Advanced Teacher Training
Join Ecosource and York University for a unique professional development opportunity for educators
This year’s program is now closed. Please email teachered@ecosource.ca to hear about new opportunities.
The program consists of a series of live, interactive learning sessions led by Ecosource educators and York University teaching partners. Educators who complete four of the six modules earn a certificate of completion from Ecosource and York University’s Faculty of Urban and Environmental Change. We require educators to attend at least one of the in-person sessions as part of certification in order to foster a community of practice.

Presenter: Dr. Deborah McGregor, Associate Professor & Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Environmental Justice, Osgoode Hall Law School
