Tomorrow I embark on a journey to the remote northwestern Vancouver Island community of Kyuquot. This Community Field Experience is a part of my practicum experience in the UBC teacher education program. It is also an important exercise in my journey as a teacher and reflective practitioner. Through this experience, I trust I will learn much about rural education in BC, First Nations perspectives on learning, and alternative education. As a learning professional, this experience will only help me to become a better communicator and listener to others.
