The CLS, in Saskatoon, SK, is located on Treaty Six land in the traditional territories of the Nêhiyawak (Cree), Anishinabek, Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nations, and the homeland of the Métis. As educators, we respect Indigenous Ways of Knowing and oral traditions. We dedicate ourselves to moving forward in the spirit of partnership, reconciliation, and collaboration.
How Are We Doing?
We have embarked on a Program Evaluation! An invitation to fill in a survey has been sent to all of the science educators that we have email addresses for within the last 5 years (so you've participated in a PD session or students on the beamlines or the TREE program or some other kind of engagement). If we missed you, it's possible that our files are not up-to-date, please get in touch so that we can update that.
How Can We Help?
The purpose of this Virtual Classroom is to create an accessible learning platform for science educators and their students across Canada, Turtle Island, and the globe, especially those in remote areas, to engage with our learning activities and resources. Our programs are individualized with each educator. Do you have a topic in your course that you would like to connect to synchrotron light or research conducted with it? We are here to help! Reach out to us!
