UFV’s Teacher Education department is currently hosting its first Summer Institute in Teacher Education (SITE). Practising teachers from both public and independent schools in the Fraser Valley have returned to UFV during the month of July to engage in powerful professional development. SITE courses were designed with a focus on the utilization of innovative teaching practices for 21st century students within the framework of BC’s New Curriculum initiative. Specialist educators from neighbouring school districts are facilitating SITE courses in topics that matter most to teachers including Historical and 3C Thinking Concepts, Motivating Students in Math, and Balanced Literacy.
