Hello fellow ETEC 565 colleagues,
My Name is Grant Naylor and I live in Kamloops, British Columbia, about a three and a half hour drive northeast of Vancouver. I am currently working as a grade 7 teacher at one of the local elementary schools. My wife and I (who is also a teacher) have three children ranging in age from 13 to 3. They keep us very busy. I have been teaching for almost ten years now and this is my fourth course in the MET program. Previously, I have taken ETEC 500, 510, & 532. Currently, my school district is overhauling their outlook and moving towards a technology driven model of 21st century/inquiry based learning. My school is very progressive and had a really strong administrator who has made available many platforms, affordances, and opportunities to improve upon best practice. At the moment, I am also currently applying for our school districts Leadership and Development Program which is a two year program that trains both educational leaders in leadership positions and administrators. To top it off this month, my family and I are also moving into a new home at the end of May. Something tells me the next few weeks are going to be busy. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, playing hockey and slow pitch.
Looking Forward to Working with Everyone!!!
Grant
