Keynote Speaker
CHRIS HADFIELD
Col. Chris Hadfield has spent a lifetime living up to that responsibility. On July 20, 1969, when
he quietly began his mission towards becoming an astronaut, the gap between being a young
boy on an Ontario corn farm and the first Canadian to walk in space was unbridgeable.
Canada had no astronaut program, nor would it for the foreseeable future. Chris stuck to it.
He spent his time at home learning mechanics on the tractors and old cars, flying with his
father and brothers every chance he could. Enrolling in air cadets, he worked his way up
through the RCAF, becoming an experimental test pilot and flying over 70 types of aircraft.
He made certain that when the opportunity arose, he would be prepared for it. In 1995,
Chris Hadfield rode his first rocket.

CHRIS HADFIELD
Chris Austin Hadfield, né le 29 août 1959 à Sarnia en Ontario, est un astronaute canadien.
Il est le premier Canadien à avoir marché dans l‘espace et à avoir commandé la station spatiale
internationale. Ancien colonel et pilote de chasse de l‘Aviation royale canadienne, il a participé
aux vols de deux navettes spatiales de la NASA : STS-74 (Atlantis) en 1995 et STS-100
(Endeavour) en 2001. Le 19 décembre 2012, il s‘envole pour une mission prolongée dans
l‘espace à bord du module russe Soyouz TMA-07M; trois mois après son départ, il devient
commandant de la station spatiale internationale au sein de l‘Expédition 35, et ce jusqu‘à
son retour sur Terre, le 13 mai 2013. Durant la mission, il est très actif sur les réseaux sociaux,
ce qui lui vaut une importante popularité. Il annonce sa retraite de l‘Agence spatiale
canadienne le 10 juin 2013.

Keynote Speaker
MANUEL PIZARRO
Manuel Pizarro is familiar with challenges and the qualities needed to overcome them. As
the first Canadian to reach the summit of Everest alone, without a Sherpa, on May 16, 2007,
his will and determination to achieve a larger-than-life goal inspires those who were lucky
enough to meet him.
His testimony also explains how it is possible to overcome the obstacles that we believe to
be insurmountable. Manuel Pizarro was abandoned by his Sherpa at 8,300 meters above
sea level.
Alone, without food, equipment or oxygen for some time, he became one of the few
mountaineers to survive more than 24 hours under extreme conditions on Mount Everest.
His extraordinary story inspires thousands of people around the world.

MANUEL PIZARRO
Manuel Pizarro connait bien les défis et les qualités qu‘il faut pour les surmonter. Premier
Canadien à atteindre, le 16 mai 2007, le sommet de l‘Everest seul, sans Sherpa, sa volonté
et sa détermination à atteindre un objectif plus grand que nature sont sources d‘inspiration
pour tout ceux qui ont la chance de le rencontrer.
Son témoignage relate également comment il possible de vaincre les obstacles que nous croyons
insurmontables. Manuel Pizarro fut abandonné par son Sherpa à plus 8 300 mètres d‘altitude.
Seul, sans nourriture, sans équipement ni oxygène pendant un certain temp, il devient l‘un
des rares alpinistes à avoir survécu plus de 24 heures dans des conditions extrêmes sur le
Mont Everest.
Son histoire extraordinaire inspire des milliers de personnes à travers le monde.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE ARTS 2018
Education through the arts is an important gateway into developing 21st century skills in all
learners. Integrated into QPAT 2018, the Spotlight on the Arts is a series of dynamic
workshops, an interactive art-making space for educators and a collaborative art experience
for students. Each workshop provides arts specialists and generalists alike with creative
classroom practices and approaches applicable to developing arts competencies, as well as
making clear and tangible connections to other parts of the curriculum.
ALL DAY EVENTS
Art making for students and teachers
Join artist and consultant Frank Caracciolo for a day of collective art-making. Participants will
collaborate on a group piece, and learn about the richness of co-creation and gaining
inspiration from each other.
Open Creative Space
Come explore, make, tinker and meet like-minded people at the Open Creative Space
co-hosted by LEARN. A Makerspace that embraces the A in STEAM!
9 h 00 – 10 h 15 | EDUCART
Thibault Zimmer, Musée des Beaux Arts de Montréal
EDUCART can motivate teachers to create and publish their own multi/interdisciplinary LES.
The model is based on 3 axes: Subject, theme, and a work of art, and comes with lesson
plans and projects in different subject areas. Each work is created with the QEP as a guideline
and special consideration is aimed toward the application of knowledge competencies,
cross-curricular competencies and broad area of learning – educart.ca/en/
10 h 30 – 11 h 45 | The 30 Days of Art Challenge
MAD2 Members – ATELIER BILINGUE
Participating in the Arts is a means to experience the world, to think deeply and to be fully
human. Research shows that it also improves school performance (Hattie 2009)! The 30 Days
of Art challenge is an easy and fun programme for elementary schools, designed to get kids
QPAT Convention • Congrès APEQ 9engaged in the arts every day. During the challenge, students do an art activity per day for
30 days and record their participation on the log sheet provided. Participants will come away
with a full colour classroom poster and a student log sheet master. More materials are also
available online at www.learnquebec.ca/30daysart
12 h 15 – 13 h 30 | I ntegrating Character Masks
(Commedia Dell‘Arte) in Drama Class
Nicolas Doyon
Why do student actors generally find it inhibiting to create, interpret and sustain believable
characters? Is it because we put all the emphasis on making sure they recite their lines
“properly”? Character masks - found in the world of Commedia Dell‘Arte – allow students
to explore the physical dimensions of character building before they are introduced to the
actual text. In addition, they offer physical models on how to interpret each specific character
effectively while considering motive and social status.
13 h 45 – 15 h 00 | Appreciation Across the Arts
MAD2 Members
Appreciating works of art, across all arts, is a way to access greater awareness about the
world, deeper connection with emotions and an understanding of the self. This workshop
aims to demystify the Appreciation competency at both elementary and high school levels.
Participants will explore various appreciation resources and approaches and will discuss ways
of engaging students in an ongoing and deepening appreciation process.
Friday, November 9th, 2018 Room: Inspiration (Level 6)
Creative Makerspace by LEARN 9 h 00 – 15 h 00
Curious about Makerspaces, ArtHives, Genius Hours and Passion Projects? There‘s no better way
to learn about the Maker movement than by living the experience yourself! This on-going hands-
on session gives participants the chance to drop in and engage in the process of making and
tinkering, with access to resources, tools, ideas and community. Participants can come in at any
time and stay for as long as they need to work on a hands-on project with friendly support from
the LEARN team. Learn about available and accessible materials and books, and meet like-minded
people interested in the hands-on aspects of STEAM education in this self-driven, yet highly
engaging, session. We‘ll also be offering more “guided» sessions on specific components in a
makerspace throughout the day on Friday.
Guided Sessions in Makerspace:

The documentary thriller Expo 67 Mission
Impossible invites us to relive the incredible
adventure of the men behind Man and His
World. Over time, tongues have loosened and
the full story can now emerge, just like Notre-
Dame Island out of the waters of the
St. Lawrence. Thanks to unprecedented access
to over 80,000 archival documents, along
with uncensored accounts by the movers and
shakers behind this success story, filmmakers
Guylaine Maroist, Michel Barbeau and Éric
Ruel invite us to relive the white-knuckle
countdown to the grand opening on April 28,
1967. We finally recognize the exceptional
contribution of the makers of Expo 67, namely
Chief of Advertising Yves Jasmin, and
businessman Philippe de Gaspé Beaubien.

Strategies Supporting Academic Success
in Students With Mental Health Issues
Speaker: Eva Dechef-Tweddle (Teacher)
Target Audience: All
Category: Wellness
The last decade has brought significant classroom changes. Varied learning styles, the
incidence of mental health vulnerabilities, and their impact on learning, have added intricacy
to teaching. As an educator working with students who exhibit enmeshed educational/
emotional portraits, general instructive tactics often fall short of obtaining “success for all”
in reading proficiency and academic success. Educators will be offered strategies to “peel
away” student “layers” and endorse academic success. A rise in reading disabilities and
comorbid mental health issues in students, invites a need for diverse strategies to engage
and motivate students who demonstrate anxiety, depression, helplessness, or negative
behavioural displays, when faced with learning difficulties. Merging research findings, field
work, and accepting societal changes, can allow us to make positive reforms to education.
A 04 Room: SYMPHONIE 3B (Level 5)
Unsettling History
Speaker: Samantha Morley (Teacher, Graduate Student)
Target Audience: Elementary, Secondary, Adult Ed.
Category: Social Science
Reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples is one of the biggest
challenges facing Canada. This workshop will delve into the darker side of Canada‘s history
towards Indigenous nations, beyond residential schools as well as discussing contemporary
issues facing Indigenous communities. Resources for Indigenous knowledge will be shared.
Helpful for educators to teach history in a more respectful way towards the First Nations and
for those wanting to be an ally.
A 05 Room: SYMPHONIE 4AB (Level 5)
Pressure to be Perfect
Speaker: Corrie Sirota
Target Audience: All
Category: Behaviour Management
Today‘s girls are growing up in a world filled with the pressures to perform to perfection. This
workshop is designed to help school personnel understand the challenges youth face as they
aspire to be the ideal student, best friend, and/or athlete. This workshop will also focus on
identifying what normal stress reactions look like, how to identify the signs of anxiety, and
why campers tend to have “all or nothing” thinking. Strategies on how to help youth find
balance in order to reduce these pressures will also be addressed in this presentation.

Promoting Social Competence in Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Speaker: Aniko Burjan (Psychoeducator)
Target Audience: Kindergarten, Elementary, Secondary
Category: Special Needs/Inclusive Education
Students with high-functioning ASD often do remarkably well academically and can be
expected to pursue successful careers. However, the biggest challenges they face center
around the skills that can “make or break” a person‘s success in life. This presentation will
discuss the importance of improving social competence through the development of critical
skills such as self-regulation, mental flexibility, perspective taking, and context sensitivity.
Concrete strategies, techniques, and ideas will be provided to promote social competence.

Animal Assisted Therapy in the Classroom:
Helping Kids Cope With the Stress in the Life
Speaker: Chantale Robinson (Teacher, Biologist, AHT)
Target Audience: All
Categories: Behaviour Management, Special Needs/Inclusive Education
As an educator and animal specialist with 20 years‘ experience I have witnessed the powerful
and beneficial influence that animals can have on a person‘s wellbeing. Animals are becoming
more popular in the classroom. They are helping kids cope with the stressors of life and
improving their academics. In this conference I will explain what animal assisted therapy is and
how it can benefit our students from autism to chronic anxiety. I will share my own experiences
in a study done in a high school and relate interesting research that supports AAT; we will look
at the steps to integrating a therapy animal for your classroom or school. It‘s easier than we
think and the benefits are tremendous. I am a teacher, Biologist and Animal Health Technician.
I have completed my Capstone at McGill on AAT in the classroom as part of my Masters.

Is Alternative Medicine an Alternative to Medicine?
Speaker: Joe Schwarcz (Professor)
Target Audience: All
Category: Science
Newspapers, magazines and the Internet tout the benefits of homeopathy, reiki, various detox
regimens and herbal cures as alternatives to what is referred to as “conventional medicine.” There
are claims that “Big Pharma” doesn‘t really want to find cures because that would cut into the
profits from drugs that treat but do not cure disease. Bloggers of all sorts claim that radiation,
chemotherapy and surgery are not the answer for the treatment of cancer and that they have
uncovered secret cures. It is important to examine these issues from a scientific perspective.

Intermediate and advanced English learners benefit from using concordancers—programs
that help them explore language patterns from authentic spoken and written samples. Notably,
it promotes the noticing of grammar forms, which allows for deep learning through more
meaningful engagement with the language. This workshop will show how we can use a
monolingual English (COCA) and a bilingual French/Spanish-English concordancer (Tradooit)
to help students learn the usage patterns of typically challenging verb-preposition combinations.
