Professional Learning Action Group

Overview

This action group was exploring ways to collaborate, create and offer professional learning experiences for teaching faculty and instructors in BC’s PSE institutions. Using a professional learning framework, this group aimed to create multiple pathways faculty and instructors can undertake (at low cost, online and/or within the province) to engage in enhancements to their practice for successful student learning. This action group came together with other action groups to focus on the Festival of Learning for the 2016 year.
