I currently live on Vancouver Island, but spent most of my life in Vancouver, BC. I have been working with international students and newcomers to BC, either in a teaching or administrative role, since 2001.
Exposure to diverse groups of learners has shed light on some of the challenges and successes that a new environment brings. Through my current practice as an Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) instructor, I understand how collaboration is directly related to the development of a sense of community and belonging. Settling in and adapting to a new country take time and continued support. My teaching experience includes a mix of face-to-face, blended learning and fully online models. As the information highway continues to expand and offer innovative, global education, I will continue to grow and explore new ways to deliver inclusive learning experiences. Through Pathways2BC, both international and domestic students, educators and employers can explore options to best meet their personal needs. |
