What is a Learning Coach??
Each school in the Foothills School Division has a teacher that is designated as a Learning Coach. Learning Coaches have part of their assigned time working with other teachers with a goal of improving teaching practices by learning in the areas of  student engagement, technology, designing lessons, assessment etc.
The Learning Coach position changes every three years. Mr Berrigan is in his third year as our Learning Coach.

Art Exhibit: HORSE POWER
The enduring bond between horses and people is explored through archival photographs from the Glenbow Museum and artworks from the collection of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. For three centuries the evolution of prairie culture in North America relied greatly on horse power. This travelling exhibition promotes discussion about the role of horses in law enforcement, ranching, transportation and sport.
Horse Power reflects the strength, speed, agility and grace of the horse in motion. It also reveals memorable stories about the unique relationships between rider and horse. Learn about Sonora Webster Carver and her extraordinary high diving act with Red Lips in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Barra Lad and young Lewis Welsh of the renowned Welsh family would achieve a world jumping record in 1925 but with very unfortunate consequences. Bronc rider Tom Three Persons of the Kainai First Nation would achieve immortality on a summer day in 1912 when he was the first to ride the notorious Cyclone to a standstill during the Calgary Stampede.
These stories and more elaborate on the close connections we have with horses.
This exhibition will be displayed at the Turner Valley School from November 10th to December 7th. We welcome your visit to this educational and entertaining exhibition.
