A Bit About Me

New Math/Science Consultant Donna Morgan

As of September 25, I have started as the new District Math/Science Program Consultant.  I’m really looking forward to working with teachers from K-12 (and adult educators) across Burnaby.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’ve been a science and math teacher in Burnaby for 27 years.  I’ve worked at 3 (and a bit) secondary schools, teaching math from 8-11 and science (from 8-12). I’ve spent the last 3 years as a Faculty Associate at SFU, supporting student teachers from K-12.  I’ve got a great admiration for primary teachers (particularly K). Besides my strong interests in math and science, I am passionate about assessment and inquiry.  I also consider myself an environmentalist and a social justice advocate.

If you would like to collaborate on your math or science program, or are looking for some tips and resources, feel free to e-mail me (donna.morgan@sd41.bc.ca) or call at 604-760-6157. Or you can follow me on Twitter @donnamorgan8.
