Différencier en FLS au secondaire grâce à l’IA : Soutenir la littératie, la rétention et la motivation.

Limited Capacity seats available

Cet atelier de 75 minutes s’adresse aux enseignants de FLS au secondaire confrontés à une hétérogénéité croissante des profils d’élèves, à des défis marqués en littératie ainsi qu’à une baisse de motivation et d’engagement. Nous explorerons des stratégies pédagogiques concrètes pour favoriser l’acquisition et la rétention du vocabulaire par des mises en situation signifiantes pour renforcer la motivation des élèves.

Tout au long de cet atelier, des exemples concrets illustreront comment l’intelligence artificielle peut aider l’enseignant à adapter les textes, les tâches et les appuis linguistiques, tout en respectant la progression des apprentissages et les exigences du secondaire. Les balises sur les usages pertinents de l’IA et sur ses limites en contexte scolaire seront aussi présentées.

Les recherches démontrent que l'enseignement explicite est une des meilleures méthodes pour s'assurer que tous nos élèves réussissent. Lors de cet atelier sans prétention, je vais vous montrer la méthode de travail et d'organisation que j'utilise pour créer des activités pédagogiques, autant en lecture, qu'en écriture et en interaction orale, avec la littérature jeunesse. À la fin de l'atelier, j'aimerais qu'on réserve du temps pour créer des leçons ensemble, avec un gabarit qui préconise l'enseignement explicite. Apportez vos albums de littérature jeunesse préférés si vous le désirez!

Secondary Math: Rich Tasks and Formative Assessment to Develop Critical Thinking in Competency 1 and 2

Rich tasks can deepen student understanding, promote critical thinking, and encourage meaningful engagement without sacrificing rigour. In this hands-on workshop, teachers will explore classroom-ready examples that help students reason, justify, and reflect on their learning. We’ll look at how rich tasks can be used in everyday instruction, as well as how tasks that develop the C1 competency can help students prepare for summative C2 assessments. Participants will also have time to work directly with selected examples and consider how they could be adapted for their own classrooms. We’ll also explore practical strategies for creating rich tasks using existing materials, helping reduce prep time without compromising quality. Whether you’re new to rich tasks or looking to expand your toolkit, this session offers concrete steps for making critical thinking a natural part of your math classroom.

In this workshop participants will learn how to code a simple physical computing setup on a Raspberry Pi using motors, lights, etc. and python programming language. It will be an opportunity to have a hands-on experience with the equipment and practice a coding exercise which you could then adapt or use on your equipment back at your school.

This workshop will be aimed at beginners and teachers who may be interested in this topic but may not know how to get started or how to incorporate physical computing using a Raspberry Pi computer.

Are your students doing the intellectual heavy lifting in your classroom? In this workshop on "Building Ratio" we will explore how to successfully shift the cognitive work—the thinking, writing, analyzing, and talking—from the teacher to the students.

You will walk away with a practical, easy-to-implement toolkit of engaging techniques designed to multiply the number of voices in your room and push your students to think harder.

Join us to learn how to step back, boost the ratio, and make every student an active, focused participant in their own learning!

I am a former All-Canadian and pro basketball player. I grew up in a multisport community where play mattered as much as competition. After my career, I wanted a better way to train young athletes. I focused on fast decisions, because I saw that most systems ignored this skill.
