My Travel Story

Through the teaching program at UBC, I have been given an incredible opportunity to travel to an asian country. (For privacy I cannot share the location but would be happy to share more in person)

For 3 weeks in June I will be working at a primary school. While there I will help teach, learn different teaching strategies, share lessons on Canada, experience the culture, and more!

I am passionate about this experience because I want to learn more about the nation I am visiting. Many of my practicum students, many of the students I supported as an education assistant, and many of my future students will have the heritage of the country I am visiting. I wish to learn more about their country of orgin (or the origin of their elder generations) so that I can honour my students better. Succinctly, I want to learn.

I hope to share my own personal teaching ethics around gentleness, respect, kindness, and inclusiveness.
