100 Mile Elementary
French Immersion educators from École 100 Mile Elementary, Nesika, Lake City Senior Secondary, and Peter Skene Ogden recently engaged in a cross-school professional learning session designed to strengthen instructional practice. Opportunities for French Immersion staff to collaborate across sites are limited, making this gathering a valuable forum for connection and shared growth.
The session emphasized the exchange of resources, strategies, and classroom innovations aimed at sustaining student engagement in French language learning within a minority-language environment. Educators highlighted effective practices in oral language development, cultural integration, and instructional design that contribute to high-quality learning experiences.
This collaboration directly enhances instructional capacity across the district. By aligning approaches and leveraging collective expertise, French Immersion teachers are better positioned to provide consistent, engaging, and rigorous programming from the elementary level through to secondary graduation. The initiative underscores a district-wide commitment to professional excellence and to the long-term success of French Immersion education.
