This course provides teacher candidates with the skill sets required to develop an understanding of the well-being of the self and of all members of the school community. Teacher candidates develop trauma-informed pedagogy and practice to support students' development of resilience behaviours and positive mental health. They examine the meaning of professionalism through an examination of the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) Code of Ethics and BC Teachers’ Council (BCTC) Professional Standards. Workplace culture is examined through a lens of collaboration and an understanding of the many roles of the educator. Graded on a PASS/FAIL basis.
