New Beginnings
|
I didn't always know I wanted to be an educator, but when I realized I did it wasn't all that tough a turn to take. Since then, I've discovered a few things. For one, teaching youth is the most fulfilling work I've ever done, and the sense of accomplishment I experience when I see a concept finally 'click' for a student is unparalleled. I feel immense pride and respect for the teaching profession and believe that the strength of a people is fundamentally dependent on the strength of their education. Another thing I've come to learn about teaching is that it's fun! The days have never gone quicker than when I have a full day of teaching, and the nonstop performance is just as much exhilarating as it is exhausting. And, as it turns out, I've got a knack for this education thing.
In an era of limitless job possibilities, each day I spend teaching further solidifies my assurance that this is what I am meant to be: a teacher. |
This website serves as an introduction and summary of my qualifications to be a teacher. The PEDAGOGY page gives an overview of my perspective on what it means to be an effective educator, while the TRB STANDARDS page gives concrete examples of my commitment and adherence to the Standards put forth by the BC Ministry of Education Teacher Regulation Branch.
