OVERVIEW
This Graduate Diploma in Advanced Professional Studies in Education (GDE) program has been developed in partnership with School District #41, Burnaby, for educators interested in deepening their understanding of the contemplative and embodied basis to effective social-emotional and trauma-sensitive pedagogical practices in the classroom.
Due to current Health and Safety protocols, the Spring 2021 term will be conducted online, through both synchronous and asynchronous methods. Courses will embody the program's core foundations of relationship building, inquiry and collaborative learning.
