Enhancing Teacher Practice Through Andragogy
This fun and active workshop looks at andragogy (the science and practice of adult learning). It provides a multitude of tips, techniques and tools that can be used to create positive professional development opportunities and can also be transferred to classroom planning and instruction in K–12 settings. Bring this workshop into your school and positively impact the learning for all in the building.

The $200 fee includes participant materials, all necessary supplies, instructors’ expenses and up-to-date information. Workshops are appropriate for groups of five or more teachers. Sessions can vary in length, but a two-hour minimum is ideal. There are 41 different workshops, seven of them in French.
The ATA facilitated approximately 400 workshops from September to December 2019.
The content is only one part of the learning that happens. During each workshop, learning processes and strategies are modelled, and these can be incorporated into classrooms immediately following the session.
