A little about me...
A little about me...
I have wanted to be a teacher since I was 6 years old. Though I have taken many pit stops and detours on my journey I am proud and excited to be finally reaching my goal.
I consider my time working as an educational assistant valuable. I saw many different teaching styles and while I was in the background of the classroom I was able to observe how these different approaches affected children’s behaviour and motivation. I also learned that celebrating the small victories can increase the momentum of learning for children. When we focus on even the smallest positives we can instil positive attitudes in children that will help them build confidence within themselves that can carry on throughout their lives, helping them be more successful.
Now, as a teacher, I practice approaches such as social-emotional learning, mindfulness, and universal design for learning. I believe combining these approaches with the Ontario curriculum provides an overall education that students can thrive within. When students feel heard, valued and belonging they can effectively express themselves, actively participate in activities and feel confident in their learning among their peers.
I believe that school is more than learning curriculum; It is also about learning who you are and becoming the best version of yourself. Starting early in childhood, children begin to learn lifelong lessons such as how to be respectful, how to communicate and work with others, how to be a good friend, and how they problem solve. All of these things will carry on into adulthood. If we can nurture students with their education while helping them feel confident in who they are as people we can help students grow into the best versions of themselves so that they can build successful lives for themselves.
As we are all life-long learners, there are always more things to learn. In my future learning journey I would like to explore special education, how to properly and effective teach health, and to gain insight on how to incorporate different cultures and social justice issues onto the classroom.
