Rosemary Shannon, Instructor and Chair of Lethbridge College’s Massage Therapy Program, shares her use of narrative instruction that's bringing learning to life for her students. Rosemary uses illustrative language to guide her students in developing hands-on skills from day one. This method not only saves Rosemary hours in demonstration time, but it’s also helping her students gain confidence in establishing a practice that’s uniquely their own.

Seanna Uglem (Career Development Coordinator) and Tanya Weder (Multimedia Production Instructor) join us from Lethbridge College to shed light on the importance of the Student Core Competencies (SCCs) and how learners are naturally developing these critical life skills within curriculum. SCCs (such as critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, etc.) are among the soft skills employers are looking for in future employees, and so, integrating SCCs into curriculum is equipping learners for greater professional success as they transition into the workforce.
