“Shane is a respectful and diligent educator. He uses humility, humour, and experiential learning to engage students and ‘bring them on a transformative journey’. The students were engaged, open, and active learners. Rather than relying on slides and stand-up lecturing, Shane facilitated a circle format and used ‘hooks’ to engage them in the discussion and enable their own learning. I have no doubt that Shane will only grow stronger in his role as an outstanding educator – it was a pleasure to be in his classroom!”
— Faculty Member
“Shane is a lovely instructor who wants all of his students to succeed in his class. He is more than helpful when explaining expectations from the class on assignments and provides constructive feedback that can be used in order to better ourselves when the next assignment becomes due. This course [SWP435: Aboriginal Approaches to Social Work Practice) is a perfect way to integrate other knowledges into the social work profession and prepares students to work in the field with clients who identify as Indigenous”
