March Sessional/TA ‘Lunch and Learn’‏

Save the date. The next TA/Sessional/Seconded teacher/Instructor Lunch and Learn session is next Wednesday, March 12, from 12:00-1:00 PM in SCARFE (Room to be determined). The topic for this session is “Diverse teaching for diverse learners”.

Come join Marny Point, Keith McPherson and Shawna Faber as we explore the University’s policy on diversity and discuss and share methods for teaching to, and learning with, Faculty of Education students who come from very different backgrounds and who draw upon very different learning styles. Marny is eager to speak with attendees about her own experience as an indigenous learner, and to share what she has learned about teaching to, and learning with, indigenous learners in the NITEP program.

The session will largely follow an informal discussion format.
Did I mention that the session will include a free lunch?  

To help us order food, please RSVP Shawna Faber at: shawna.faber@ubc.ca
