• Teacher candidate career information day

  Wednesday, January 18, 2017 | By Brock University

  On Wednesday, January 18 hundreds of students descended upon Brock’s Hamilton campus for an ever-important career information day.

  The event, exclusive to Brock teacher candidates, offered students the opportunity to speak with representatives from a range of Ontario school boards, private schools, First Nations boards, out-of-province, and international schools and have questions about applications, interviews, and other topics relevant to the future teacher job search.

  In addition to the school boards there were representatives from graduate programs, other degrees, and additional qualification courses to offer students additional or alternate next steps to their academic careers.

  For those students looking to have their resumes stand out amongst the throngs of hopeful teachers across the province and worldwide, Brock Career Services was on site to review and advise students’ resumes.

• IRC Makerspace event

  Monday, January 09, 2017 | By Brock University

  Makerspace is a huge buzzword in education, but many teachers do not know what it is or how to get started. As Makerspaces are popping up in classrooms and libraries across the country, the maker movement is giving students and teachers the time and space they need to tinker, learn, imagine, and create.

  On January 14, 2017, the IRC, in collaboration with the Faculty of Education, will be hosting our first Makerspace event. It will be a hands-on learning experience giving attendees an opportunity to explore a variety of high-tech and low-tech centres, promoting creativity, innovation, collaboration and 21st Century learning skills needed for teaching students for future careers that may not yet exist.

  After a fun day of hands-on Maker experience, you’ll leave ready to bring Maker ideas into your classroom. We’ll bring all of the supplies (and lunch); all you need to bring is your creativity and curiosity!
