BC TEAL is proud to present our 2025 Annual Conference: Disruptive Educational Practices: Strategies for Transformation.

Educators shine in times of change to face unexpected challenges. This is when creativity flourishes by combining proven practices with fresh and innovative ideas. These times call for transformation which can be rooted in tradition or experience, or it can arise through unexplored approaches. The synthesis of old and new ideas drives meaningful progress. Join other insightful and creative educators as we flourish within the power of our community.

Building on the foundational insights from the first session, this workshop will focus on practical applications of TELL standards through interactive discussions and multimedia resources. Participants will review video interviews and testimonials from both Avenue Learning Leadership course graduates and the attendees of NorQuest College’s Standards workshops. These real-world examples showcase successful implementations of learning technology and provide actionable takeaways for educators.


The session will also feature curated multimedia elements, including short podcasts and participant reflections, to foster a dynamic and engaging learning environment. Through these resources, attendees will explore innovative solutions for integrating technology into their teaching practices, overcoming challenges, and creating more engaging and effective learning experiences for their students.
Interactive discussions will encourage participants to reflect on their own experiences and collaborate on identifying practical strategies for navigating barriers, leveraging opportunities, and aligning with shifting funder priorities. By engaging directly with peer experiences and best practices, participants will develop actionable plans tailored to their unique contexts.


Designed to be both reflective and practical, this session equips attendees with tools, ideas, and inspiration to implement TELL standards effectively and drive innovation in their programs. Presenters will share their expertise and insights, creating a collaborative space where participants can explore technology integration and leadership development.
