Joanne Howe's schedule for BC TEAL 2025 Annual Conference

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

Please note that the Friday evening event, the TEAL Charitable Foundation Awards & Fundraiser, requires an additional ticket purchase. Please register here to secure your spot and join us in celebrating the awardees while fundraising for a better cause in TEAL.

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.

About me

In 2022, I co-created the pilot-project LINC Co-Design program at Douglas College Training Group in Surrey, BC. The program is human-centred with a co-design approach to teach CLB 2/3 English language skills and digital tech skills, integrated together. Another element of the project are the TechLINC workshops for LINC teachers, to explore and update tech skills. I love sharing ideas about creative and experiential project-based learning, and how to develop digital tech lessons to level up tech skills of both ELL students and LINC teachers.
