Aisling O.
Aisling is a primary school teacher who is originally from Ireland, where she completed a Bachelor of Education at Mary Immaculate College. Aisling was given the opportunity to teach grades 1 and 2 following her graduation. Aisling grew up with a deep love of travel and took the opportunity to explore the world after completing two full years of teaching after graduating. Aisling spent three weeks working with teachers and children in Uganda. It was here Aisling discovered her passion for teaching and working with children on a 1:1 basis. During the summer in Ireland, Aisling ran a Summer camp for children with additional needs. The camp gave these children an opportunity to practice social skills and engage in experiences in a safe environment. While living in Canada Aisling is taking the opportunity to continue her professional development, especially in the area of Behaviour Intervention which she feels aids her greatly in her one-to-one work. In her spare time, Aisling works one-on-one with children ranging from 4 years through middle school. She has supported the improvement of their reading, writing, vocabulary, and math skills. Aisling believes that by building a strong relationship with her students she is better able to meet their needs and grow their learning. As a mentor, Aisling continues to develop strategies for working with children. She finds these experiences enjoyable and extremely rewarding.
Aisling has a great love for the outdoors and enjoys participating in team sports. Aisling brings teachings from these experiences into her teaching to allow a holistic approach to every lesson.
