Summary
I am a dynamic educator with extensive experience at Red Deer Catholic Schools, proficient in universal design for learning, and differentiated instruction. Relationship building is a primary focus of mine, which allows me to connect with my students, creating a safe atmosphere for learning, and benefiting classroom management. I empower students to excel in math and science through innovative teaching strategies, fostering critical thinking, and engaging them in diverse classroom activities. I am consistent with formative assessment, so I know where my learners are, and I am able to adapt my lessons as needed to support their learning outcomes and goals.
