In addition to my teaching and research, I have worked with students, instructors and faculty in education and medical settings to develop pedagogical expertise in both the on-site and virtual environments.
Prior to entering the University setting in 2000, I worked in a school system for sixteen years. My teaching experience included, in addition to the 'regular' classroom setting spanning all grades,
- FSL
- Self-contained Behaviour Class
- Self-contained 'Mixed Exceptionalities'
- Itinerant Learning Resource Teacher (Early Years to Intermediate) Inclusive model
- Central Office Program Staff with profile including "Giftedness"
My research interests continue to evolve. Currently, I am investigating scholarship in medical education, language and literacy teaching and learning, professional development, virtual learning environments and professional communities of practice. In particular, my interests lie in looking at policies/decisions/practices surrounding learning environments that stimulate and engage teachers' intellectual curiosity in ways that inform classroom practices with their students. I am also keenly interested in what we have to learn from students.
