I am an Ontario Certified teacher since 2013 and I have been teaching Primary French Immersion homeroom since then. During my experience as a homeroom teacher, I have always created an inclusive environment that promotes participation and risk-taking with the goal of helping students improve their confidence. Students learn best when they share their ideas and experiences, and make connections to their peers' ideas and experiences.
I have completed additional qualifications courses in French, Math, Kindergarten, Special Education and Teaching Students with Autism.
I am also a mother of two boys with speech delays. Through attending multiple workshops and parent courses such as Hanen's It Takes to Two to Talk and More than Words, I have learned and practiced strategies that have had a big effect on my sons' ability to express themselves as well as their confidence. In working with professionals such as Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists and DIR Therapists, I have gained even more knowledge about how to engage all learners so that they are having fun and connecting with others while learning.
While on an extended maternity leave, I created the business Bloom and Grow Forever where I taught classes in English and in French to small groups of students. This was a flexible way for me to continue teaching part-time while still looking after my two young kids. It was a wonderful experience and I was very sad to put the business on hold when I returned to work full-time. Bloom and Grow Forever is also a Teachers Pay Teachers store where I sell resources for teachers. I mostly sell complete unit plans that are what any administrator is looking for when teachers are being evaluated. The unit plans are helpful for new teachers or experienced teachers and they include curriculum expectations for Ontario teachers, a unit overview, all materials needed for the lessons, full lesson plans, formative and summative assessments, learning goals and success criteria.
Becoming a teacher was a calling for me but I could not believe how hard the job was when I first started teaching. Now that I have been teaching for many years and after trying out many many strategies (some worked and some did not), I would like to help other teachers so that they find the job a little less difficult. I am continuing to make unit plans and I have started making Science of Reading aligned resources in French. My next goal is to start offering free webinars for teachers in the areas of easy to implement classroom management strategies and literacy centres. Please follow my journey and feel free to reach out to me at any time for help.
