Corrected information for Practicum Mondays and the Block from the Bulletin
by Faculty of Education Associate Dean (Undergrad) 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Hello, thank you to those who reached out to let us know there was conflicting information in the latest Bulletin. We are correcting the mistake and will resend the bulletin. In the meantime, pleas see below for the info you want to use when reading about the Practicum Mondays and the Block (the accurate dates are italicized). Revised: Teacher candidates will attend their Practicum Schools on Monday, October 23 and 30. Teacher candidates will not attend Practicum Mondays in their host schools on Oct. 2 and 9 because the University of Manitoba is closed on those days (National Truth and Reconciliation Day and Thanksgiving). The October 16 practicum day has been moved to Friday, October 20, and you will attend your Friday B.Ed. classes on that Monday instead. Friday, October 20 is MTS SAGE PD Day, which is a required practicum day because it is just simply a terrific learning and networking opportunity (and will be part of your professional learning when you are a certified teacher). Please register for a full-day or two half-day sessions. We will look forward to the block beginning on November 20, which follows the Fall Reading Break. Sincerely, [https://umanitoba.ca/admin/mco/brand/download/UM_Logo_VERT_RGB.png] Nicole Jensen Office of the Associate Dean Undergraduate & Partnerships Faculty of Education Room 213 Education Building Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-9015 nicole.jensen(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:nicole.jensen@umanitoba.ca> The University of Manitoba campuses are located on the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.

Statement of Support for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights from UM Faculty of Education
by Faculty of Education Office of the Dean 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

[cid:image002.png@01D9ECB3.0D38D5F0] Dear Faculty, Staff and Students, Recently, we have heard about rallies for which inclusivity of 2SLGBTQIA+ rights were challenged. As educators and administrators, we support inclusive schools and safe environments where everyone feels valued and respected. Rights such as those related to gender expression and gender identity are enshrined in the Canadian Human Rights Act, and it is our responsibility to respect these rights and advocate for those who are unfairly treated. We value diversity and we are committed to engaging in constructive conversations that work towards equity and inclusivity in all spaces. With education and respectful conversations, we will build a more equitable environment together. Educators have an essential role in promoting a culture of care and compassion and in helping students develop the skills and understandings they need to create a more just society. UM staff are available to help those who are affected by these difficult topics. We encourage members of our community to reach out to advisors in our faculty, or to staff and faculty in your department, who may assist and support you. The University of Manitoba, Faculty of Education, will be hosting a leadership symposium for and by Queer People October 20th<https://www.mbteach.org/mtscms/2I023/09/04/strengthening-the-status-queer/>. The University provides a wide range of counselling services<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/student-health-and-wellness/student-c…> Additional support for the UM 2SLGBTQIA+ community<https://umanitoba.ca/2slgbtqia-community> We support our 2SLGBTQIA+ students, staff and faculty. Together we are committed to a ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all.
