I am very excited to be a part of the Dr. George Stanley team this year!
My experiences in education have shaped my pedagogy and belief in the absolute importance of relationships to student success, achievement, and happiness. It is my belief that there can be no significant learning in the absence of significant relationships. Students need to feel cared for, successful, safe and respected in order for each to take ownership over their learning, take risks, identify and solve problems, and form meaningful relationships with peers and adults alike. Communication is likewise imperative to a successful learning environment as children need to know what they are trying to accomplish and what they are doing right, in order to identify their next steps in learning. I look forward to working with students, parents and staff as we continue our journey to refocus our view on wellness education, taking a holistic approach to student health: the physical, the emotional, the mental. Our active living program works in tandem with the physical education program, as we believe that in order to live a healthy and balanced life, we cannot have one without the other.
