The Japan Foundation, Toronto is hosting a Nihongo Salon with the aim of providing a place where advanced Japanese learners (including Japanese language teachers) in Canada who would like to maintain Japanese language proficiency can speak Japanese regularly. The contents can be used for not only improving your Japanese proficiency but also in Japanese classes if you teach Japanese. We hope that these gatherings can be an opportunity for participants to regularly speak Japanese and to network with each other.

Online and blended MEd programs, MOOCs, and non-credit programs in the Faculty of Education at UBC

Picture
​New MEd programs include concept-based approaches to learning and teaching and support new directions in B.C.'s Curriculum for K-12 students. This year, we are offering part-time graduate programs in Early Childhood Education, Media and Technology Studies, Social Studies Education, and Educational Administration and Leadership.
 
UBC is re-launching two popular MOOCs this fall, including the Learn Mental Health Literacy and the Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education courses. These flexible, open learning opportunities are designed to support current teaching and learning needs in the areas of student wellness and Indigenous education based on the core and curricular competencies outlined by the Ministry of Education.
 
They are proud to share new, freely available learning tools with those communities most in need of support through the Edith Lando Virtual Learning Centre. Don't miss the Edith Lando Virtual Reading Club and Dr. Sara Florence Davidson's Virtual Book Event this month.

Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education - MOOC
This course will help you envision how Indigenous histories, perspectives, world views, and approaches to learning can be made part of the work we do in classrooms, organizations, communities, and our everyday experiences in ways that are thoughtful and respectful. In this course, reconciliation emphasizes changing institutional structures, practices, and policies, as well as personal and professional ideologies to create environments that are committed to strengthening our relationships with Indigenous peoples.​

Support for Grade 4-7 Teachers teaching Core French:
​Building on the success of last year's Core French support sessions, Tanya Campbell of BCATML and Jennie Slack of myPITA are holding their Core French support sessions again this year. All teachers teaching Grade 4-7 Core French are welcome to these monthly meetings! If you have resources you've made/used for the topics on the agenda, bring them along to share. If you're looking for resources, don't reinvent the wheel. Come see how others have done it! All levels of French knowledge are welcome; discussions will be in English. These sessions are open to all Core French teachers and are free!
 
- Bring along activities you've used
- Come with questions and worries
- Bounce ideas off other Core French teachers
- Curriculum objectives and how to meet them
- Themes are based around upcoming calendar events and are to promote conversation, not strict meeting guidelines
 
If you are interesting in joining us, please fill out the form HERE.
