Presentation by: Margot Filipenko, Yvonne Dawydiak, with co-presenters Wendy Traas & Ian, Shaheen and Kate (TELL 3C TCs)
Session: Session C | Time: 11:00AM -11:50AM | Location: Room 200
On a walk through UBC Vancouver Campus, TELL 3C teacher candidates (TCs) explored and were inspired by gardens that were, that are and that might be. We began at the Neville Scarfe Seed Library, moved to the Scarfe Children’s Garden and then proceeded across campus to the Orchard Garden. Our morning of place-based outdoor learning with Dr. Susan Gerofsky helped us understand some of the research and the possibilities related to the garden as co-teacher. At the same time, it inspired the creation of eco-poetry that we shared in an innovative fashion online. Join TC’s, Faculty and Staff for this interactive session where you will have the opportunity to be inspired to create, and perhaps even share, a poem of your own as you see, hear and experience some of what we learned and did in the garden. Be prepared to head outside for a portion of the session (weather and time depending)!
