Welcome to

the Bright Ideas Gallery (B.I.G.)

SD43's Gallery of Classroom Innovations

 Bright Ideas Gallery

What's Going On?

Does this ever happen to you?   You run into a teacher you haven't seen in a while (like during coffee at a Pro D day) and she tells you about some interesting thing that is going on at her school, and you think to yourself, "Why don't I know about this?"  (And once in a while, you ask, "Why doesn't everyone know about this?")  I don't know about you, but I'm always hearing about something great that is happening in classrooms in Coquitlam, and no one seems to know about them!

The purpose of this site is to spread those ideas that we might not have heard about.  These are ideas that are percolating in classrooms all over our district.  They might not even be a finished idea, but an idea that might have great potential.  These ideas may not even be new ideas, but old ideas with a new twist.

These ideas are for teachers, from teachers

Sure, But What Is It Going to Look Like? 

I will share teachers' ideas on this site.  So I call on the inventors, the tinkerers, the outliers, and the just plain old teachers in this district to share your ideas with me.

I see the teachers in this district as great painters.  Some teachers paint with great, broad strokes or portray big ideas on large canvases, while some teachers paint in small or detailed strokes on more modest canvases.  My job is to frame these ideas and hang them on our wall for all of us to see.

Do you have an idea you would like to share with other teachers?

Do you need a new idea or a new way to think about your teaching?

Think B.I.G.!
