This grant was created to provide B.C. public post-secondary educators with more equitable access to funding for professional development related to creating excellent learning experiences and environments for diverse student groups. Topics may include online teaching and learning, decolonizing curriculum and teaching practices, open educational practices, digital fluency, and alternative assessment strategies.

BCcampus is seeking proposals from teams (formal or informal) of subject matter experts to work collaboratively to address the need among rural PSIs for occasional guidance on the management and resolution of SVM incidents. 

BCcampus is looking for someone to join their team in the role of Director, Collaborative Projects and lead Indigenous engagement. They value leading with compassion with a lens of equity. Their goal is to create a workplace where individuals can be themselves and support each other’s growth. Accountability is important to them and they expect all members of their team to treat each other and those in their broader community with dignity and respect. They have a lot of laughs and do important work together that really matters to them. They are looking for someone to bring their unique perspectives, experiences, and expertise into their mix.
