Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I'm Jill and I'm a certified teacher in beautiful British Columbia and Ontario Canada. I taught in private, International Baccalaureate schools in a variety of roles for 10 years. I am deeply passionate about helping learners develop future-ready skills in a real-life context that matters to them.
I've taught English Language Arts, ESL, French, Special Education and I've been a librarian, technology integrator, and literacy specialist. I've also owned my own business running sport programs for children, worked as a consultant writing research and development grants, and I spent one glorious summer as a tour guide in the Rocky Mountains in Canada.
In my classes, I tend to anchor the skills I want students to develop in a real-life context. Some of the topics I focus on are environmental problems, social justice, neuroplasticity and memory, bias in the news, and entrepreneurship. Overall, I search for content that students can connect to and care about so that they are naturally motivated to learn, and I frame it in a way that they'll need to problem-solve, collaborate, innovate, and analyze. These are the transferable skills that will serve young learners in the unpredictable future that awaits them!
I'm a mother of two energetic (euphemism for wild) boys who have mastered the art of indulging their mom in her educational whims. Their curiosity and indomitable spirit has helped me as a teacher and learner. Our little family of four recently moved from Vancouver to Toronto, Canada, where we embrace a healthy, green lifestyle, and love to be as active as possible.
