      She and 24 other educators in the MEd cohort spent only one day in the classroom during the two-year program. The rest of their classes were held in natural settings off-campus that included q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie) and q̓ʷa:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen) First Nations lands where they learned from Indigenous elders and experts about the land and land stewardship. They also learned about the long-term impacts of colonial practices such as overfishing.
