Academics

So far, I have engaged in an abundance of courses that will contribute to my goals as an educator. Even after only two years at the University of Victoria, I feel as though I have acquired knowledge, resources, and strategies that will assist me in my teaching journey. I look forward to engaging in more courses, as well as practicum experiences, to further grow my understanding in the future.

Here is a list of the courses I took during my First Year at the University of Victoria:

While I am gaining so much knowledge through my university courses, I know that I will continue to develop my knowledge outside of university as well. As a teacher, I will always be learning. For example, this may be through interactions with my students, engaging in extra courses to grow as an educator, or gaining information from my colleagues. I look forward to continuing to learn as a student, and throughout my career, to grow and develop as a teacher!
