York Region District School Board Museum & Archives Heritage Schoolhouse hosting SLATE 2018

We are excited to be hosting SLATE 2018 at the York Region District School Board Museum & Archives Heritage Schoolhouse.  Please mark Monday, April 16th on your calendars.
 
The agenda for the day is still in the draft stage but it will include presentations about using digital tools at the schoolhouse and working with schools to develop heritage fairs that explore the multiple voices of history.
 
There will also be roundtable discussions to share ideas. Suggestions from last year’s SLATE include fundraising, concerns about the rising cost of bussing and sharing unique aspects of each site’s programming.  If you have ideas for other topics, please let us know by the end of January.
 
Looking forward to seeing you in the new year!
Happy Holidays
