My teaching philosophy emphasizes contextual-based learning, which involves integrating real-world experiences into the curriculum. I strive to provide my students with opportunities for hands-on learning, such as inviting guest speakers, organizing field trips, and arranging off-site experiences, to enrich their understanding and foster meaningful connections with their learning.
This year, I took my Grade 8 Students to the Central Library to extend their research project. Here they learned how to look up, find, and reference different print sources for their paper.
We welcomed a professional photographer to share insights into the field and impart basic photography skills to students. This occurred in conjunction with our nature poetry writing unit, allowing students to visually capture the natural elements they were describing, thereby enhancing their visual literacy skills.
When learning about Edo Japan, I set up a sushi rolling activity for students to learn about sushi’s transformation during this period as a result of larger societal influences, as well as supporting student’s cooking skills through hands-on learning.
Taking students on a group hike with structured leadership activities along the way. This was a great way to promote wellness and community building.
