TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've been teaching grades 4 - 8 core French in Ontario, Canada for over 10 years, and before that, visual art and English in upper grades. I've also written a young adult novel (Signs of Martha, 2011) published by Great Plains Publications, and have published a number of short stories and illustrations.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love using visual support to build language skills. I appreciate the communicative approach to language learning too, where students learn through authentic opinions and experiences. Language-learning through visual arts and drama also engages diverse learners and opens more windows into French and French culture.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Moon Beam Children's Book Award for writing (2011), for novel Signs of Martha.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Visual Arts/English at University of Waterloo, Ontario; Humber School for Writers; additional qualifications in French, Special Education and Visual Arts and English as a Second Language

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Other big interests? Two beautiful (of course) grown-up kids, Alice the poodle, yoga, reading graphic novels and drawing and drawing and drawing!
