Welcome to the Beginning Teacher Conference SeriesWelcome to a year of learning, growth, and connection. As beginning teachers in Edmonton Catholic Schools, you are called to a vocation that shapes hearts, minds, and futures. Rooted in joy and guided by faith, this conference series is designed to support you as you develop your professional practice, strengthen your confidence, and deepen your impact on student learning. Throughout the year, we will journey together through three learning experiences:

January 30th, 2027: Called to Respond – Seeing and Serving Every Learner Developing responsive practices through assessment, inclusion, and student-centered learning.
April 24th, 2027: Called to Grow – Strengthening Your Voice, Vocation, and Impact Reflecting on your growth, celebrating your accomplishments, and setting goals for the future. Together, we are rooted in faith, called to serve, and committed to excellence in Catholic education. We are grateful that you are part of this community and look forward to learning alongside you throughout the year.
