1) Engagement and Integration in the Arts for the Occasional Teacher - This workshop is packed with fun, practical, easy-to-use activities and strategies for teaching drama, dance, visual arts and music. Occasional Teachers will become more confident in teaching the arts and leave with a variety of resources that are enjoyable for students, can be used immediately and are easily integrated into their teaching practice.

2) Special Education and the Occasional Teacher - Navigating the challenges of special education, student mental health, and occasional teaching. Participants will learn practical, classroom-based strategies to effectively plan and manage special education student programming and mental health needs as an Occasional Teacher.
