Teaching Portfolio

My educational philosophy is grounded in reflective, research-based practice.
I'm learning every day, and my big-picture goal is to foster care and choice in education systems.
This page offers my thoughts on moments which shape my teaching practice.
The pages are organized to reflect my pedagogy.

Resources & Information for Parents

I've had the opportunity to learn from some of the best educators in the world. Sarah Cooper's well-articulated blog post titled "Distance Learning Strategies to Bring Back to the Classroom" outlines strategies I've been taught to structure my classes with, and after reading this I'm confident our profession will grow from this school year. Your parental input is also critical to that growth. Educators who have the initiative and care to routinely adapt their practice based on reflection and research are leading the way, and I'm proud to be counted among them.

Given our current social, political, and environmental issues, I've compiled a list of resources as a quick reference guide for informing ourselves, and those we engage with, on the important issues in our communities:
  • "How to Teach Racial Acceptance" (Beatrice Ekwa Ekoko, 2015) 
  • "Glossary of Anti-Racist Terminology" from Ontario's 2017 publication "3-Year Anti-Racism Strategic Plan" (2017)
  • "Glossary of Terms in the English Curriculum" from the Ontario Ministry of Education's English Curriculum
  • Advocacy for Dual Language Use in Classrooms desk-sheet, created in AQ: ELLs, Part 1 (2017)
Parents can also find the most recent copy of the Ontario College of Teacher's E-Newsletter: here.
​It's a great online resource to bookmark in your Internet browser.
