My name is Matt Goldhawk. I am an OCT-certified teacher from the Niagara Region - Fonthill, to be exact. I've lived in Niagara since the age of 10, which led me be to attending Brock University for my education. I completed a B. Sc. there (Biology/Chemisty combined), as well as minors in Music and Psychology. Afterward, I continued onward to obtain my B. Ed. for teaching at the Junior/Intermediate level. I've since taken an AQ course in Special Education, and and ABQ course in Intermediate/Senior Science, the latter which opened my options to teach children of a higher age level.
Currently, I am (primarily) a Science teacher at Royal Elite International Academy in St. Catharines, Ontario. I've been a teacher there since Sept. '13, and have been enjoying the process of meeting my new students for the 2014-15 school year. The courses I have taught thus far are:
Grade 10 Science (SNC2D)*
Grade 11 Chemistry (SCH3U)*
Grade 11 Biology (SBI3U)
Grade 12 Chemistry (SCH4U)
Grade 12 Biology (SBI4U)*
Grade 12 Individuals and Families in a Diverse Society (HHS4M)
Grade 12 Challenge and Change in Society (HSB4M)
* = teaching in current semester
Biographically, this is my story to date. However, life moves on and I intend to continue to develop my career. For an up-to-date biography/profile, you can always visit www.about.me/mrgoldhawk for the most current version of the above.
The purpose of this blog is to maintain a record of my experiences as a professional. This could include challenges, ideas, strategies - anything I consider to be relevant to my personal development (and therefore may be of use to others, too!). From Oct '14-Dec '14 I will primarily share my findings related to my professional development in the area of education and computers/technology.
Welcome to my blog - I hope you enjoy your stay.
