Teaching Qualifications
I am an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT#670429) with qualifications in:
Teaching Experience (most recent first)
Central Huron Secondary School (LTO): I taught one section of grade 12 university physics (SPH4U) and a split physics course consisting of grade 11 university students and grade 12 college students (SPH3U/4C). I began SPH4U using Chris Meyer's reformed physics teaching strategy, which was well-received by the students. To address the wide range of learning styles in the split class, I used a variety of strategies from fully flipped to teacher-led lectures and a blend of both.
AMDSB (occasional teacher): I have covered a variety of courses at the high school level, and have had to the opportunity to help many inclusion students as needed.
Fanshawe College: I taught a first-year level college math course in the pre-health science program. This course covers a wide range of topics that are typically covered in grades 9-12. I had the opportunity to work with a team of educators across three campuses to deliver common curriculum and assessments to ensure the integrity and reputation of the program was maintained.
Western University: I taught a second-year astronomy course for approximately 350 non-science majors. Though this course had been offered before, I was given the opportunity to make it my own. I made modifications by adding a participation component and an engaging photo assignment to the assessments. I aimed for my (3-hour) lectures to be as engaging as possible by incorporating polling, games, group work, and discussions.
Blyth Academy: I taught 3 private sections of grade 11 functions (MCR3U) to students requiring various accomodations and support. This was my first opportunity to teach a full course beginning to end and take on all the responsibilities that comes with that: course/unit/lesson design and implementation, development of appropriate assessments, grading and report cards, and communication with administration and parents.
Oakridge SS (practicum placement): I taught an extended (4-week) Earth & Space Science unit to two grade 9 academic science classes (SNC1D). I covered a huge variety of topics, ranging from the apparent movement of the moon and stars with respect to the Earth, galactic evolution, Canadian contributions to the space industry, the Big Bang, and Astrobiology. I used a wide range of innovative assessment strategies, including group building competitions, observational projects, and research projects.
A.B. Lucas SS (practicum placement): I taught two grade 9 academic math classes (MPM1D) for five weeks, and a grade 12 data management math class (MDM4U) for two weeks. In the grade 9 class, I covered the scatter plots and linear relations units, and the beginning portion of the linear modelling unit. I was given the opportunity to use innovative teaching strategies that involved Google Classroom, Pear Deck, Kahoot, and Desmos. The final project in the linear relations unit had the students creating their own linear art using Desmos.
