As Acting Dean of the Faculty of Education, it is my pleasure to welcome you all to the University of Regina for CSSE 2018! We are delighted to host educational researchers from across Canada for an exciting week of academic exchange. I would like to thank our conference organizers Wanneta Martin and Keith Adolph in their roles as Local Area Coordinators and as well as students, faculty, and staff who also volunteered their time.

We are looking forward to hosting you in Regina and on campus for this year’s conference. While you are here, I hope you have an opportunity to learn more about the Faculty of Education, which has a fine reputation for undergraduate and graduate programs in Education in specializations such as French teacher education, Arts Education, and Adult Education, to name but a few. We also offer certificate programs in elementary school mathematics, inclusive education, educational technology and media, TESOL and human resource administration in education. Several Indigenous teacher education programs are also associated with the Faculty: Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program (SUNTEP, Regina), Indigenous Education (First Nations University of Canada, Regina), Yukon Native Teacher Education Program (YNTEP, Whitehorse), and Nunavut Teacher Education Program (NTEP). The Faculty has excellent longstanding relationships with educational agencies in the province and has been a leader in educational developments over the years.

CSSE 2018 promises to be an engaging programme. I wish you all an excellent conference.

Andrea Sterzuk
