Some of the Values that Shape My Work

I am often reminded that teaching is not a solo enterprise; it’s a journey with different travellers all headed toward the same destination. To that end, I am interested in helping teachers to understand the value of collaboration—working with colleagues and families to construct the best learning experiences for their students. I am also committed to keeping constructivism vibrant in traditionally-driven settings and am aware of the need to view lessons through the prisms of cultural and socio-economic differences, among other things. Another interest of mine is helping teachers to become keener observers of children’s behaviors. Equipping teachers with the tools to analyze and address these behaviors is fundamental to their role in the classroom and beyond. In light of these things, I am excited about learning from my students and serving as a guide on their journey as educators.
