Experience
Through my years of experience as an educator in a wide variety of settings and with a diverse cohort of students, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical and practical applications of teaching students. I have taught in both the private and public education sectors as well and both in-person and online. In my previous position as an Academic Officer at TVO ILC, I worked to support teachers, students, curriculum developers and facilitators in their education journey at Ontario’s largest online high school. During this time I successfully designed and implemented a variety of training opportunities for teachers including assessment best practices and effective feedback development. I use all that I have learned through this experience when developing my lessons and activities in order to bring you the best teaching tools possible for use with your own students.
Teaching style
My approach to teaching emphasizes the use of real world inquiry-based learning experiences offering students many access points to solving challenges and developing their love of learning. This is reflected in my store as I aim to provide actual real world examples, challenges and pieces of data that students can work with. This increases engagement and gives a whole new level of meaning to students as they learn.
My own education history
I hold a Bachelor Degree in Science as well as in Education. Additionally, my recent Masters of Education Degree, focusing on virtual learning, reflects my ongoing dedication to professional growth. I am particularly drawn to providing teachers with resources as I have a love for curriculum and lesson design. This role as a TPT seller allows me to use the best parts of my education to help other teachers bring engaging lessons into their own classrooms.
TPT is the largest marketplace for PreK-12 resources, powered by a community of educators.
