About Lynn:
Lynn's teaching is founded on her respect for all students' strengths, needs and interests, and reflects her belief that all students can succeed. She introduces design thinking to prompt creativity and risk taking, making the inevitable but essential failures fun (class activity videos often have a blooper reel). A leader within her school, Lynn works with administrators, teachers and students to foster a strong learning community, address diverse students’ needs and create a positive school atmosphere where she helps to spearhead a school focus on universal design for learning. Lynn also plays a provincial role in curriculum consultations, resource writing and teaching, and looks to the next generation of educators, through work with education faculties.
