About the store
If you’re teaching Science and Technology without a science background—or juggling a combined grade—you’re in the right place. Every resource I create is designed to be Hands-On, Minds-On, practical, and easy to implement, so you can focus on teaching, not scrambling to plan.
With over 31 years as a classroom teacher and instructional leader with the Toronto District School Board, I know exactly what works in real classrooms—and what teachers actually need to feel confident and prepared.
I hold Specialist qualifications in Special Education and Primary/Junior Science, and I am the published author of a well-known Hands-On Science program. I have also authored and taught all three parts of the Primary/Junior Science Specialist AQ courses, supporting educators across Ontario in building strong, effective science and technology programs.
My goal is simple: to give you clear, ready-to-use resources that help you cover the curriculum with confidence—even when time is tight.
If you have any questions or need support (for example, sourcing materials like streak plates), please use the Q&A section on the resource page or contact me directly at teachingisagift@outlook.com.
I’m always happy to help!
