Julia Myer - Right to Play This workshop is highly interactive and will demonstrate Right To Play’s world renowned teaching methodology of creating memorable learning experiences for students and teachers in the classroom. Since 2006, Right To Play has successfully delivered more than 7,000 FREE resources to Canadian schools called Playbook: Learning To Play, Playing To Learn in order to help Canadian children learn about social justice issues around the world and what action they can take to make a difference. You will see videos, hear stories, play a sampling of the activities from the Playbook and learn new techniques to enhance your students’ educational experience and encourage them to think critically about global issues. The Playbook is developed for grades four through six and comprises 16 curriculum-based lesson plans that address learning outcomes for social studies, literacy, character education and physical education and health. Each teacher will receive a complementary Playbook by attending this unique workshop.
