We were excited to welcome Kaleb Child (Musgam'dzi) as our conference keynote!

BCATML's annual conference, Celebrating Languages, returns to Burnaby South Secondary School this year on Friday, Oct. 21, 2016. 

We are excited to announce 
Kaleb Child (Musgam'dzi) 
as this year's conference keynote. His presentation "Tlayu'la gaxans gwi'gwala'yu - Making Collective Change for All Children" will discuss how to infuse Aboriginal ways of knowing and perspectives into your classroom. Kaleb will inspire you to develop your curriculum to include First Nations content, perspectives and knowledge in innovating and helpful ways.
There were a wide range of engaging and relevant workshops for teachers of French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Mandarin and Punjabi. Attendees who registered early were able to choose from various workshops for all levels pertinent to their teaching language area such as: the French Federal Funds, using Twitter to develop your own Professional Learning Network, a list of publishers and vendors providing resources for many different languages, and of course ideas from BCATML's Language Representatives for French, Spanish, German, Mandarin, Japanese, Punjabi and Elementary and Middle Years.
