BC Curriculum
Link: Connection to BC Curriculum
The BC Curriculum encourages a flexible, competency-based approach. As a teacher candidate, I use this to create meaningful, personalized lessons that focus on communication, thinking, and personal/social competencies. My experience allows me to scaffold learning for diverse students while aligning with content standards.
- Inquiry-Based Learning: Encouraging students to ask questions and explore concepts deeply.
- First Peoples Principles of Learning: Respect for multiple ways of knowing, experiential learning, and recognizing the holistic nature of education.
Professional Standards

These standards shape how I model ethical, professional behavior. I build strong relationships with students and colleagues, and I continually seek to grow my own practice. My work in resource rooms has trained me to collaborates effectively, maintain confidentiality, and respect student dignity in all situations
First Peoples Principles of Learning
Link: First Peoples Principles of Learning
The First Peoples Principles of Learning highlight holistic, experiential learning. I integrate these by encouraging inquiry, using storytelling by bringing in Aboriginal Education Workers, (AEW) into the classroom, and creating community-based learning. My lesson planning always reflects the principle that learning is embedded in relationships and respect. During my practicums and working as a CEA, I have witnessed first hand how connecting with Indigenous ways of knowing promotes belonging and equity.
Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action
Link to Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action
I will incorporate the TRC’s Calls to Action by including Indigenous perspectives in lessons, respecting cultural protocols, and promoting reconciliation through education. I believe schools have a responsibility to recognize the truth of our shared history and empower students with knowledge and empathy.
