Real World Classroom
A super talented colleague of mine Nichole Van Sickle excels in teaching kids hands on lessons of real life in the classroom and teaches kids how to use credit, apply for their desks, pay for ‘water’ and ‘utilities’ and taxes while immersing them in a completely French environment.
Over a glass of wine we talked about how the media needed to be alerted to what she was up to.
What happened?
Real World Classroom came about. Her article made the front page of the BC Teacher’s Curriculum Magazine. The rest is history. Nichole now gets public speaking engagement requests for being a positive change agent. Not only that she has had opportunity to connect with key players within BC education. Talk about a game changer. Go get ’em Nichole. Rather than complain you exemplify what it takes to instigate change.
