Teacher PD days give shot of inspiration

On Oct. 23, thousands of teachers from all over Nova Scotia gathered in dozens of locations to attend this year’s annual NSTU October conference. For those of you who may not know, this annual gathering is a professional development day organized by teachers, for teachers. It is one of the few such days for which the mandate of what is to be covered is not set by either the school boards or the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, and teachers have a wide variety of choice in what sessions they can attend.
