After years of being a TTOC in the New Westminster school district, D’Alice was able to get a contract teacher at the POWER Program, an alternate school for youth aged 16 – 19. Here D’Alice teaches a variety of subjects; Applications & Workplace Mathematics 10 & 11, Science 10, Earth Science 11, Science & Technology 11, Photography 11/12, and Physical Education 10-12.
In school D'Alice's favourite subjects were Science, Physics, and Mathematics. D'Alice's fondest memories of learning through situated learning and hands on experience were learning about acceleration using a skateboard and a fire extinguisher, about gravity while riding roller-coasters at SixFlags theme-park in California, about geology while visiting the Grand Canyon, and about ecosystems while tending to the class aquarium.
D’Alice is also a graduate student in the Master of Educational Technology program offered through the University of British Columbia. It is her goal to develop a Personal Learning Network to continue her personal development as a teacher. She believes that as educators we should model what we hope for our students, a desire to engage in life long learning by continuously challenging ourselves to pursue greater knowledge.
