CODE is excited to announce two summer writing projects seeking a project manager and writers. Deadline to apply for either project is June 21 at 11:59 pm. Visionary Voices focuses on creating no-prep inquiry-based lesson plans in conjunction with Canada's Theatre Museum Legends Library. ArtFusion First Five focuses on curating a series of 5 lessons to launch the school year. Both projects are looking for writers for every panel. Read more to find the link to apply.
ETFO is hosting a live press conference on March 18 about alarming funding gaps in special education. If you are interested in the intersections between drama/dance and special education this may be of interest to you regardless of the panel you may teach in or the union you may belong to.
CODE is tremendously saddened by the loss of an important member of our community, Juliana Saxton. Juliana was one of the original members of the advisory board that became CODE and served as the President of CODE. She taught theatre and drama in education at the University of Victoria and wrote educational texts such as Asking Better Questions, Applied Drama, and Into the Story with her writing partners, Norah Morgan and Carole Miller.
She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Her obituary can be found here. More information about her role in CODE's history can be found here.
