INSTITUTE FOR Learning and Teaching Enhance Learning Together
LUNCH
Teacher as Leader in the Classroom
LEARN
Wednesday, Jan. 28 12 - 1 p.m. Kelowna Campus Room E102
When it comes to the world of education, we all understand what it means to be a teacher, tutor, instructor, facilitator, or presenter in face-to-face and online learning environments. But what about the idea of a leader...what does it mean to be a leader in an educational setting that intentionally supports students in their learning journey? In this Lunch and Learn session we will take a look at how we can be the kind of leaders who will guide our students from being dependent learners to more autonomous learners.
