In November 2018 , the Saskatchean Teachers ' Federation ( STF ) President Patrick Maze , Debbie Ward and Withman Jaigobin visited Instructor Julie Machnaik ' s ECS 311 class to deliver a Re‐Imagine Education workshop to pre-intern students . ESS President Laura Bieber arranged to have the workshop presented after she learned that the STF wanted to hear student perspectives . STF
CODING TO LEARN
Administrator Withman Jaigobin said that it isn ’ t typical for the STF to deliver the workshops . The STF ' s hope is that members of the education sector would deliver the workshops .
The workshop faciliates conversations about what the future of education should look like .
Following the workshop , students were invited to participate in a focus group
to talk about their visions for the future of education , and their experience of participating in the workshop .
Students had a lot to say and really appreciated the chance for their views of education to be heard .
