EVENT OVERVIEW
The Kingfisher Interpretive Centre Society is hosting a Provincial Pro-d event for the Oct. 25th Provincial Day. All of the morning sessions will take place at AL Fortune Secondary School (beginning at 8:30) in Enderby with two venue options for the afternoon. Participants are able to choose either outdoor field studies at the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre or remain at AL Fortune for in-class “salmonars”. Members of the public are invited to join us for this conference.
The three unifying themes are:
• Educating Beyond Fear and Confusion about Climate Change: Developing Community Resilience
Dr Milt McClaren – emeritus professor SFU
• Indigenous perspectives on Bringing Salmon Back to Life
Dr Bill Cohen – Okanagan College
• Salmon Study – The Newly Revised BC Curriculum - harmonizing the study of salmon with the new curriculum, emphasizing place based learning, competency based learning and inquiry learning.
Dr Nan Stevens – TRU
K-12 teachers and post-secondary students are invited to attend. Lunch, coffee and snacks will be provided.
Afternoon Venue: Kingfisher Interpretive Centre
Bussing will be provided to the field site and you will have the choice of participating in three of the following 30 minute learning stations:
• Watershed model
• Aquatic invertebrate monitoring (Bug Soup)
• Bits about birds
• Indigenous traditional fishing methods
• Indigenous story telling (To Be Confirmed [TBC])
• The interior cedar hemlock rainforest walk
• Connecting to place through story
• Best practices for primary outdoor education
• Ask a fisheries biologist (TBC)
• Campfire water music
• Salmon station
Afternoon Venue: AL Fortune Secondary
AL Fortune Secondary will offer small group, one hour "salmonars" for those who choose to delve deeper into the keynote topics with presenters.
A session on journaling with David Barnum of UBCO will also be an option. The journaling session isn’t about drawing perfect flowers but an overview of how can we support students to express their wonderings, thinking and understanding of environmental experiences.
Each topic will be offered twice.
Special thanks go to:
• Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation
• School District 83 North Okanagan/Shuswap for their contribution of busing and the venue.
