When you can't find a way to meet expectations within the blocks of time, build outside of them. That can make all the difference.
ABOUT NOA DANIEL
Who I am
Education is one of my favourite things to think, talk, and learn about. I was told that makes me a teacher-geek, which I actually think is pretty cool. When I lead a workshop for teachers, the greatest compliment I have been given is, “I want to be in your class.” The worst insult I have ever received from a student was that I was a phoney because people couldn't possibly be that genuinely happy all the time. I am not actually happy all the time, but I really do love teaching, and it shows. My students know it. My colleagues comment on it (mostly in good ways), and being a positive person means every day is full of potential.
I am the mother of 3 incredible daughters (and our dog, Daisy) who keep my husband and I on my toes.
What I do
I am a classroom teacher in YRDSB, a consultant, an author, a podcaster, a blogger (obviously), as well as a TEDx and keynote speaker. My newest children's book is Strum and The Wild Turkeys. I am also a board member of Learning Forward Ontario , and I am the co-founder and executive director of The Mentoree.
Why I do this
Writing this blog is how I collect my thoughts and reflections on my BOB projects, our work at The Mentoree, the themes and impact of Strum and The Wild Turkeys, and write about other things that I contemplate in education.
What I can do for you
I build projects, initiatives, and capacity. These help learners/participants build skill, autonomy, community, and connection. I work with schools, community organizations and through edupreneurial endeavours in various forms to amplify voice and propel engagement for learners of all ages.
