Teaching
Contributions

Innovative Teaching Projects

 

Coast Mountain College (2018-2020)

In March 2018, January 2019 and Feb. 2020, I have led groups of 10 instructors on a professional development course in experiential place-based education called 'Paddles and Pedagogy'. The course takes place as 6 day sea kayaking trips out of La Paz, Mexico. One instructor's comments on the learning: "Paddles and Pedagogy was legitimately a transformative experience for me as an instructor. It really brought into focus the flaws of conventional teaching practices and highlighted the advantages our college has to be trailblazers in Experiential Place-based Learning. It helped me identify the things I was already doing right but more importantly it provided tons of feedback about how I can improve the things that aren't aiding my students' learning".  

​

Ambrose University College (2013 & 2014)

To promote connections between school and community and to make learning public and have an audience for student work, I created the ‘Boundary Object Project’ in my SCMP (Society and Culture: Methodologies and Practices) 500b education course where students are meant to produce work that serves others or solves a problem for others and results in crossing boundaries between Ambrose and the surrounding communities. To see my 2013 students speak about their understanding and experience, please view this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhhRDGm7h3Q.

           

Briercrest College (2003)

I designed a course that involved spending ten weeks paddling the 1600km long Mackenzie River with students from the Recreation Leadership BA program at Briercrest. We carried with us an 800lb. climbing wall (designed and built by students to fit into two canoes) and were a traveling summer camp – facilitating climbing and spending time with youth in each of the nine First Nations communities along the river.
