My first post in 2013 - WOW, I have been busy!
Let me tell you what I've been up to these past few months.Firstly, I have been taking my work with the Before & After School program to new depths - cleaning, organizing, sorting, and finally IMPLEMENTING some of the amazing resources we have that have been hidden away for who knows how long!
It feels great to be using awesome items that we have access to - some staff did not even know these items were there! A tip for any educator entering a new work space is to always explore your environment - you just never know what you may find!
I have also been trying to get my Youth Group for St. Augustine Church in Dundas up and running. It has proven to be quite difficult. I have launched a Facebook Group and will continue to meet at the local high school. Next week we are going to really amp up our advertisements within the Church so I do hope to report back with amazing news soon!
Lastly, I am on the job hunt! I have not had much luck in Ontario finding a position with a board - but am still actively trying. I recently applied to the Catholic board in Hamilton and have my fingers crossed that my passion for teaching came through in my application package! I am PLEASED to announce, however, that I have two interviews (one with the Catholic, and one with the Public board) in Medicine Hat, Alberta at the end of March. Can't believe I may actually break into a board and begin my professional journey. I am excited knowing that my teaching could take me across Canada! What an opportunity!
I came across this trailer for a film by Chris Jordan entitled Midway. It looks extremely touching and goes hand in hand with one of my biggest beliefs - we need to educate our students about pollution and it's extreme effects on our world, in hopes that they can make informed decisions and create change.
