Brittany.sander@uleth.ca I believe that each child deserves the opportunity to learn in a safe, caring,
and stimulating classroom environment. I am continuously guiding students
to discover their own talents through interactive exercises and student
Lethbridge, AB centered learning. By including technology integration and interdisciplinary
learning I will ensure that my students are well rounded and introduced to a
variety of unique and personalized ways to learn.
