Katrina Brown
Grade 6 Teacher at June Rose Callwood PS in Saint Thomas, Ontario, Canada
Katrina Brown has been a classroom teacher with the Thames Valley District School Board for the past 15 years. She has spent the majority of that time teaching Grades 7/8 but transitioned to the Junior Division in 2015. This is her first year teaching Grade 6. She has presented workshops on how to integrate technology into an inquiry-based classroom to help develop critical thinking skills and promote global citizenship. Her primary focus is using inquiry as a means to dig deeper into the curriculum—an inch wide and a mile deep, to be precise!—using EdTech tools to amplify student voice through purposeful, student-driven choice.
