Faculty Lecturer in French Immersion

The Department of Integrated Studies in Education (DISE) is in the midst of an exciting period of growth and renewal. DISE faculty members, students, and staff contribute to the continual process of improving the quality of schools and other educational organizations as they seek to better understand, shape, and sustain the ecologies of learning relationships within and beyond them. Our community understands education to be fundamentally anchored in relation - relation to others, to ideas, to society, to the environment, to local and global needs and issues, to places and their histories, and to oneself.

Leaders work within policy and legal contexts as well as work to change them.
