Welcome

Well, ACT III has come and gone. By all accounts it was a very successful day. Many thanks to those of you who sent emails of support for this initiative. Your words inspire all of us to carry on. Already we are beginning to plan for ACT IV in the spring of 2008. We hope to see you there!

Last Friday you were left with the challenge that when you return to your schools that you meet with your team and/or larger student leadership team to identify those global citizenship initiatives that you are already engaged in with the purpose of investigating the learning that results from and how you might expand on the initiative. Several of you indicated in your emails that you have already begun the process. This is fantastic news! As you begin this journey you are encouraged to share your understandings, successful practices and resources through this blog format so that we can all continue to benefit from ACT III throughout the upcoming year. Submitting a practice is as easy. Just email the document to stephen.rensink@yrdsb.edu.on.ca and it will be posted within a few days. Your comments on any of the postings are welcome as well. To comment click on the "comment" button at the bottom of the posting and follow the instructions from there.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

S. Rensink
