WHAT IS PDCE?

Professional Development & Community Engagement (PDCE) is a unit within UBC’s Faculty of Education. Our goal is to support the professional learning of all types of educators across British Columbia and Canada.

1

We aim to do this by working with the academic departments within the Faculty and with school districts across the province to build programming that is current, adaptive, and inclusive.

Our core audience is teachers in the K–12 school system, but we know that teaching and learning don't stop there; we believe anyone who educates can learn and benefit from what we offer.

Our work is grounded in the three PDCE pillars:

2

3

Inclusivity

Accessibility

Indigeneity

We support the development of educational programs and pedagogies that include all types of people, and recognize that inclusive communities enrich the lives of all citizens.

We are committed to continually improving the accessibility of our programs, whether it is through online mediums or our faceto-face offerings.

We recognize and acknowledge that we learn and work on the unceded territory of the xwmə kwə əm (Musqueam) people.

Our students, staff and faculty benefit from the rich history and learning shared by local Indigenous Knowledge Keepers.

Graduate Programs Our graduate programs are offered through a cohort model.

This means that although you will be studying part-time, and for some programs online, you will be progressing through your program with a core group of people and following a pre-determined schedule.

Instead of navigating graduate school alone, you will be doing it alongside your peers who are invested in the same issues and subject areas as you are. We’ve seen this builds community and support systems, and allows for greater collaboration across the programs.

You won’t need to worry about building your own schedule, ensuring you have pre-requisite courses, or if you can complete all the needed requirements in the specified amount of time – all of that work is done for you.
