Here are our wonderful guests for our upcoming class!
John Ames: My first Masters degree specialized in Literature and Science of the Late-Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries, focusing on how scientific trends in English and French circles of thinkers, such as Erasmus Darwin (C. Darwin's grandfather) and numerous French Philosophe scientists, influenced 1st and 2nd generation Romantic literature, such as that of John Thelwall, William Wordsworth, Percy & Mary Shelley, and John Keats.
In becoming a teacher I quickly became attracted to problems in special education research, embarking on a second Masters' degree in the field that continues to this day as a PhD student. During my Masters I was a Research Assistant for The Libretti of Learning: Portraits of Journeys to Operatic Accomplishment, examining how opera singers overcame learning disabilities through opera instruction: research that sparked my interest to this day.
Building upon my interests in community- and place-based learning and evolutionary roots of human emotional articulation, my PhD research looks at how multimodal arts-based methods, especially children's “muzik-theatre,” may promote literacy in writing and reading for students with learning disabilities.
One of my collective public aims is to create classroom adaptable training methods that will teach children the elements of creating their own short operas from conception to completion, thus promoting emotional growth through narrative development. It is my hope that through facilitating this method -- adapting one representational signing system to another -- greater cognitive understanding of writing and reading will generalize to learners.
My name is Toni Lazarova and I have been a highschool teacher in North Vancouver for the past 6 years. I have taught a variety of subjects, including Foods, Textiles, Fashion Design, Yearbook, and Learning Assistance. I have also held some roles as a teacher leader, including Department Head and Pro D committee, and I have been a club sponsor (Interact, Sewing for a cause, Yearbook, Fruit and Vegetable Delivery, Girls club etc.) I hold a degree in Food, Nutrition and Health, Education and a masters in Curriculum and Pedagogy from UBC. My interests include creating innovative new ways of teaching the curriculum, garden based education and many others.
