Session Description:

How do we develop our profession? Reflect and explore opportunities with the LSAC International Relations Director. 

LSAC members have access to many professional development opportunities through our partners in the International Consortium of Academic Language and Learning Developers (ICALLD). Through group discussion and reflection, participants will explore what it means to develop as a learning specialist and have the opportunity to share their development goals. 

Learning Outcomes: 

  • Overview of professional development and recognition opportunities available through the consortium. 
  • Guidance on articulating individual professional development goals. 
  • Identification of international opportunities that align with personal and professional objectives.

Thank you for taking the time to join our LSAC community today. Before we begin, we would like to pause to intentionally express our gratitude for the land we are on today and to all the Indigenous Peoples past, present and future that have and continue to be stewards of these lands. We recognize that moving forward we are mutually responsible for the caretaking and preservation of this land for future generations.

We commit to co-creating an accountable space. In our LSAC community, we are committed to creating an accountable space where we welcome individual growth, learning, and unlearning. In this space, we recognize and gently remind one another that we are all tender humans with our own stories and experiences, both positive and negative. We aim to lead with kindness, openness, and patience as we identify and break down barriers to create a safer space for us all.
