Intercollegiate Ped Days : working together, stronger together

Abstract

"Teaching and learning are collaborative and collective endeavours, especially in times of greatest need. The state of emergency remote teaching imposed by the pandemic has underlined the value of community-based pedagogical support and the need for ongoing collective exchange in the college network at all levels of intervention, such as teachers, pedagogical counsellors, professionals, and managers. For a group of pedagog ical counsellors from across the English CEGEP network, this need has found an echo in founding the Intercollegiate Ped Days (IPD), to expand beyond the already existing local pedagogical days and to afford educators across the network opportunities to cultivate pedagogical and professional development. In this article, we review how we founded IPD, describing the conception process, participation, and growth potential in an attempt to document this collective effort and encourage further collaborations in the broader CEGEP network."-- AQPC
