Dominique Rochefort

Why do I want to teach?  I grew up surrounded by educators.  My mother is a speech and language pathologist for SD61.  The majority of her friends were teachers and so I grew up surrounded by people that were excited to teach.  I have developmental coordination disorder, growing up I didn't always have teacher who knew how to encourage and support my development.  I hope to be a teacher that encourages all my student to grow, learn and maximize their potential.   

I have two toddlers that I love to explore and learn with.  I love cooking and playing with nutrition.  I think that learning and nutrition work together in various ways.  Firstly, a brain needs proper fuel in order to learn, secondly cooking can be a vessel for learning.  Math, reading and problem solving are all crucial in cooking.
