Educators demonstrate a broad knowledge base and an understanding of areas they teach.
As of now, I am halfway through the Bachelors of Education program, in which I have learned so much about literacy, inclusion, numeracy and the foundations of education. I had been told multiple times prior to this program “you don’t learn anything in school, you learn everything once you get in your first classroom”. I can happily say that school is not just a place to get a slip of paper from, I have actually learned and I know I will continue to learn for the next few months until graduation!
Besides the BEd, I also have a *mostly* complete Bachelors of Arts with a major in History. I graduated from my local college with honours for my Associates of Arts, and I have a diploma in Acting from Vancouver Film School.
While on my LOP I have taken part of some really great Pro-D workshops, one of them being with Nikki Linemen who gave a great presentation on math subjects.
As I continue my career I plan to take advantage of all the different Pro-D workshops to enhance my depth of knowledge.
