Program Coordinator, PDCE & Edith Lando Virtual Learning Centre
A five-part virtual book club, concentrating on the five communities of focus for the Edith Lando Virtual Learning Centre as themes:
- Early Childhood Education
- Rural/Remote Education
- Indigenous Education
- Immigrant/Refugee Education
- Special Needs Education
Experts in each of the areas will select the reading materials and host the post-read discussion. A wide range of reading materials may be selected including novels, works of non-fiction, or portions of textbooks and poetry. The goal of the discussions is to expand the participants’ understanding of these topics and to plan ways to discuss them with others, not just in the classroom but also in everyday life. Educators and educators-in-training are invited to participate, as well as any UBC Faculty of Education employees.
All of the discussion sessions will be recorded and available online, along with resources and ideas for activities and projects that can be used in the classroom.
