The thought of teaching a newly updated syllabus for the first time brings a barrage of questions: What are the updates and changes? Is there anything that remains the same from the previous syllabus? What is the best way to structure this new course?

We hear you, ESS, Global Politics, and SEHS educators!

Join us on August 31 to unpack the new subject guides for Environmental Systems and Societies, Global Politics, and Sports, Exercise and Health Science, set for first teaching in August 2024.

These hands-on sessions, led by subject-specific educators with extensive experience, are designed to ensure you step into your classroom with confidence, having mastered the latest updates in your subject.

Note: The ESS, Global Politics and SEHS sessions will run in parallel, each in different Zoom meetings.
