NickiI am thrilled to be joining the school support team here in PWPSD. In my first nine years of teaching, I have been fortunate to teach a variety of grades in a variety of subjects. After falling (back) in love with math, I completed my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction of Numeracy in 2020. My goal is to share the beauty and joy of math with others.
I collect good math problems and passport stamps. #mathrock |
LeannI have been teaching since 1998 and have had the opportunity to teach in schools on northern Vancouver Island, High Level and here in Grande Prairie. I was an Alberta Excellence in Teaching semi-finalist in 2011, have completed extensive balanced literacy training including a two year train-the-trainer model of Balanced Literacy, have been a member of the NRLC Teaching/Learning/21st Century Competencies Leadership Cohort for the past five years and was the recipient of MCATA Mathematics Educator of the Year Award in 2013. Teaching grades five and six, over the past ten years, literacy and numeracy have been my top priorities. My experiences in the classroom have taught me that students thrive in an environment that allows them to puzzle, question, explain and problem solve. When students are engaged in their own learning, they willingly accept the challenge to think critically and reflectively. I am very excited to begin this new chapter working side by side with teachers as we uncover ways to teach numeracy and literacy that build communication, connections and critical thinking skills for all students.
