Tri-Community Conversation on Education Part B
Part A of our conversation was a one hour conversation on the Provincial level following the Ministry of Education Local Conversation Kit.
Part B is a local Inspiring Education Conversation for the Tri-Communities of the City of Spruce Grove, County of Parkland, and Town of Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada. It has been developed by applying the ministry of education guidelines (Items quoted are from the conversation kit) to facilitate a local conversation. It is hoped that the dialogue started on May 21st 2009 will continue until 2029 and beyond so that we will have the best education possible for current and future generations. In addition, we want to stimulate other ongoing dialogues in the communities of Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, and Parkland County. Part B is an online dialogue with the possibilities of face to face dialogue in the future.
