Seta Moore-Bridge
Teacher and Life-Long Learner in London, Ontario, Canada
* Currently teaching Grade 3/4 French Immersion at Princess Elizabeth P.S.
* Previously taught at Trillium Lakelands and Toronto DSBs where I have gained many years of experience working in grades K-8 (including LST)
* Part of a Math Professional Development Team that presents our school’s improvement system, based on the “Connected Number Model”, to teachers and administrators in various schools throughout TVDSB
* Chosen to present a session at OAME this May entitled "Using Math Models to Improve Number Flexibility"
* A quote from The Little Prince that resonates with me when I think of the role of an Instructional Coach:
"'In the old days it was reasonable. I put the lamp out in the morning and in the evening I lighted it again. I had the rest of the day for relaxation and the rest of the night for sleep.'
'And the instructions have been changed since that time?'
'The instructions have not been changed,' said the lamplighter. 'That is the tragedy! From year to year the planet has turned more rapidly and the orders have not been changed!'"
