Experience
I am an Ontario teacher with 18 years of teaching experience. I have spent my career teaching grades 3-6. I hold both my Reading Specialist and ESL Specialist. I love designing resources that help teachers deliver high-quality lessons that embrace inquiry, differentiation and universal design.
Teaching style
I am a always looking to improve my practice as a teacher. This results in new ideas of student inquiry, student centered approaches, differentiated instruction, and targeting learning styles of students. I believe that the teacher is the leader in the classroom and guides students through their own inquiry. In my classroom students sit in groups from day one. We work as a team to make things run smoothly. Students work where they are comfortable even if that means under my desk, in a closet, or laying on the floor. I try to use technology as a tool to bring the world into my classroom. I love my job!!
Awards & shining teacher moments
It is an Honour when people write you to tell you what a difference that you made for a student. I always post these where I can see them and they are worth more to me than any trophy.
