Amadou D.
I am a Primary Junior/Intermediate qualified teacher working with Peel District School Board. My extensive educational background and my ability to speak fluent French, Italian, Arabic, Fulani, and Wolof make me an excellent asset for your French Language Programs. In addition, having lived in three continents has provided me with numerous opportunities to enhance my communication skills thereby making me a strong and a viable candidate to your team. As a Glendon College graduate with a Bilingual Degree with qualifications in French as a Second Language, I am a strong promoter of French as a Second Language.
My role as a classroom teacher has allowed me to work collaboratively with classroom teachers to plan, teach and implement a variety of lessons that incorporated balanced literacy, and differentiated instruction. In addition, I had numerous opportunities to use a variety of learning and assessment strategies to effectively support learners. My involvement in a number of community building events (tutoring with the board and Literacy Nights) allowed me to establish and maintain many positive working relationships with the parent community of the school. My extra-curricular involvement allowed me to better understand equity, diversity, and social justice concerns that are an integral part of the lives of the families serviced by the community.
I am very passionate about assisting students with achieving academic and life success; this passion contributes to my unique ability to build healthy rapport with students, within a very short period of time. Through effective classroom management strategies that promote positive student behaviour, I am able to build effective relationships that inspire success, confidence and hope in each student.
