I'm an elementary teacher in Vancouver, also doing work with EBB to create campus connections. I'm hoping to get something started up at UBC and noticed that you completed the International Development certificate there. I actually have been contemplating the certificate also. Would love to connect to hear about your experiences. I'm not a P.E. teacher, but I did a program assessement for UNICEF India last year on a pilot sports for development initiative. Please give me a shout!
