I am currently in the process of obtaining my Master’s of Education from Wilfrid Laurier University<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I began my teaching career in a Children’s House classroom in Markham, Ontario and later moved to Boston, Massachusetts and taught at both the Lower and Upper Elementary Levels.  During my years in Boston, I first earned the title of Elementary Co-ordinator and later moved into the role of Education Director for the whole school.  I also designed and led the summer camp for 5 years. Since returning to Toronto, I have held positions as Head of School at the Montessori Country School and Toronto Montessori School (Caledon Campus), Curriculum Co-ordinator and Guest Lecturer for Toronto Montessori Institute and Administrator for Ellington Montessori School.  I have also given a series of guest lectures at various teacher training centres and schools on topics such as professionalism, parent relations, record keeping, yearly planning, advertising, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 20 years in the field and in various roles, I have first-hand experience in leading and managing rapidly growing sole-proprietor and not-for-profit schools, as well as, education institutions.  I would like to share my knowledge and experience with Montessori educators to promote good practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
