Special Education Teachers from Holland Visit Sagonaska

On April 29th, three special education teachers from Amsterdam, Netherlands visited Sagonaska. These teachers were from Orion Schools, who serve nearly 270 students with a range of learning needs.

In the morning, the teachers from Holland met Sagonaska students and staff before observing some of the strategies our teachers use to develop literacy skills. In the afternoon, John Scully from 6Social facilitated a problem-solving session, in which both schools explored collaborative opportunities going forward between our students.

During the day, Sagonaska students were able to explain to our international visitors the learning strategies they have developed this year and reflect on why they are important for their individual needs.

On May 1st, Sagonaska teachers will be teaming up with the Orion teachers to present at the Canadian Learning & Technology Conference.

We are excited about all the opportunities to develop global connections for our students at Sagonaska.
