What is Queen’s Conference on Education?
Queen’s Conference on Education (QCE) is a professional development conference for post-secondary
students who share an interest, and passion, in the field of education. We are a non-profit event that aims
to provide an opportunity for these students to network, grow and learn about what is new and needed in
education. Throughout the course of the conference weekend, delegates will have the opportunity to
attend three keynote addresses, participate in a wide range of interactive workshops, and attend a closing
banquet. QCE is a conference that is focused on supporting future educators in their goal of teaching the
learners of today.

Queen’s Conference on Education 2016
Why Teach: Exploring Alternative Teaching Avenues to Impact the Learners of Today
In today’s society, teaching happens everywhere. There is no longer a set location where all
teaching must occur, or only one way to teach or learn something. Teachers must adjust their teaching
styles to the way their students learn best, no matter who these students might be, or where they might be
teaching. When graduating with a Bachelor of Education, the clear path is to teach in a traditional
classroom, but is this the only option? This year’s conference will focus on different routes than the
traditional classroom setting, and varying ways of educational instruction.
Queen’s Conference on Education 2016 will aim to provide delegates with information regarding
different pathways they can follow after graduating with their Bachelor of Education. It will also provide
various strategies that can be implemented in all types of classrooms in order for students to get the most
out of their learning experience. Teachers will be able to support their students more effectively with
what they are able to learn at the conference and transfer into their future classrooms.
Delegates will have the opportunity to participate in four workshops over the course of the
weekend, and attend 3 keynote addresses. The four workshop types include:
 Why Teach
o Motivating about chosen profession
 Alternative Avenues
o Extracurricular side of education
 Learners of Today
o Differentiated instruction
 Panels
o How to Get Hired
o Exceptionalities
o Asking the Difficult Questions
o What Else Can You Do in B.Ed?
We believe in the importance of positively impacting future educators, and that is what we see as the goal
of our conference.
