Brent N.

Hi! I’m Brent and I am currently in my final year of teachers college at Ontario Tech. I grew up on a small farm in South Western Ontario where I developed a passion and love for everything science. It is because of this love for science that I enrolled at the University of Guelph to complete a Bachelors of Science in Agriculture degree. I strive to pass this passion of exploring and learning on to as many students as possible. I aim to make learning a fun experience and develop deep relationships with my students. Growing up playing volleyball and hockey has taught me valuable skills in teamwork, collaboration and communication. By making complex science problems simple, fun and engaging, as well as providing students with tools that match their specific needs, I believe any student has what it takes to become successful in the field of science!

Mia A.

Mia is originally from Australia but has called Whistler home for the past 10 years. She loves outdoor adventures and can often be found enjoying some form of the water cycle — whether it’s snowing, at the lake, or out for a rainy walk with her dog!

For the last 6 years, Mia has been teaching Grade 6 and 7 in the Sea to Sky School District. She has a passion for teaching Math and Science, and she also loves inspiring students to discover the magical world of reading.

James C.

James is a teacher who can teach in British Columbia, California and Ontario. He grew up in northern BC and completed post-secondary studies in Alberta and Ontario before going to California to start his career. He has taught students from Gr. 6 to post-secondary (mostly in the STEM subjects from Computer Studies to Calculus to Chemistry and Physics). Outdoor education was always in the mix from running an outdoor programme for a school board to teaching skiing and white-water kayaking. He was selected to create and review online Physics and Chemistry for both Ontario high schools and later within the Ontario College system; these experiences deepened his understanding of barriers to success in students who had already experienced frustration in math or science. Empowering students to move from discouragement to a growth mindset has been the fulfilling part of his career. A move to Squamish after 30 years of teaching has expanded outdoor adventures but he still longs to help students take on challenges and to also find some fun in the work.

 

Sabrina D. B.

Sabrina is beginning her 23rd year as an elementary school educator for the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board. She developed a passion for children from a very young age and knew she wanted to pursue a career in education, leading her to begin volunteering in daycares, schools, and babysitting in her early teen years. Sabrina received a double major degree in French and Italian Language and Linguistics from the University of Toronto and subsequently went into the Faculty of Education at York University. She began teaching right after graduation and embarked upon a versatile professional journey with students of all ages. The majority of her experience is in the elementary classroom in the junior and intermediate divisions, however she is also specialized in early reading strategies and has helped several children bridge the gaps in their literacy skills in the primary grades, summer school sessions, and private tutoring. Additionally, Sabrina acted as an instructional coach for her school board to mentor teachers in their daily teaching practices, with an emphasis on numeracy, literacy, inquiry and technology. Sabrina also has French, Italian, and Religion as teachables for high school, which led her to take on a position for modern languages on Saturdays with Grade 11-12 students. Although this was an enriching experience, her passion remains with guiding younger children along their personal learning endeavors. In her spare time, Sabrina is an advocate for wellness and mental well-being. She embeds this philosophy within her classroom to create a comfortable and safe learning space for her students by incorporating daily mindfulness activities to coach them on how to manage stress and their emotions. Sabrina makes her own well-being a priority by remaining active on a daily basis – through nature hikes, yoga practice, and strength training – and practicing her own mindfulness techniques through prayer, reading, and journaling.
