Ontario Secondary school teacher with 13 years experience. I have extensive teaching experience in the following disciplines. 1. Social Sciences ( Intro to Anthro, Soc, Psych, Human Dynamics etc 2. History (Canadian History, American History, World History) 3. Law, Civics, Careers 4. Special Education ( Developmentally Delayed, Behavioural Challanges and Disorders, ASD, FAS, 5. Guidance and Counselling
I design all my courses and plan every lesson in accordance to the Backwards Design Theory. The basic rationale motivating backward design is that starting with the end goal, rather than a starting with the first lesson chronologically delivered during a unit or course, helps teachers design a sequence of lessons, problems, projects, presentations, assignments, and assessments that result in students achieving the academic goals of a course or unit. I am a teacher that infuses rich and meaningful conversation into each lesson and finds the opportunity to link it to 'real world' and 'real life' situations and scenarios. My goal as an educator is to always find a way to assist in the development of teenagers reaching their maximum personal potential, and making them positive contributing members of Canadian society.
