Instructor Training & Professional Development

For practitioners to be as effective as possible, it is crucial that they continually expand their knowledge and skills.

The School of Global Access is an established leader in the delivery of professional development to practitioners, enabling educators to better meet the needs of diverse learners.

We are committed to building capacity in teaching and learning, and we share our expertise in numerous ways. Our experts facilitate both face-to-face and online professional development opportunities that allow practitioners to reach beyond their classroom walls and tap into a wider network of resources and support.

    Innovations in ESL literacy programming

    Stories from the Field Volume 3 is a new series of stories that explores innovations in ESL literacy programming that have been spearheaded by the School of Global Access. Over the past fifteen years, we have become a recognized leader in the field of ESL literacy, producing a wealth of resources that have been developed and vetted by ESL literacy experts.

    This unique applied research project is a collaboration between the School of Foundational Learning and the School of Global Access. Stories from the Field Volume 3 reports on current issues, challenges and innovative work happening in the adult literacy and essential skills field throughout Alberta.
