My name is Sidney McKay and I have been a teacher and instructional leader for 30 years with the Toronto District School Board. I hold specialist qualifications in Special Education (including Gifted) and Science (P/J). I am a published author of a well known Hands-On Science program and have authored and taught all three parts of the Science in P/J specialist course AQ courses. If you have any questions or are looking for suggestions for materials for your program (e.g. where do I find streak plates?) please feel to free to use the ASK A QUESTION button, or email me at teachingisagift@outlook.com.
