Jenny P. Email & Phone Number

With a rich background spanning 19 years in the realm of education, from Kindergarten to Grade 9, I have garnered extensive expertise in the nuances of public education in Ontario. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of collaborating closely with Early Childhood Educators (ECEs), Educational Assistants (EAs), and Administration, emphasizing the critical importance of fostering respect and facilitating effective communication within the educational ecosystem.Leveraging my significant experience in classroom instruction, I am deeply committed to continuous personal and professional growth. My dedication to expanding my knowledge and honing my skills is demonstrated through my active pursuit of ongoing learning opportunities. A notable achievement in my professional journey includes acquiring international qualifications in Reading Recovery and enhancing my grasp of the literacy curriculum.In recent years, my focus has extended to the realm of visual arts, recognizing its invaluable educational lessons. I take pride in guiding my Intermediate students in not only creating impressive artwork but also showcasing their talents at a distinguished public art exhibition. The collaborative process involved in this creative endeavour was both challenging and exceptionally rewarding.On a personal front, I bring 15 years of experience in the design, construction, and renovation of homes. I hold a designation from the Interior Design Institute, solidifying my expertise in this domain. My hands-on involvement in crafting original blueprints and collaborating with skilled trades professionals has given me a unique perspective on the indispensable role of skilled tradespeople in Ontario.I firmly advocate for the cultivation of diverse interests and entrepreneurial skills. I often reflect on how our educational curriculum can better align with the evolving demands of our daily lives and the global landscape. There is significant room for progress in curriculum development, and I am deeply dedicated to contributing to the refinement of educational approaches that cater to the needs of our students effectively.Ultimately, I aspire to bridge my dual passions: education and design, and integrate them with my love for travel. This aspiration drives my diligent efforts, as it holds the potential to bring transformative experiences and opportunities for both educators and learners, enriching their educational journey in profound ways.
