About me
I have been involved in education for over 30 years. I had the fortune of starting my career as a classroom teacher immediately after graduating from the University of Alberta. I continued my career working with the Ministry of Education and from there worked for a decade as the Executive Director of Curriculum with an educational company developing study tools both print and digital for students, teachers, and parents. I completed my Graduate Studies in Curriculum Studies at the U of A and have had the opportunity to work with several assessment companies in North America and Europe. Today, I continue to combine my experience and return to a classroom setting but to an audience of diversified learners with unique backgrounds and goals. I have founded a consulting business to collaborate and share ideas and methods to allow all learners the opportunity to reach their highest level of achievement and to inspire and motivate teachers. I have authored 15 resources focusing on reading comprehension success and provide professional development workshops and courses to teachers of all levels. Working with educators and school districts, we have developed the online tool RCAT for formative reading comprehension assessment, reporting, and monitoring of students’ performance. It has been an extraordinary journey and one that I continue to be excited and passionate about.
