JENNY H.
I am a middle school teacher that teaches the core subject areas. After graduating from the University of Winnipeg’s integrated Bachelor of Education program I began my career teaching early years in Thailand and Ecuador. Over the last 12 years I have collaborated with a group of colleagues in developing a student centered choice and voice approach. I have a passion to motivate students to think about the kind of world in which they want to live and engage in creating a more sustainable future.
My interest in social justice and the environment led me to complete my Post Baccalaureate degree and Masters of Education in Sustainability and Well-Being. I engage students in the learning process by building relationships and developing their competence through choice, feedback and direct instruction. I believe it is important to provide students with meaningful work in order to build independence. My overall goal is for students to become lifelong learners that contribute to society as a whole.
Outside of school I have many interests. I have studied piano and guitar; I enjoy art, traveling and triathlon! I am excited to be part of the Prep Academy team.
