Secondary School
As an educator, I believe in the importance of providing secondary students with a wide variety of visual arts programming that encourages critical thinking and application. I maintain a deep understanding of the power of the art experience and use this belief to guide my student-centered classroom curricula. I am committed to teaching my students to possess positive self-awareness, innovative thinking, and original expression. In the secondary classroom, my teaching practice is focused on critical, higher order thinking and visual literacy in our contemporary Canadian culture and society.
Moreover, I believe in cultivating the intrinsic creativity of every student by providing the opportunities to engage in imaginative art making, beyond the rote manufacturing of reproductions, and instead, teach my students to express their own creative thinking.
