The students in the Mitch- ell and Central Huron areas, who were part of the 1 to 1 iPad launch earlier this year, were surveyed at the beginning and once again this past week. Mr. Trocchi reported that in just four months the level of engage- ment and achievement by the stu- dents in the project has increased dramatically. Teacher Collaborative Inquiry - St. Marys DCVI: Program Coordinator Laurie Long, Secondary Teacher Scott Spillane and Elementary Teacher Candy McEwan from St. Marys DCVI presented a look at Teacher Collaborative Inquiry and its impact on student learning. This involved changes in practice that included eliminating actual marks. Using this model students became more focused on improvement rather than achievement.
