The Professional Development and Community Engagement (PDCE) office in the UBC Faculty of Education is excited to announce that registration for the 2018 Summer Institutes is now open!
There are over a dozen unique, short-term, summer programs running this year that address a variety of themes, ideas, and skills for teachers and educators, ranging from Agriculture in the Classroom, to First Peoples Principles of Learning, to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity education and leadership. Programs are running primarily at UBC Vancouver, with a few also being held in Abbotsford and Nelson, BC. Start dates range from May to August, and these courses typically run daily for the duration of 1-2 weeks.
Visit the summer institutes webpage for more information: pdce.educ.ubc.ca/summer-institutes and feel free to share the PDF poster with anyone you know who may be interested!
