Pre-service teacher candidates are preparing to host their second annual exhibition, “Building Bridges: Promoting Best Practices for Supporting Newcomer Students,” featuring facts and pieces of their work that reflect their perspectives and experiences in working with newcomer students.
The event, set for Friday, Jan. 24, is the culmination of months of research, reflection, and experiential work by the teacher candidates. It brings together pre-service teachers from two service-learning courses — Project RISE (Refugee and Immigrant Student Engagement) and Teaching English Language Learners (ELL).
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday in the CAW Student Centre. Admission is free and open to all members of the university community, as well as local educators and administrators.
