Who I am as a Teacher & Learner

Hello,
My name is Emily Carroll and I was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. I hold a Bachelor of Science with an Honors in Human Kinetics and a Bachelor of Education with a focus in Biology and Health & Physical Education. I completed all  of my schooling in Ottawa, and it wasn’t until I graduated from my undergrad that I went on my first international adventure. Since graduation I have lived in Dubai and currently work at an international school in Malaysia. I have worked at this school for the past 5.5 years and in that time I have taught Science, Health  & Physical Education, Civics & Careers, Biology and Student Success for Grades 7 - 11. More recently, I have assumed the role of High School Facilitator for the Grades 9-11 program and have also obtained my IB-DP Biology CAT 1 certificate.  
My experience and love of living abroad is what led to my interest in pursuing further education in the area of "teaching abroad". I am passionate about teaching, as well as, learning about and exploring new cultures and countries. I am always interested in learning new things and building on prior knowledge to find new and innovative ways to engage in teaching and learning communities.
I am looking forward to exploring innovative approaches to teaching and learning with anyone and everyone that is interested!
