Over the years, we’ve evolved as teachers and students, learned from each other, and often tried new things in our teaching practices. What started as a one-day workshop in 2002 is now a two-day event that regularly attracts over 100 participants. This year marks the 19th anniversary of the UNBC Teaching and Learning Conference.
The conference theme Teaching for Tomorrow: Strategic Goals in Practice will guide discussions on aligning foundational goals with teaching and learning methodologies.
The conference is thrilled to announce the conference keynote speaker will be Dr. Dwayne Donald from the University of Alberta.
Dr. Dwayne Donald is a descendent of the amiskwaciwiyiniwak (Beaver Hills Cree) and works as a professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta. He is also a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Reimagining Teacher Education with Indigenous Wisdom Traditions. His work focuses on ways in which Indigenous wisdom traditions can expand and enhance understandings of curriculum and pedagogy.
Conference sessions will take place over two days at UNBC:
- Wednesday, August 28
- Thursday, August 29
