Learn at Work Week

As part of our continued commitment to education and excellence, the week of September 27th to September 30th, will be a "Learn at Work Week."

During the week, we host a number of workshops and one keynote speaker on a variety of topics. The Municipal Office will be closed from 8:30am to 10:30am on Wednesday, September 29th so everyone can attend an interesting, dynamic, and humorous presentation by Terry Small, teacher and learning skills specialist on "Brain Boosting Secrets."

Terry believes, "Anyone can learn how to learn easier, better, faster, and that learning to learn is the most important skill a person can acquire." He guarantees better grades in less time, increased confidence and more fun in learning!

Terry's wealth of teaching experience and extensive involvement in the development of study strategies and techniques make him an outstanding resource of the educational community. He resides in Vancouver, Canada, where he is a frequent lecturer at Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia.

Terry Small's Philosophy is simple: "Success is a skill anyone can learn."

I tend to agree with Terry and I hope staff will enjoy the presentation. But we also have a number of other workshops and seminars that will assist District staff to continue developing their professional skills.
