We all know that time is such an important resource for teachers, but too often we just don't have enough of it.
We also know that, sometimes, the best PD is just getting to talk to other social studies teachers.
Given this, MSSTA, in partnership with Spur Change and the Manitoba Council for International Cooperation, is happy to offer you an opportunity to take some time - time to get out of the classroom to meet with your colleagues from other schools across the Winnipeg region and talk about how we are engaging our students and our schools in global citizenship, the people and the planet.
