Teaching has always been a vital part of what I do as a faculty member. While I still get plenty of chances to design and deliver learning opportunities for faculty members at MacEwan University and other schools, my favourite place to be remains the classroom working with enthusiastic undergraduate and graduate students. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had the pleasure of working with wonderful students and colleagues at the University of Western Ontario (now known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwo.ca\">Western University<\/a>) the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ualberta.ca\">University of Alberta<\/a>, Mount Royal College (now <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtroyal.ca\">Mount Royal University<\/a>), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uvm.edu\">University of Vermont<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macewan.ca\">MacEwan University<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and those experiences have taught me everything I know about teaching. If I want to continue to grow as a teacher and learner, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s imperative that I continue to teach and that I share those experiences with those I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m working to help improve their own teaching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got a busy year of teaching ahead.
