It was incredible to visit some schools over the last month and meet some of our amazing online students face to face!

Who is a teacher…..

When we first began school so many years ago, we were introduced to our teacher. This individual was the person who you trusted to help you learn all of those difficult things like Math, Writing, Reading and solving problems, among many other things. You knew you could trust that person because they wanted the best for you. Actually teachers spend much more time with children than do their parents, supporting and guiding. From greeting students in the morning to saying good bye at night, what you say and how you react with your students helps form who they will become in the future and who they should believe and trust. Seeing and speaking with you may be the best thing that happens to a child each day.

The role of the teacher is the most important role in the lives of young individuals. Many teachers become their students’ heroes. You, the teacher, are there with them through thick and thin, from when they fall and skin their knees, pass or fail a test or when they meet their first boyfriend or girlfriend. Many students confide more in their teachers than their own family members, because a teacher’s kind words, enthusiasm and guidance lets them know how important they are. You are there for them each day, and many times for more than Math or Science. You are their mentor, their facilitator, their friend and often a second parent.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our teaching staff for all that they do. It is not always easy yet they always make time for a little tutoring or offering an empathetic ear. I often have the opportunity to listen to our teachers speak about their students, and what I hear is always very considerate and kind. Your efforts and dedication have made LEARN’s online services what it is… an opportunity to soar, grow, experience, enjoy, feel supported, dream and succeed.

Thank you for the great work.

It’s AUDREY MCLAREN Day on the Online Learning Blog!

Mrs. McLaren (or Mrs. Mc²) – our awesome SN5 Math and ST Science Teacher!

You’re always searching for new ways to engage and inspire your students’ love of math and science.  The new tools that you discover, you always are excited to share with our team, and more widely through Twitter, and your enthusiasm is contagious!

Thank you for your incredible sense of humour, your inspiring creativity, and your shenanigan leadership that you bring to, not only your classes, but our weekly teacher team meetings. #grateful

It’s PEGGY DROLET Day on the Online Learning Blog!

Mrs. Drolet – our outstanding SN4 Math Teacher!

You have seen lots of changes in online learning since you joined the team.  One thing has remained constant – your commitment to giving your ALL for student success.

Thank you for being ever curious, super supportive, and very caring about not just math, but the students learning math.  I know that you have made a place in your heart for each and every one of them over the years, and your belief in them has made the difference for many.  #YouMatter

It’s NATALIE DAHLSTEDT Day on the Online Learning Blog!

Ms. Dahlstedt  – our terrific Physics teacher!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week(s) to our newest LEARN teacher! We’re so glad that you found us!

Your teaching jobs have led you around Quebec (and beyond) but now you get to teach students from around the province, from your own home.

Thank you for your fearlessness in the face of a NEW position with different technology, NEW students, NEW schools, NEW colleagues, and lots of NEW acronyms!  You’re fitting right in.
