UNBC School of Education

Dr. Christine Ho Younghusband is co-presenting with 3 Teacher Candidates at the 2026 UNBC Teaching and Learning Conference on August 27th at 1pm PST in room 10-2522 in a panel session titled, “Undergraduate Scholarship: Engaged in Research as Teacher Candidates.” Join us.

Congrats . HELLO Block 5. Get • & that’s a wrap on Block 4! See you all in September! 😎

From Summer learning looks a little different here. Teacher candidates are stepping outside the classroom to learn on the land, deepening their understanding of place, relationships, and ways of knowing that will shape their future classrooms.

The Regional Teacher Education Program (Quesnel, Terrace, Prince Rupert) on campus in-person in Prince George for part of the summer intersession. Good to see you!! Happy Learning!! 🙌

Thank you UNBC Education Club for hosting a summer gathering outdoor event for both Prince George and Regional Teacher Candidates. 🩷🙌

Fun learning with the elementary cohort at the Prince George teacher education program in Physical and Health Education. Thank you UNBC Education Club for the images.

Prince George Teacher Candidates are back in session for Block 4. Introducing the SY TCs. 🔥🔥🔥 .

The online session (Day 2) of the School of Education Retreat 2026. We had a quick recap of Day 1 at West Lake Provincial Park, and we briefly engaged in each of three activities from Day 1 as part of Day 2. Added commentary and reflections were appreciated from Day 1 with Day 2 participants. Lots of good vibes and thank you all for attending. 💯

And that’s a wrap for the 2026 School of Education Retreat. Thank you for being our guest speaker and starting us in a good way. We were visited by 2 eagles, one raven, one deer, and a squirrel. Lots of gifts today. The SOE Crew engaged in several team building and collab activities. Lots of wonderful work and learning done by the faculty. ❤️💯
