Connect first, teach second.

Before we can expect students to learn to their greatest potential, we must first create time and space to develop positive relationships with each of our students.

Student Centered Learning Spaces

Classrooms should not be cut and paste. They should be welcoming and flexible to meet the needs of the students and their learning styles.

Active Learning and Critical Thinking

Everyone learns best when they are engaged and active in their learning experiences. It is important to me to try new strategies and techniques that challenge traditional education practices by creating opportunities for  experiential and inquiry learning.

We are all learners

My students teach me as much as I teach them. I strive to always be learning and developing my own practices in education and skills, modelling life-long learning for my students.
