Save the date for upcoming PD: Anti-Racism Response Training (A.R.T.)
We are excited to offer this highly interactive Anti-Racism Response Training to ACE-WIL members. It involves experiential activities to develop and strengthen active witnessing skills. This training is designed to encourage participants to shift from being frozen or silent bystanders to becoming active witnesses. In doing so, we can disrupt racism and build a safer and more inclusive community for our students.

E-portfolio Research Study at UVic- Looking for Connections!
|
The Community-Engaged Learning Office at the University of Victoria is conducting a research study to review and support the use of ePortfolios for student work-integrated learning experiences. As part of this work, they are interested in connecting with other institutions who are working on ePortfolios for work-integrated learning or student learning in general.
|
If you feel your institution has successes or challenges that would be valuable for them to learn from, please connect with Project Coordinator, Suzanne Jolly, sjolly@uvic.ca.
|
|
They will also be sharing what they learn from this work, so please also let them know if you’re interested to learn from their process and results.
