Alfred Schaub

Fred Schaub is an online learning faculty member and sessional instructor with Thompson Rivers University and a sessional instructor at Vancouver Island University. As an educational leader, Fred has worked at all levels of the K–12 public education system, including at an independent band school in British Columbia. For the last 20 years, Fred has been on a jour­ney of learning to walk respectfully in both worlds, the Indigenous and the non-Indigenous. He has developed close relational and professional ties to Indigenous communities along the BC coast and holds the honour of being adopted into two Indigenous families. One of Fred’s greatest acco­lades is being described as a cultural ambassador by an Indigenous Elder and Knowledge Keeper; he attempts to honour this description every day.
