I have been a teacher at Centennial Regional High School since the 2000-2001 school year. I am presently teaching the secondary three and four history and Secondary Three English courses. Through my years I have taught many courses but history and English are my true passions. I presently hold a Bachelors of Arts from Concordia University in history with a minor in English literature and a Bachelors of Education from Ottawa University.
My philosophy is the idea that basics must always come first. I try to prepare children to enter the next phase of their education with the basics they will need to succeed on our provincial exams and beyond. My expectations are always high but attainable for each child, due to the fact that I attempt to match my expectations to the child's abilities. One important factor of the early school year is that I must grade everything in these courses under the same guidelines as the provincial exams. These may seem harsh to the children at first, but they usually adapt as the year continues. Issues are often from some form of miscommunication If there are ever any issues please feel free to contact me as I wish to aid in your child's success the best I can.
