Workshop Facilitator Materials

Under a grant provided by Alberta Education to the Alberta Regional Professional Development Consortia (ARPDC) and under the leadership of Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium (ERLC), a face-to-face workshop “Support for Administrators of French Immersion Programs” has been developed to support administrators of French Immersion programs.

The workshop material is based on Alberta Education’s document “Handbook for French Immersion Administrators 2010”. Ongoing dialogue and review was provided by Alberta Education, the Alberta Teachers Association, le Conseil Français, and the ARPDC. The specific intent of this resource package is to provide schools, district leaders and others with materials, processes and strategies that will facilitate its offering to administrators of French Immersion programs in Alberta. It is designed for use by those who facilitate adult learning and who may wish to share that learning with French Immersion administrators, in a face-to-face session. The materials are not intended for self-study but are available for access if self study is preferred. Resources from other sources have been included to supplement the content of the handbook.

The goals of the workshop are such that administrators will:

  1. gain a clearer understanding of the workings of French Immersion programs
  2. share ideas, strategies, and experiences with other administrators of French Immersion programs thereby building and strengthening their network system
