Bienvenue and Welcome to my blog! My name is Laurie Blair Dueck. I have been teaching since 2006. I started teaching Physical Education at the high school level, in Swift Current, Sask. After one year, I moved to the Regina Public School Division where I am still currently teaching. I have taught a variety of grades and subjects: French Immersion Physical Education and Core French for k-8, grade 1-3 French Immersion, grade 6-7 French Immersion and most recently Learning Resource Teacher in a French Immersion center. I am currently on maternity leave with my two and a half month old daughter and two year old son.
My family
Along with my Education and Kinesiology degrees, I have a Certificate in Inclusive Education. I am passionate about Inclusive Education, French Immersion Education and Physical Literacy and movement.
This is my first masters class in the Teaching, Learning and Leadership program. This semester, I am looking forward to having professional conversations with my colleagues and learning from their experience with online teaching and tools. I am looking to become more confident in using a variety of platforms to engage with my students as I have limited knowledge and comfort in this area. Finally, I hope to create tools and projects that I can take with me into my teaching world.
Hi Laurie,
This is also my first masters class in the Teach, Lead, Learn program. We seem to have similar academic goals. I am really excited to be a student again, especially in this new program. The flexibility it offers is enticing, and exciting.
Congratulations on your new baby!
