The Kwantlen Educational Policy Incubator, [KEPI], was founded in 2016 based on two observations.
-
There are areas within the community that are in need of research support, and
-
There is an abundance of capable and excited minds at undergraduate institutions who are eager to help their communities.
Since then, KEPI has trained and provided opportunities for well over a dozen aspiring policy and pedagogy thinkers, while simultaneously providing support for multiple stakeholders. Such stakeholders include the Ministry of Education; various school districts (teachers, grade 12 students, and administers); BCCPAC; and Faculty, administrators, and support staff at KPU. The support took the form of research on various pedagogical topics, such as honors degrees; learning outcomes; k-12/k-16 education; online education; academic governance structures; audio/visual teaching resources; and many more.
