The Honourable James Bartleman will be speaking on Canada's Forgotten Native Children.

The housing crisis in the northern Ontario Cree community of Attawapaskat has disturbed many Canadians unwilling to face the fact that many native people on isolated reserves live in Third World conditions. They would be even more shocked to learn that an epidemic of suicide among children and youth in Northern Ontario has been ongoing for over a quarter of a century, out of sight and mind of mainstream society. In this talk, James Bartleman will look at the causes of this tragedy, in particular the intergenerational impact of the residential school experience on young people of today, and also suggest ways to deal with it.

Despite all the time and effort we put into writing comments on our students’ assignments, we often hear back from them that we don’t supply them with sufficient or helpful feedback.

In this session, we explore an innovative approach to feedback – a paperless approach that is particularly helpful to visual learners.
Come to this session and learn how employing a colour coded approach in grading can help focus students on their strengths and weaknesses and facilitate time management for teachers facing growing numbers of students in their classes.

Post holiday doldrums setting in? Latin rhythms can lift the burden of winter - especially when the tunes are performed by Hilario Duran, Luis Mario Ochoa, Steve Mancuso and their students.

Duran (pianist, composer, arranger, producer), Ochoa (guitarist, singer, composer, arranger) and Mancuso (percussion) are all celebrated jazz musicians who teach in the music program, School of Creative & Performing Arts at Humber.
