Anyone who is hungry to expand their knowledge of agriculture can register for BC Agriculture in the Classroom (BCAITC) and the UBC Faculty of Education's Summer Institute course in Abbotsford, BC. Together, we provide participants with professional development tools and resources to help them integrate important concepts related to food, the agriculture industry, and environmental sustainability into their life and classrooms.
Through active participation, field trips, guest speakers, and video presentations, participants in this five-day course explore practical ways to integrate concepts related to food production and consumption, food safety, agricultural issues, and sustainability across the curriculum at all grade levels. The result? Curriculum projects and lesson units that can be shared with students, as well as other educators around the province, that are rich in agricultural literacy.
The Summer Institute is a three-credit course, or it can be taken as a non-credit workshop
The course is open to anyone. You do not have to be an Educator to register. Everyone who participants will walk away with a new and broader understanding of local agriculture.
Dates for 2027 have not yet been finalized but usually it is the 3rd week of July.
