In the past I have taught at Leo Hayes High School and I have been involved with the Curriculum Advisory Committee for Broad Base Technology, Information Technology, Accounting and Computerized Accounting. For the past four years I have been fortunate enough to work as a Technology Mentor within District 18 and have strived to encourage teachers and students to use technology as a tool within their classrooms. I believe that technology can enhance classroom instruction and get students engaged in their learning. I also believe that we are embarking on new initiatives that will see District 18 become educational leaders across Canada. I believe that it is a professional obligation that principals and teachers embrace NB3-21C and that as an administrator it is important to lead by example and to encourage our fellow educators.

An effective educator does not only foster the development of their students, but also makes it a priority to increase the ongoing development of their own professional capacities. I personally believe in constant and consistent self-evaluation, setting short and long term goals, attending workshops, and seminars. I choose to be a teacher who does not only expect the best of their students but also of myself.

A quote by Renata and Geoffrey Caine is very relevant to the classrooms of the 21st Century and how we must encourage and assist those teachers who are struggling and support those who are leading by example. "Education for the future has left the harbour and is already on the open seas. Some educators are still clinging to the belief that the ship hasn't left and are invested in business as usual. Some educators are enjoying the freedom of the open seas... excited about the foreign ports and the places they will visit."
