The 2011 Manitoba Teachers' Society Conference on Appropriate Education
Encompassing Kids
Welcome!
The 2011 MTS Encompassing Kids Conference was conceived to provide a rich and diverse professional development experience in the area of Inclusive/Appropriate Education. More than that, however, it was a starting point for fruitful professional dialogue and relationships for years to come.
To that end, we created this Ning to make it that much easier for you to make connections and to share in the ideas, resources, and approaches of the presenters and other colleagues. Click around, explore, learn, share, and have fun!
