I
am currently completing my studies with the University of Calgary's
Master of Teaching Program where I will receive my Bachelor
of Education degree this spring. I also hold a Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree from the University of Victoria where I completed
a Writing Major and a Film Studies Minor.
I
have a particular interest in how technology and differentiation
can work in a classroom to improve and deepen student learning.
Through my work in the MT Program, I have used inquiry and other
teaching methodologies. My classroom will be filled with enthusiasm
and creativity as students grapple real-world problems as they
relate to their curriculum.
During
my practicum experiences, I designed, delivered and assessed
learning in all subject areas using a wide variety of instructional
techniques. As well, I designed an integrated farming unit for
a multi-aged Grade 1/2 class where learning expectations were
exceeded. This unit combined several subject areas including
social studies, science, fine arts and language arts. I became
an active member of my schools' communities, participating in
several extracurricular activities. My praxis evaluation states
that my "sense of responsibility and accountability matches
a good work ethic and a desire to make a positive difference
in children's learning and lives."
I
will bring enthusiasm, creativity, proven teaching ability,
leadership and a deep passion to see all students find success
in their learning.
