigned opposing sides of foundational educational issues. But there’s a twist: midway through each debate\, participants must physically switch sides and argue the opposite perspective.\n\nFacilitated by members of the Classmate team\, this session blends educational philosophy\, improvisation\, and structured debate into an experience that is equal parts thoughtful\, funny\, and unexpectedly revealing. Participants will help “found” a fictional school together\, gradually shaping its culture and values through a series of live debates.\n\nThis is not a sit-and-listen session. Participants will be invited to speak\, move\, debate\, improvise\, reflect\, and inhabit perspectives beyond their own in a safe\, playful environment.\nRather than trying to arrive at the “correct” answers about education\, this Den Talk explores the tensions underneath school design and what those tensions reveal about trust\, authority\, creativity\, structure\, and learning itself.

SUMMARY:Den Talks - When the Land Becomes the Teacher
DESCRIPTION:This Den Talk will be a facilitated conversation reflecting on a completed year-long on-the-land learning journey with a Grade 6/7 class called Desert Trails and Lake Tales. What began as a simple question\, “What do you think about doing some on-the-land learning?” quickly showed that the reality is this kind of learning is hard. Staying in the classroom and doing what is familiar is easier. Choosing to learn on the land required time\, coordination\, support\, some stress\, and a willingness to sit with uncertainty. Grounded in the First Peoples Principles of Learning\, this session invites educators into an honest discussion about what shifted when land\, relationships\, and community became central to learning.\n \n \n Rather than presenting a polished program or model\, this session will share stories\, student voice\, and teacher reflection to explore how learning grew through a “yes\, and…” mindset. Participants will be encouraged to engage in a guided conversation about how resourcing learning through people\, place\, and Indigenous support structures made the hard work possible\, what tensions arose along the way\, and what educators notice when learning is allowed to unfold through lived experience rather than predetermined outcomes.

SUMMARY:Workshop - Purposeful Field Trips: Designing Learning Beyond the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:A meaningful field trip isn't only defined by where you go — it's shaped by what students do when they get there.\n \n This workshop invites educators to reimagine field trips as intentional learning experiences designed with purpose\, student agency\, and reflection at the center.\n \n Participants will explore how thoughtful pre-work\, clear intention during the visit\, and meaningful post-trip projects can transform field trips from passive visits into powerful learning experiences. Drawing on real classroom examples (including a Grade 6 documentary field study at the Vancouver Aquarium)\, the workshop highlights how students can shift from visitors to researchers\, creators\, and field workers.\n \n Through hands-on activities and collaborative planning\, participants will learn a flexible framework for designing field trips that:\n • Deeply connect to curriculum\n • Center student voice and choice\n • Encourage observation\, documentation\, and reflection\n • Expand the range of possible field trip locations\n • Lead to rich pre and post-trip learning and projects\n \n Participants will leave with a concrete field trip plan they can adapt for their own context\, and a renewed sense of what’s possible when learning leaves the classroom with intention.

SUMMARY:Workshop - So….How Do We Actually Transform Student Learning?
DESCRIPTION:Transforming student learning does not happen by accident. It happens when educators and leaders align around a clear vision and plan for teaching and learning and intentionally design the conditions to bring it to life. This Deep Dive is for teacher leaders\, system leaders\, and/or district teams who want to move beyond isolated initiatives toward transformative change of learning in classrooms\, schools\, and districts.\n \n Participants will develop an aspirational vision for change\, and apply research on leading change to develop a concrete theory of action to make it happen. Through hands-on learning\, dialogue\, and inquiry\, you will examine systems thinking\, research on effective change\, and practical ways to align pedagogy\, professional learning\, and improvement efforts.\n \n You will leave with concrete tools and artifacts\, including a draft theory of action\, a clear pedagogical focus for change\, and an Observable Impact Model to guide evidence collection and next steps. Attending with a team is strongly encouraged to strengthen shared leadership and coherence.
