Book Learning Opportunities

ASCA Learning Opportunities are offered online, scheduled throughout the school year for school councils’ registration.

Annual Learning Opportunities Calendar

Please book Learning Opportunities early. Registration cut-off is 12 noon one week prior to the scheduled session.

Registrants will receive an email with handout materials and the link to join the session - and share with your school council participants attending.

Please DO NOT share the link to the session with other school councils. The registration fee is for ONE paid school council attending, and is required for ASCA to cover delivery costs and maintain operations.

As ASCA does not get funding from the government, our session fee for service is the only revenue we get to cover costs. The Alberta School Council Engagement (ASCE) Grant of $500 to each school council is eligible for the learning opportunities.
