Pedagogy for a Healthier Future: Teaching for Human and Ecological Well-being

Join the Okanagan School of Education for an exploration of pedagogy and its impact on health, well-being and ecosystems. Teacher candidates will present their key insights in a conference-style poster session as they answer the question: “How will your pedagogy contribute to the health and well-being of humans and our home ecosystems?”

As part of this exploration, candidates will also share their applied insights into how Syilx ways of knowing and being will be incorporated into their pedagogical approaches. This includes fostering an understanding of the tmixʷ (water, earth, plant, and animal life forces) and cultivating a respectful connection to the land, its peoples, and the natural world in ways that promote health and sustainability.

You will have the opportunity to learn more about teaching strategies that can contribute to the health and well-being of students and the environment.

You will also be able to engage with the group, ask questions, and provide valuable feedback on their findings.
