More about me
I have been with Kativik Ilisarniliriniq for over 13 years.
Previously, I taught at Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board in Laval and the Laurentians.
At KI, I taught secondary Math and Science at Kiluutaq School in Umiujaq for 4 1/2 years and at Nuvviti School in Ivujivik for 1 year.
Currently, I have been working as the Secondary Math and Science Ped counsellor and curriculum developer at Education Services in Kuujjuaq for 8 years.
My educational background began in Pre-Med but transferred to Mathematics.
I am a mother of 3 adult sons, 3 adult step-daughters and grandmother to a 20-year-old granddaughter and 13-year-old grandson.
I love to garden, ride bikes and swim. I force myself to run and am an undiscovered sculptor. My husband and I are DEVOTED dog lovers with a Malamute, Arthur, and Yellow Lab, Bob, at home.
I am looking forward to supporting and working with you this year.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about anything at:
2. Overview
2.1 KI Secondary Cycles
At Kativik Ilisarniliriniq, we have 6 grade levels in secondary; 3 levels in Cycle 1 and 3 levels in Cycle 2.
2.2 Competency Evaluation
At Kativik Ilisarniliriniq, we follow the same competencies in Mathematics as the MEES (Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement Supérieur du Québec).
Competency 1
Solves a situational problem
This competency has the same weighting as MEES, 30% of a student’s mark.
Competency 2
Uses mathematical reasoning
In the KI Cycle 1 program, this competency is weighted as 50% of a student’s mark. In the KI Cycle 2 program, this competency has the same weighting as MEES, 70% of a student’s mark.
Competency 3
Communicates using mathematical language
Like the rest of the province, this competency is taught but not directly evaluated. In the KI Cycle 1 program, this competency has been replaced by ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE with a weighting of 20% of student’s mark.
