Hi! My name is Beth-Ann Slivinski. I kindle student motivation by: 
-connecting with students interests
-making learning relevant, - offering the right balance of challenge and support. 

In my classes, you can expect: 
-A whole-person approach, supporting intellectual growth, social connection, & emotional wellbeing 
-A sense of curiosity and appreciation for the world we live in
-A willingness to work with individual student learning styles and interests
-Opportunities for class discussion, inquiry, and reflection 

My Education: 
I studied Environmental Sciences at university (where I earned a gold medal for academic excellence). I then went on to get my education degree and become a certified teacher in my home province of Manitoba, Canada. I continued my learning at a post-graduate level, earning a Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Education, specializing in Universal Design for Learning. I also have a TESL certificate and have completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training. 

Experience:
I have been teaching for more than 25 years now, including a variety of subjects and ages. Topics range from swimming instructor to Culture and Communication teacher, to High School Science teacher.

In my free time: 
When I am not teaching, you will find me hanging out with my kids, re-designing my perennial garden, or practicing Qigong.
