Hello Everyone! It's been a while since my last post in 2019. Last you heard from me, I mentioned being married to an amazing Real Estate Agent named Aryan (you can visit his Property Fellaz Website & Instagram). Since then, we had our lovely daughter and I was off on a Maternity Leave for a year. Being a wife, a mother, and a teacher have truly been the greatest joys of my life!
I then came back from Maternity and began my journey at Wellington Public School. I taught Primary/Junior SSC & Intermediate Math SSC online (during COVID). I then taught in the Primary ASD Community Class using a Blended Learning/Hybrid platform. Following this, I taught a year of Grade 5 and a 3/4 year of Grade 2. In previous years at Moraine Hills Public School, I also taught Kindergarten, Grade 6, and Grade 3. I am currently back as a substitute teacher until I obtain another LTO or preferably contract. In the meantime, I am manifesting my longstanding professional goal of becoming permanent contract teacher. I have had this goal since I was 8 years old! (See the "YRDSB's Newest Supply Teacher" post here).
This past December 2022, I also obtained my Part 3, Primary Education Specialist with the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. I had applied for, and gained equivalency status of part 1 & 2 with the Ontario Collage of Teachers (OCT) back when I graduated many years ago. This was due to my extensive experiences within my educational background and practicums directly working with children from Infancy-12 years of age. For those of you who would like to learn more about my educational journey, click here. This was also one of my professional goals, to achieve a Specialist, in a desired area of focus. I love teaching both Primary and Junior divisions and will happily accept a contract position for either of them.
I look forward to continuing to share my Teaching and Learning journey with you on this blog, along with my Instagram (@Educate.Invest.Inspire) and Twitter (@Edu.Inv.Inspire) pages!
