Welcome ! Welcome! Congratulations on your decision to become a teacher (a truly rewarding career choice!). I am really looking forward to sharing this journey with each one of you. My goal is that this class is a place where we can learn and grow together.

As educators, we face the challenge of preparing our students for a world that will be distinctly different than the one we grew up in.cv Numeracy and Literacy encompass much more now than they ever did before. Learning how to read, write and complete computations is a mere stepping stone to the higher order thinking skills that they will be required to master. Comprehending, researching, critical thinking, evaluating, reflecting, inferencing, communicating, summarizing, and collaborating are some of the essential skills that our students will require to be successful 21st Century Learners.
