| Project Summary | The new BC curriculum emphasizes big ideas, inquiry, interdisciplinarity, and Indigenous ways of knowing. This unto itself poses an immense challenge to a Faculty of 700+ B.Ed., 800+ Diploma, 1100+ graduate students and thousands of alumni. In one short year, we educate teachers who will shape BC’s future. We all have the best intentions, but with our large fragmented Faculty, it is extremely challenging to integrate our courses, curricula, and pedagogies beyond a limited subset of subjects (noted within the 2018 external review). This two-year proposal addresses this challenge by creating a Faculty-wide repository consisting of interdisciplinary resources designed by students, instructors, and staff that respond to the new BC curriculum. As a common denominator, we chose science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education that crosses disciplinary boundaries and weaves the arts and the sciences in order to educate teachers who are ready to embrace the 21st century challenges. |
