Outreach
and Community Support
One of the
missions of the Language and Literacy Education Research Centre
is to "establish and maintain interdisciplinary connections
within and across the faculty, the University, the schools, educational
institutions, and the local community." LERC regularly
and actively accomplishes this mission in the research based support
it develops and shares with the local and international educational
communities that the UBC Faculty of Education serves (for example
school workshops, international conference presentations, and Internet
publications).
