"Write-Ins", also known as writing boot camps, are full-day sessions where doctoral students bring their laptops and their work (theses, comps, assignments) to write in a quiet space, uninterrupted, for the day. They are designed to give you a pleasant and supportive place to write, alongside fellow thesis travelers. During the session, no talking, social media or phone calls allowed in the room. Faculty are on-hand if you choose to step out to consult about any aspect of your doctoral thesis proposal or drafts.
Please register in advance.

EcoSchools School Tours are open to all TDSB staff and OISE teacher candidates to learn from their colleagues proven ways to organize and run the EcoSchools program.
An EcoSchools School Tour is an informal opportunity to share with colleagues how a school takes action to engage students as eco-leaders, teaches students about, for and in the environment and strives to reduce its environmental impact through whole school practices and routines. The school tour highlights areas of strength and growth, so that visiting participants can learn from the host school's experiences through questions and discussion.

Presenter: Sarah Papoff, Past President of CODE, the Council of Ontario Drama and Dance Educators

Time: Thursday, January 17 - 4:30 - 5:30 PM
Location: Room 5-270

Join Sarah Papoff, Past President of CODE, the Council of Ontario Drama and Dance Educators, who will look at how can we use process drama for Inquiry in the elementary classroom to explore sustainability issues and global citizenship with a social justice lens.
What drama conventions lend themselves to this work? How and when might we use them? How can we unpack big systemic ideas like power and privilege with drama? How can we use powerful provocations? What are the entry points? How does role drama and process drama lend itself to exploring many perspectives and missing voices? How can we use these processes in a respectful way without appropriating voice? Teachers will have an opportunity to explore with a pre-created Inquiry example. This workshop will embed the Council of Ontario Drama (www.code.on.ca) and Dance Educators Inquiry resources with practical take-aways for your classroom.
Registration is required.
