I am a teacher with the Simcoe County Board
of Education and I've been lucky to meet some amazing kids, parents and staff through
my career. Currently, I am "exploring the world" with a terrific grade 8 class at Allandale Heights P.S.
For me, teaching has turned out to be one of
the best professional and personal experiences. You get to meet a lot of really neat
and talented people. I met my close friend the Green Elf at Hillcrest, she's an
environment-crazy teacher who shares my joy of music. I met a music buddy, Kevin B.,
who is mascarading as a grade 6/7 teacher in Orillia, who then led me to his friend
Joe McC and the three of us have been collaborating (and getting into a bit of
mischief, from time to time) on some indie music projects. I've met some helpful
and talented teachers at many of these schools, who share math, science and so many
other curriculum resources (my many thanks!!) and have received
support from the staff and administration.
But, hey, let's be honest here, .... it's the kids who make this whole journey a lot
of fun ... I have one of the best jobs in the whole world ... I get to explore the world
all day long with a great bunch of kids ... and I get to send everyone home at the end
of the day on the school bus with smiles on their faces!
One of many reasons why I've published this personal site is that I've found that the internet has been a great teaching tool and would
invite you to so many terrific teaching and learning experiences that I've obtained
which I've posted in the FAV LINKS section of this page. Links like math and
unit resources for teachers, astronomy and other interesting science links with
great visuals and websites of some of my favourite schools.
