Welcome to the first edition of the Queen’s Faculty of Education Dean’s Review. This annual publication aims to engage and inform alumni and the education community about the activities, goals, and accomplishments at our Faculty.
Social responsibility is our centre of gravity at the Faculty of Education. In recent years, we have articulated a desire to emphasize the role of education in promoting and developing Indigenous education and knowledge, and equity, diversity, and inclusion in our teaching and research.
The year 2020 was unlike any in recent memory, bringing the Faculty of Education community together in unexpected ways. Online classes, meetings on Zoom, and virtual breakout rooms impacted how we teach, learn, and research.
The first edition of the Faculty's latest publication The Knowledge Forum is now available now! The 2019 edition (PDF 6.7 MB) focuses on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and features content from students, teachers, alumni, faculty and staff.

In September I told my students how badly I missed traveling.
I told them about the story of “Flat Stanley/ Clement Aplati” who traveled the world in an envelope.
So I decided to have them make paper dolls with the intention of sending them around the world. One student asked “can we send it to our president?” Why not? Our Prime Minister was a teacher after all! So I sent it via “snail mail” to Prime Minister Trudeau, not really expecting a reply.
