I&#8217;ve spent the last 3 years as a Faculty Associate at SFU, supporting student teachers from K-12. &nbsp;I&#8217;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. &nbsp;I also consider myself an environmentalist and a social justice advocate.<\/p>\n<p>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&nbsp;604-760-6157.
