I'm an elementary teacher in Vancouver, also doing work with EBB to create campus connections. I'm hoping to get something started up at UBC and noticed that you did your M.Ed. in the LLED department. I just graduated from the same program, but with a focus in TESL. Would love to hear about your experiences and how you integrated an overseas teaching practicum with your program. I didn't hear a lot about educational international development opportunities when I went through UBC so I'm working to build that up now while connecting with people in Vancouver who are interested in the same things.

Thanks!
Katharine

I was in your UBC French conversation class a while back! I'm currently doing an M.Ed. in gifted education at UBC and teaching grade 5 part-time in New West. I'm also interested in sustainability education, which fits nicely with the grade 5 IRP on living and non-living resources. Cheers, Carmen
