We're excited to see you on the ice! Hello,
I would like to offer my tutoring services for this upcoming summer. I am a French Immersion teacher. I am very familiar with the new BC curriculum. I have taught grades 1 to 8. I am looking to tutor children privately for a few hours a week via Google Meet. I am available to teach all subjects from the elementary curriculum, specializing in French lessons for younger students. I have a Masters in Education in Second language learning from SFU and a French Immersion specialization from UBC (B.Ed. in French Immersion). I have graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree at McGill University in Montreal, where I specialized in Linguistics and Education. Furthermore, I have completed my Masters' degree in Education, specializing in Second Language Acquisition at Simon Fraser University. I have a Bachelor of Education from UBC specializing in French Immersion. I have also lived in France for a few months and in Quebec for five years. Please send me an email, if you are interested and wanted to discuss further. Best regards, Ioana [email protected] Vancouver School Board Superintendent Helen McGregor recently circulated a letter and resource guide to share information about Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI)-inclusive education.
Download the resources "SOGI-inclusive education is part of a larger educational approach that includes various aspects of identity and inclusion. Its main objective is to promote respect and understanding while reducing incidents of violence and discrimination against students and community members who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+. "SOGI-inclusive education is built into the BC Curriculum. It lines up with our ongoing efforts to build and grow an inclusive environment, complementing our work in equity, including racial equity, Indigenous equity and the inclusion of diverse abilities and needs in schools. This approach ensures that students learn and develop a deep appreciation for the diverse individuals who shape and enrich our society." The Vancouver Speed Skating Club has room in our beginner group if you and/or your child are interested in learning to speed skate! It's a fantastic sport with a supportive and amazing community. It brings together all ages and genders in pursuit of fast, fun times on the ice. We train at Kitsilano Rink twice a week, with one additional dryland session weekly. Tennyson students Linnea (Grade 7) and Tavi (Grade 1) are both in the club and they train in the same group - aka only one drop-off! If you have any questions, please ask at [email protected]! Otherwise you're encouraged to sign up for the One Month Trial program and come check it out. Fees include skate rentals!   |
