VIU hosts 2 Faculty Pedagogists: Antje & Cheryl

“Thank you to the Ministry of Children and Family Development for funding this important initiative to introduce the new role of pedagogist across British Columbia,” said Antje Bitterberg, an Instructor with VIU’s ECEC program and now a pedagogist through the province’s Early Childhood Pedagogy Network. “As a pedagogist, I will work alongside children, educators, practicum students and families. I will support educators to explore the BC Early Learning Framework. This ongoing access to rich professional development will, I hope, lead to increased retention of educators in this field. Working collaboratively, we will be able to question conventional structures in education and wonder together how we might see things anew.”
