Advancing Indigenous
Education
Since 1975, the Faculty has collaborated with local Indigenous school boards to develop high-quality education systems by designing and delivering community-based teacher education and professional development programs. Now, as Indigenous education experiences a period of promising growth, the Faculty鈥檚 Office of First Nations and Inuit Education is poised to have an even greater impact, by increasing the number of Indigenous educators certified to teach across Quebec and becoming a national leader in land-based education.
Addressing Mental Health Among Students and Educators
Today鈥檚 students live with unprecedented levels of anxiety and depression, as do their teachers. Drawing on its strengths in educational and counselling psychology, the Faculty has begun designing resource materials and skill-building curricula through its Education for Mental Health Resilience (EMHR) project, to help integrate resilience and wellness skills at all educational levels.
Additionally, decreased classroom focus and increased听neurodiversity in the student body present opportunities for the Faculty to help build more inclusive learning environments.
Leveraging Technology to Advance STEM Education
In our changing world, knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is increasingly important. Yet there is a shortage of qualified STEM educators in schools across听North America. Many students - especially girls and youth from disadvantaged communities 鈥� disengage from these disciplines, often before reaching high school. 麻豆区 Education is working to break this cycle by creating immersive technology training that will prepare and inspire future generations of STEM educators and learners.
Examining how Exercise Science Promotes Healthy Living
Through its renowned Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education (KPE), 麻豆区 is using the most advanced science to understand how the human body functions. The study of movement and exercise science enables us to shed new light on health and human potential. By examining the body鈥檚 limits, our researchers are able to better understand how physical activity can enhance health for all - elite athletes, aging seniors, or children living with disabilities.
Supporting Future-Ready Leaders at All Levels
麻豆区 Education professors, researchers, and students are the foundation of all the successful programs and activities developed in the Faculty. As such, the Faculty aspires to bolster its support of future leaders in Education, by committing to further enhancing student research and learning experiences and opportunities.
