Treaty Catalyst Teacher Training
The OTC is providing training to representatives from all schools/divisions in the province. These representatives are called Treaty Catalyst Teachers and their primary role is to provide leadership and expertise at the school/division level in the support of their colleagues as they teach treaties. The initial training day will happen in Regina on February 2 and in Saskatoon on February 9. For more information please contact Susan Beaudin at 1.306.529.5090 or email sbeaudin@sasktel.net
Upcoming Day 1 and Day 2 Workshops
Day 1 and Day 2 workshops will be held in Saskatoon and Regina on the following dates. Catalyst teachers are encouraged to attend if they have not taken part in these workshops previously. For more information please contact Susan Beaudin at 1.306.529.5090 or email sbeaudin@sasktel.net

Wikispace
The OTC Treaty Teacher Wikispace can be found at http://otctreatyteacherwikispace.wikispaces.com/
New to the Wikispace are K-6 PowerPoint activities which are designed to be teacher led trivia activities to use in the classroom. There is also a sample action plan from Regina Catholic Schools. A novel study designed for grades 4-6 based on the novel As Long as the Rivers Flow can also be found on the Wikispace. Watch for K-6 SMART Board activities coming soon!
Need Your Own Treaty Kit?
 The Office of the Treaty Commissioner is pleased to present a chance for you to win a treaty kit. We want you to design an original classroom activity to share with K-12 teachers based on The Teaching Treaties in the Classroom resources. Include your name, the name of your activity, grade level, theme, topic, materials needed and procedure for your classroom activity. Photos would be great to see too! All activities will be posted on our OTC Treaty Teacher Wikispace to share with other treaty teachers. For ideas on where to start go to the OTC Treaty Teacher Wikispace Make n' Take activities. The deadline for submissions is January 29, 2010. Submissions or questions may be emailed here.
