As a child, I remember my sister would assign me the role of a student while she played the teacher. She gave me numerous spelling tests and quizzed me on my math skills; however, I always wished I would get to one day play the role of a teacher.<\/p>\n
My opportunity came while I was working at The Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth, where I worked with junior high and high school students who had just immigrated to Canada. My job was to teach them life skills in an after-school program setting. The life skills they learned would assist them not only in their daily lives short-term, but long-term as well. It was here that I was able to acknowledge my passion and love for teaching. It was a great feeling knowing that I was making a difference in these children’s lives. \u00a0My passion stems from a love of knowledge and my consistent curiosity is why I plan to incorporate innovation and creativity in my classroom.<\/p>\n
This website will include my teaching philosophy, my educational background, lesson plans that I have created and used during my practicum, and examples of artifacts from my practicum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
