SFU celebrates 10 years of teacher education in India
A trip to India in 2013 forever changed Daniel Cooper’s teaching philosophy.
The Burnaby school teacher spent two months in Dharamsala, India as part of the Professional Development Program’s International Teacher Education Module (ITEM) and says engaging with the Tibetan community and exploring its views on education had a tremendous impact on his life and career.
Cooper returned to SFU in February of 2020 and shared his experience at the ITEM India 10th anniversary celebration.

SFU’s Centre for Educational Excellence ready to help instructors transition back to campus
From Zoom lectures and modified syllabi, to Canvas discussion groups and online office hours, SFU’s instructors have put immense time and energy into adapting their courses for a virtual environment. As we have moved back to in-person classes, instructors might wonder if the modifications—or some of them—should be incorporated into their regular teaching practices.
