The Petro-Canada Paralympic Schools Program is a free online teachers’ resource to help teachers engage students in the Paralympic spirit. It provides teachers with the resources to educate students on parasport and establish positive perceptions of people with a physical disability. Developed for elementary school students, paralympiceducation.ca provides multi-media lessons, student activities and lesson plans.
This year, the Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) will be launching a new, innovative education program that will include curriculum-specific resources, cross curricular activities, formal assessment objectives and interactive schemes of work. These resources will be designed in collaboration with Provincial Ministries of Education, National Sports Organisations and other key stakeholders in the education community. This new educational resource will not only assist schools in assuring inclusivity, but will provide further opportunities for students of all abilities to access academic and sporting opportunities.
We are also pleased to announce our first-ever hosting of a professional development conference designed specifically for education professionals!
The conference will run March 8-12 2012 in Regina, SK. If you are an education professional and would like more information about the conference, please contact the CPC.
