“Turning to one another to foster hope through Métissage”

February 23, 2025 – A Photo Collage

I had a wonderful few days in Vancouver at WestCAST 2025 at SFU in Burnaby. I co-presented with BCTEN (BC Teacher Education Network), co-presented with three secondary education teacher candidates, and coached one elementary education teacher candidate. The UNBC School of Education – Teacher Education Program was well represented with these teacher candidates. They should be proud of the work they have accomplished and what they shared with other teacher candidates and teacher educators in western Canada. Well done!!

I am figuring that this week’s blog post will be a photo collage. I normally follow a pattern or framework with each of my blog posts, typically including one photo and a lot of text reflecting on a particular topic. It’s time to “get out of the box.” I’m kind of doing a little bit of both without using another app to create collage. I had a wonderful time coaching and mentoring teacher candidates to prepare for and present at conferences like WestCAST to further their personal inquiry and gain experience presenting to folks in the field.
