About
Inquiry Seminar II is part of the University of British Columbia Teacher Education Program. It is designed to provide teacher candidates with an opportunity to:
1) engage in teacher inquiry around a theme (e.g., the cohort theme such as “sustainability” or “community”), a disciplinary topic (e.g., ‘historical consciousness’ or chemical bonding), a particular curriculum emphasis (e.g., textbooks as cultural and historical objects), or an educational issue (e.g., the politics of French immersion programs) of the teacher candidate’s choosing.
2) demonstrate understandings acquired during course work and develop deeper understandings of a particular area of educational study.
This section of EDUC 451 is made up of a cohort of students preparing to teach in secondary schools who have at least one are of specialization focused on the teaching of literature, literacy, and languages.
A tentative course syllabus is available here (PDF).
