“Our mission is to provide UBC Teacher Candidates with resources that allow them to maintain and improve their overall wellness.”

“Our vision is to create a continuous platform for future teacher candidates to provide wellness resources for elementary and secondary cohorts for years to come.”

“Our goal is to help UBC Teacher Candidates share and navigate sources of health information.”

Welcome to the UBC Teacher Candidate Wellness Blog! This blog has been created to support Teacher Candidates by helping them maintain and improve their overall wellness – especially  under the current global circumstances. Our goal is to share resources to current Teacher Candidates while focusing on the physical, mental and social domains of wellness. Hopefully, teacher candidates can share these resources with fellow colleagues, friends, family and students. We will be providing bi-weekly updates to the blogs. In addition, we will be incorporating bi-weekly TC Check-Ins on Zoom. These Check-ins are a professional space created for fellow teacher candidates who are interested in discussing various wellness topics, as well as ways to incorporate these strategies into the classroom. By creating this space, we feel that this will be an excellent opportunity for teacher candidates to express their needs and concerns.Ultimately, supporting each other in developing our Best Practices as future educators. We are excited to collaborate and share ideas with all of you! 

Moving forward, the RSVP link for Zoom Check-Ins will be provided under “Weekly Updates” and on through the weekly Newsletter/E-Blast sent out by Dr. McTavish.
