The Summer Institute in Education (SIE) offers excellent learning opportunities for all teachers in the areas of professional development, as well as Teacher Qualification Service (TQS) upgrading and graduate electives. Designed for optimum flexibility, the courses cover a wide range of topics. You can customize your own program.

Since 2007, SIE has offered a series of credited courses during the summer session at UBC's Okanagan campus. Starting in 2011, SIE added a yearly theme and developed 2- and 3-credit offerings.

In the summer, the campus atmosphere is active and inviting. The interactive, experiential nature of the courses and the weekly social gatherings provide meaningful times for learning and networking.

Highly trained instructors from across Canada and around the world join local specialists to offer excellent learning opportunities.
